HelpCrunch vs. LiveChat

HelpCrunch is well suited when you need to provide support to your customers, generate leads and answer questions to drive sales. I cannot think of a situation where it may not be suitable but it is definitely more suitable for the B2C segment.

We needed a mechanism in place to make contact with visitors to our website easier. What we discovered is that it's an excellent tool for creating reports and dashboards that show how soon issues are handled. Our website can now be updated in real-time, and all of our internal teams are really excited to use this fantastic technology. I really recommend [LiveChat] to many friends and past colleagues.

• Affordable pricing
• Great customer support
• Useful features

• LiveChat has an easy to navigate UI. Most of the tabs you need are on the left and self explanatory.
• If the team itself has any issues with the software, there is a small help tab on the bottom right for immediate tech support. Not sure if it is 24/7 but quick response.
• There is also a "Reports" tab that makes it easy for the management department to keep track of tickets answered and task to assign.

• It needs additional training resources.
• End user support is not the greatest.

• Price point is a little on the high side, making it difficult for some small businesses to justify.
• When monitoring chats from a manager standpoint, there seems to be an inherent delay; it does not appear to be instantaneous.
• Very minor, but the chat widget sound options can be annoying, and wish there were more available options in order to allow employees to differentiate their own sessions if their desks are near one another.

Always available, very knowledgeable, faster resolution.

The only issues I have had with LiveChat are the technical glitches within the program. These are not common as in everyday occurrences but when the glitches do happen they tend to have very negative repercussions. This is due to chats with customers being dropped, this may be an internal server issue though and may not happen for everyone.

It is much better than most alternatives available. After doing an initial evaluation with competing solutions, this ended up checking most boxes covering [the] majority of used cases.

We had to move away from Intercom as it changed it pricing model and the pricing that it came to us with was out of our budget. LiveChat gave us a better product at a lesser price. Intercom did not provide us with chat support for the plan we were on - at times we had to wait 24 hours for a reply to a query on their chat. Livechat literally has chat support at all times. This really helped me with my Implemetation.

• Only been using it for a few weeks so I can't give an exact amount relating to ROI, however, I have noticed a 20% increase in interactions with website visitors

• As I mentioned before, LiveChat can be used to evaluate the quality of the service provided by your employees.
• LiveChat can ease the work done by your Customer Care team. In addition, it is very easy and fast to learn how to work with LiveChat, so you would need less time to train your new customer care specialists.
• You can have much better customer care service and your clients will be much more satisfied.
