Easy to install and integrate on any site.2. User friendly3. detailed chat data essential for planning. > > **Cons**: Improve reporting to be as detailed as possible. ----- ### "Best live chat software and there is no upfront cost\!" — 5.0/5 > **David** | *10 March 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy setup in multiple environments. We are currently hosting the plugin from a WordPress site, JavaScript + JQuery site, and a ReactJS site. All are being managed using the same Tawk.to the dashboard. From within the dashboard or mobile app you can build scripts and custom knowledge base articles that are super helpful when answering the same question for multiple clients. The ability to hire live agents as needed is such an amazing feature. > > **Cons**: Although they offer the base function of Tawk.to for free, their add-ons for removing branding and Video + Voice + Screensharing is way overpriced. I wish they would offer some of the site's other features as paid add-ons and drop the price to remove branding and screen sharing. Having a better À la carte system for features would be nice. > > It’s a great service that I would happily recommend to anyone looking to support their website visitors better. The live chat market is good overall, but Tawk.to is pushing what is expected out of services like this. We currently use Tawk.to on multiple sites, all managed and controlled by 1 Tawk.to account. The fact that Tawk.to can offers so much for free is astonishing. ----- ### "Know your visitors" — 5.0/5 > **Meenal** | *28 August 2019* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1) It help to know from where the visitor coming from. 2) Start conversion and pitch for any offer for specific customer. 3) Conversion to convert as a ticket. 4) Customer details for very conversion. > > **Cons**: Additional field is needed for Contact numbers. ----- ### "The best free chat option to integrate with your website" — 5.0/5 > **Antonio** | *10 February 2021* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Tawk.to promised to be free forever, and they kept their promise. I used them on and off for projects for the last 6 years and every time they delivered an even more polished product with tons of options that would satisfy anyone. > > **Cons**: I can't think of anything I dislike or think tawk.to has to improve. It is easy to use and extremely simple to integrate to your existing website. > > I started using tawk.to as my go to solution for all the clients that needed a chat system. I used it first for an Icelandic tourist company that suddenly had many new visits on their website. Tawk.to actually increased conversion tenfold. Later I used it in a myriad of projects, in Iceland and Croatia, and they all had increased revenue just by providing a chat box on their website. Of course, the wonderful people answering all the questions also had to do with the success of the cases, but I still believe that tawk.to's beautiful design and easy to use interface are the champions of the story. ----- ### "A Flexible Chat Option" — 4.0/5 > **George Rex** | *2 March 2021* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I was looking for a quick and easy live chat support software to integrate into my WordPress site, and I saw the flexibility, ease of use and the quick-to-setup procedure of tawk. The fact that I could chat directly and render realtime support to users from my WordPress backend was also another important feature I applaud the makers of this software. > > **Cons**: The software didn't have a clean user-friendly interface, which was a big turn off somewhat. I like software and applications to have beautiful material designs that will keep users engaged, whether frontend or backend. > > Take was helpful to me, considering the fact that it was available for free, since I was trying out lots of options then. I was happy with them as long as I used it. ----- Page: 1 / 15\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/87716/tawk-to?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/87716/tawk-to) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
