Pros Loving the versatility and customization available within the software. We're already integrating it with other apps we use to create a really curated experience for our clients. Cons No cons! I have always wanted to onboard LiveChat after using it myself as a consumer. Now using it as a business user, I find it super easy to adopt and implement. Review Source SG Swagat G. Founder and CEO Arts and Crafts Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Live Chat plugin for WordPress websites" April 17, 2026 5.0 Pros LiveChat plugin has really helped us with the activating livechat feature on our business website. It is easy to set up, very reliable and has helped us capture more leads and close more sales. Cons The pricing is something that could be improved. It feels a bit high if compared with other competitors. Switched from [Tidio](https://www.capterra.com/p/144040/Tidio-Chat/) Just wanted to try a new product, there was no specific reason. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Managing director Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Unreliable service, wasted money, no support" December 21, 2025 1.0 I paid for this live chat service for years and it has consistently failed to work properly. The system disconnects on its own without any warning, incoming client chat requests are not notified, and messages are missed entirely. As a result, both we and our clients were left frustrated and dissatisfied. The software is unreliable, outdated in its logic, and poorly designed. It behaves differently depending on whether it is used via browser or mobile, with absurd functional limits for a paid professional service. Managing it is laborious and pointless. It provides no benefit to client support and actively damages it. Despite these ongoing failures, payments were taken regularly. I never received proper assistance or meaningful technical support, despite repeated problems over time. The service never matched what was promised or reasonably expected. We have cancelled our account and are waiting for a refund. This service wasted time, money, and caused continuous operational stress. I strongly advise avoiding it. Pros Nothing. No reliable functionality, no support, no benefit for client management. The only positive aspect was the initial promise of a multi-site live chat solution, which on paper appeared suitable for managing client enquiries across several websites. Unfortunately, this promise was never fulfilled in practice. Beyond the basic concept, there was no real advantage, no reliability, and no tangible benefit in daily operations. The service failed to deliver any meaningful positive experience over the years of use. Cons The service disconnects without warning. Incoming chat requests receive no alerts. Browser use breaks mobile use and the reverse occurs. Functional limits are absurd for a paid service. The platform feels obsolete, slow, and exhausting to manage. Support was absent despite years of payments. Clients complained due to missed messages and lack of responses. Review Source Brian S.

February 22, 2026 5.0 I'm going to buy this product for my business. I plan to sell https://gitopsmanager.io on AWS and Azure Marketplaces. I needed a LiveChat and Support Ticketing system and this is perfect! My app manages kubernetes clusters in AWS / Azure and an opensource suite of tools to enable GitOps build and deployment globally. LiveChat and HelpDesk are critical to my success in offering great support experience to my customers. Pros I tried HubSpot in terms of live chat and notifications and was really disappointed. Then I read about LiveChat + HelpDesk and thought I would give it a try. the LiveChat notifications work on every message, I was also able to transform a conversation into a ticket when the chat ended with a workflow automation that worked the first time! Cons the workflow automations were an obscure checkbox on the my user profile to enable beta features and the AI chat bot didn't help, but when I got to a real person this was quick. Alternatives considered [Zendesk Suite](https://www.capterra.com/p/164283/Zendesk/) Reason for choosing LiveChat the cost was much higher than LiveChat + HelpDesk Switched from [HubSpot CRM](https://www.capterra.com/p/152373/HubSpot-CRM/) notifications didn't work well. This was a deal breaker for me. Review Source CP Colleen P.

