    Pros

    I lke the fact that its pretty configurable, it allows you have ton a of rules around what to show, where and to whom. Proactive messages is my favorite feature, banners are pretty handy too.

    Support is great by the way

    Cons

    A few improvments can be introduced the mobile user experiences but these are not critical at all

    Overall it is good based on the functionality it currently has. But there is always ways for improvement, right?

    Pros

    Integration with iPhone. Easy to track if all chat users were handled and taken care of. Easy to embed on the website. Ability to send an email to offline chatters. The ability to block a person. Emailing a transcript.

    Cons

    - The fact I always have to open Helpcrunch website to answer chats. Sometimes you just forget to do that! The fact there is no any Windows App which would support HelpCrunch and start with Windows, so the chat would be always be connected to the agent.
    - The fact there are no shortcuts or templates which would allow to type something like "/greet" and it would send a templated message i.e. Hello my name is Alex Satler. Please let me know how may I help you today? etc"
    - The fact there is no way to guide your chat visitors around your website. Say, a visitor is interested in seeing my pricing. I simply enter a code "/price" and it re-directs a visitor to the page with our pricing and so on.

    Reasons for Switching to HelpCrunch

    Primarily - because of your support on mobile platforms and based on feedback we received from our sales team.

    Response from HelpCrunch

    Hey Alex!
    Thanks for the detailed review.

    Glad you found most of the functionality in HelpCrunch helpful and easy to use.
    Of course, there's always room for improvements - and that's what out team is always after.

    Wanted to address a few things you've pointed out:
    - Currently there is only the browser version of the product available, but we're looking to develop desktop versions (for Mac and Windows) at some point, perhaps next year.
    - You can utilize Saved responses feature to instantly insert templated messages in the conversation. Just type in '#' when entering a new message and you'll see the list of all saved responses which you can insert and modify at any time.
    This way you can create a greeting or a pricing-related message with a link to your pricing page.

    Hope that helps. If you have any other suggestions or questions, don't hesitate to reach our support team via chat!

    Kind of good.

    Pros

    Working as live chat software, as a start.

    Cons

    Expensive, not worth the price. So the most are bad.

    Response from HelpCrunch

    Hi Bunny, thanks for your review!
    Sad to hear that you didn't find our price attractive for your business when in fact we have one of the most competitive prices on the market with more features included and starting at just $12/mo.

    If you feel like there's something you'd like to configure in our pricing for your specific case, we'll be happy to discuss and provide you with a custom plan according to your needs.
    We're always flexible and open to feedback to ensure that our customers get the most value out of HelpCrunch for their business.

    Great - probably the best messaging software

    Their support is amazing and friendly - regardless of you being a paying customer or free user.

    Their support is amazing and friendly - regardless of you being a paying customer or free user.

    Pros

    Simply, the biggest pro is that it just works. When it comes to Messaging software, reliability is essential. In the past, ive had messaging plugins not send a message to me because i haven't opened their app in some time and it auto logged me out. I have never missed a message with helpcrunch.

    It also looks more modern than the competition.

    Cons

    There isn't really a con. The only thing is that i get emailed each time i receive a message - so if i am having a conversation with someone i will get dozens of emails, rather than just two emails, (one alert at the start and one summary at the end).

    But that is likely something that will get ironed out, more than an intentional feature.

    Response from HelpCrunch

    Thanks so much for your review, Joe!
    Appreciate all the little details you've mentioned.

    Your feedback regarding email notifications about new messages is well taken and passed to our product team.
    All the best!

    Overall experience with HelpCrunch has been really good and I think it will really help us with our business.

    Pros

    I like the ways you can customize this product to your needs/themes and the easy of use. Literally everybody would be capable to write an article in HelpCrunch and the changes are global instantly.

    Cons

    Only thing I didn't like that much is securing a custom domain helpdesk with SSL on different server than apache or nginx - they don't have instructions for our kind of server.
