Tie+ Generous free tier with up to 10 agents — best free plan in live chat
+ Freddy AI chatbot handles common queries and routes complex ones to agents
- Free plan limited to 100 contacts for chatbot interactions
“Freshchat's free tier let us start with 10 agents across our team without spending a dollar. The Freddy AI bot handles 40% of our support queries automatically. When we outgrew it, upgrading to Growth was painless.”
+ Dead-simple setup — paste one line of code and you're live in minutes
+ Clean, distraction-free interface focused on human conversation
- Limited AI/chatbot capabilities compared to Intercom or Freshchat
“Olark does one thing and does it perfectly — live chat. We had it installed in 5 minutes and our team was chatting with customers the same day. No AI confusion, no complex setup, just straightforward human conversation.”
