User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
Help.com
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.

Tidio
Tidio is well suited for businesses who want to chat with their site visitors in real time. The interface is simple and intuitive, and the user experience on the visitor side is great as well. Perfect for installing on a marketing site, proprietary portal, and more. Can set up an after hours bot to help triage requests from clients and prospective clients when you are back in office.