LiveChat, ChatBot, and Helpdesk have been very beneficial for our team. LiveChat allows us to connect with job seekers and community members in real time, making it easier to answer questions, provide guidance, and create a welcoming first point of contact. ChatBot helps us extend support beyond regular office hours by responding to common inquiries and directing people to the right information or next steps. Helpdesk gives our team a more organized way to manage inquiries, track follow-up, and ensure nothing gets missed. Together, these tools have improved our responsiveness, strengthened the client experience, and helped us serve people more efficiently. Pros LiveChat, ChatBot, and Helpdesk have been excellent tools for OFE. They have helped us improve responsiveness, organize inquiries, and provide better support to the job seekers and community members we serve. LiveChat makes real-time communication easy, ChatBot helps with quick answers and after-hours support, and Helpdesk keeps our team coordinated and efficient. These tools have strengthened our service delivery and improved the overall client experience. Cons Setting up LiveChat and a ChatBot can be a bit overwhelming, but the support team is excellent and will walk you through any challenges that occur. Review Source MD Max D. Night Audit Hospitality Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Reliable and user-friendly Live Chat solution" March 25, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with LiveChat has been very positive. It has improved communication efficiency and helped provide faster support to customers. The setup process was straighfoward, and the platform has remained reliable in day-to-day use. While there are minor limitation, the benifits outweight the drawbacks, making it a solid choice for businesses looking to enhance customer interaction. Pros LiveChat stands outfor its ease of use and quick setup . The interface is clean and intuitive, making it easy for both new and experienced user to navigate without much training. Customer support is responsive and helpful whenever issues come up. The platform offers strog communicationtools, including real-time chat updates, canned responses, and integrations with other systems. Overall, it delivers great value for money considering the features and reliability. Cons One downside is that someadvanced features require higher-tier plans, which can get expensive over time. The customization options, while decent, could be more flexible for branding and workflow automation. Occasionally, updates may change the layout or sttings, requiring users to readjust. Also, reporting features could be more detailed for deeper analytics. Review Source Bill L. Vice President of Sales and Operations Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good Chat Option for Websites" April 21, 2026 4.0 Overall, it’s been solid and reliable. It’s easy to use, helps teams respond faster, and keeps support organized in one place. The main downside is cost as you scale, but the day-to-day experience is smooth and efficient. Pros It’s easy to set up and use, keeps all chats in one place, and makes it simple for agents to respond quickly. The automation and reporting features also save time and help track performance. Cons Pricing can get high as you add more agents, and some of the advanced customization and reporting options feel limited unless you upgrade or use extra tools. Review Source Scott M.

Pros \[sensitive content hidden\] got me back into my old account as i was still being charged but wasnt using it for so long. Cons nothing Review Source Joseph H. Executive Director Government Relations Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "How to get to the bottom of an upgrade or downgrade" April 2, 2026 5.0 Quick. Easy to use. Easy to reach someone. Easy to navigate. Completely useful in every way one should expect from a LiveChat. Pros Everything! But is a bit pricey overall. I really like the way it is added seamlessly into my websites. Cons Price for upgrade beyond Starter Plan. If only there was a better way to upgrade to at least one more seat without being charged so much more than only one seat. Review Source JG Jacob G. Operations Computer Games Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Thanks for the assistance rendered by Support." March 27, 2026 4.0 So far it is pretty good. There are always areas to improve the platform. Will be great to include more automation system with respect to AI. Pros Customer Support is always on hand to help. A good customer support platform for businesses to deploy. Cons Should have more Apps or Tools as part of the generic platform rather than having to pay for many of them. E.g. Ticketing system for tracking and monitoring. Review Source AL Antony L. Ecommerce Manager Business Supplies and Equipment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good chat focused app with lots of features" February 7, 2025 5.0 Pros Good support, easy to use and integrate, good customisation & loaded with features. Cons There are some features which don't have an option to toggle off. Alternatives considered [Gorgias](https://www.capterra.com/p/155357/Gorgias/) Reason for choosing LiveChat Lacking chat focused features and some core functionality we required such as automated internal email transcripts. Switched from [Zendesk Suite](https://www.capterra.com/p/164283/Zendesk/) Zendesk offered poor widget customisation and the support was not very good. Review Source MM Mason M. Founder and CEO Arts and Crafts Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "LiveChat... expensive but good." February 21, 2025 3.0 Pros LiveChat has a nice interface and is easy to integrate Cons The pricing of LiveChat is not affordable for small businesses.

