Help.com vs. tawk.to

Help.com is well suited for companies with sales and support departments who have the employee size to manage and respond to visitors chatting. I think a less appropriate scenario would be a company that does not have the employee size to manage the inbound chats as it makes it less valuable if you cannot interact quickly.

tawk.to offers free basic live chat with no restrictions. I mean, before you go straight to Intercom, try tawk.to first. Sure, other platforms have a better feature set and more customization options, but all of them seem prohibitively expensive for a small business, especially when most aren't even sure if live chat is for them in the first place. tawk.to is a good platform for figuring that out. tawk.to provides me with exactly what I require, with no hassles and plenty of power. There has never been a problem with uptime or service.
