I am really of an opinion that Live Chat is much ahead of the competition with their wide range of offering, hence making life easier. > > I integrated Live chat with my client's website and it brought a lot of value in first 30 days of use. It resulted in enhanced user engagement and doubt clearance instead of traditional user flow like filling and submitting a contact form. This not only made the website look rich but also uplifted the overall functionality on the system. ----- ### "LiveChat: More than a valuable tool" — 5.0/5 > **Larry** | *27 March 2025* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: LiveChat is so easy for new employees to grasp basic concepts and start using it. It's very similar to texting or messaging apps on anyone's phone. > > **Cons**: Although rarely needed, the support is best done through email. Their chat box for customer service seems to be a bot, which can be frustrating to use. > > I've been using LiveChat to support 2 web sites for our company for about 9 years and find that it's more than a valuable tool. True, we use it for a highly technical website and basically serve in a reactive role. The canned responses have saved us time and is great for new agents who don't quite have all the answers. Having the app on my phone also gives me freedom to leave my desk but not miss any incoming chats. But LiveChat is also a big part of improving our customer relations. The customers really enjoy getting immediate help the moment they need it. We also onboard new customers who are inquiring about our services and prices - in real time\! LiveChat has become a permanent part of our customer service experience. It is invaluable in supporting current customers and winning new ones\! ----- ### "Easy solutions" — 5.0/5 > **Tami** | *19 March 2024* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that I can get answers without having to call and wait on hold or email and wait for a response > > **Cons**: Sometimes it takes a while to get a person to chat with ----- ### "Unreliable service, wasted money, no support" — 1.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *21 December 2025* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "Best feature, integration, and automation mix" — 5.0/5 > **Lisa** | *3 March 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Best mix or features, integrations, and automation for a website chat service. I did a lot of research and signed up for a lot of free trial and this service won out. Chatbot integration was a major reason for this. > > **Cons**: nothing so far, used this service back in 2021 and coming back to it after current tool fell behind in features. > > smooth and easy so far. All of our set up issue were handled quickly by support chat and the knowledge base. ----- Page: 1 / 70\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/27068/livechat?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/27068/livechat) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