Review Source PB Paul B. Customer Experience Manager Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Use LiveChat, you can't go wrong!" May 6, 2025 5.0 More than 3 years full time, managing thousands of chats. The Archives page shows 20,847 right now. Not that bad, right? I think it's a very good tool, I loved it in the past when it had the tickets management integrated, then there has been the switch off to HelpDesk at the beginning of this year, which, after some hiccups, it has been positively finalised, and now we are just one month before the next huge update, with the one Text App combining multiple tools into one, so I guess it will be the same as before. For our company audience no chat bot has been used, our customers ask for an in person chat, although several times I've been asked if I were human. With all the experience accumulated with time, a good knowledge of our current offers, and the aid of canned responses, you can quickly reply to any question, and this may feel like robotic. Pros It works! There are so many positive aspects that there is not one that stands out, which means that the tool is correctly balanced to provide all the features needed. Cons I cannot remove nor rename a segment, this is a long time bug, I am used to, meaning that I can remove or rename it, but it then reappears 🤷‍♀️ Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Administrative support Consumer Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Resourceful, efficient and very dependable " September 14, 2025 5.0 Overall, I am very satisfied with Livechat and would highly recommend to my colleagues and other professionals for long term reliable use. Pros The fast, friendly and effective support I receive in a short time frame. I always receive a prompt helpful response from the staff filled with enthusiasm. Cons Although, they are most always helpful and eager to provide the correct information sometimes they are not providing the most current information as to statistics. But for the most part they provide up to date resources. Review Source RC Russ C.

Pros Once deployed, it has been solid as a rock. Cons It was a little convoluted to get it setup and going. Review Source TN Thandeka N.

Pros How easy it makes it to engage with live customers in lesser time Cons Sometimes the page information doesnt appear on the right side, which makes it difficult to solve a ticket faster Review Source WD Willo D.

Saves me from countless emails and phone calls. Live chat provides an amazing opportunity for the customers to receive service and communication quickly and provides legitimacy to our shop and brand Pros Great service during initial set up. (and any questions)... I love that it is easy for customers to get in touch with us easily and the app doesn't slow my website down! Cons I would like to set up hours for the program to be on and off (under my plan). I am a one woman show - so no of course I am not going to be available at 1am EST ! - but the PCT people think we should!! Review Source PB Pernia B.

Customer support for 24/7 has enabled us to retain customers and attract leads. Cons I do not like the fact that LiveChat can’t function in absence of internet connection.

September 16, 2024 5.0 LiveChat seems to be a feature on almost everything I use now, and I love it because if I have any questions or concerns at all LiveChat is always readily available! Pros Using LiveChat seems so easy and since i am so awkward over the phone, LiveChat was helpful without actually talking one-on-one with a person! Cons At first i was very nervous about using the LiveChat, because i wasn't familiar with it. Review Source DP Dhruvil P.

February 8, 2018 5.0 I get instant connection to my customers with tons of features, customizations, and robust reporting. Pros What I like most about LiveChat is it's reliability. When I began researching chat applications to recommend to a client for use in their recruiting efforts, I found a lot of options. I also found a lot of issues. Many of the applications I looked at were complicated and glitchy. Then I found LiveChat. LiveChat just worked. It was solid application whether online or on my desktop and it handled chat conversations reliable while offering all the features I was looking for in a manned chat application. When I spoke with a representative from the company, I found out why. LiveChat set out from the beginning to be a manned chat solution and to be the best in the business. I was kind of disappointed with this at the beginning, because I was hoping for a solution to handle both manned and bot style chats. LiveChat didn't have bots, but they were so far above every other manned chat platform, that I had to choose them. Incidentally, they have developed a bot situation since I first signed up with them and it is just as robust. It's called botengine.ai and I highly recommend it. BotEngine integrates seamlessly with LiveChat and both applications work reliably with Facebook Messenger, Web Pages, Landing Pages, and more. LiveChat offers tons of customization, professional looking interfaces, and robust reporting. I can easily use it on my desktop computer, my notebook, my tablet, or my phone. And just like I said before, it just works. Cons If there was anything to dislike about LiveChat, it would be that it is resource-intensive on my iMac. This is a casualty of my business, though. I have to use a lot of memory-hog applications every day, so a lot of times I will enable LiveChat just on my mobile device or my notebook while I'm working at my desk. That way I can still respond to chats without slowing down my main machine.
