One of the best out there!

5.0 7 years ago

Comments: Higher client response rates and better retention. Waiting for them to find eh email link isn't enough anymore. Pure Chat means my "about us" page is on every page.

Pros:

So Easy! I use it on a Wordpress site. The plug-in takes a second and you are up and running. I was able to match it to my company color and feel to keep the flow of my homepage. I found we gained much higher engagement with our clients than with email or even texting. The back end is well tailored for control freaks like myself who wants to keep an eye on the team activity and responses. The list of respondents makes it easy to add to email campaigns and keep up with newly interested clients. An Android phone app! Icing on the cake for us. From PC to mobile, it's seamless. I am always connected to a customer in need. It's security that I am on top of my business and I won't miss a question that could result in a sale. Did I mention this is free? You can upgrade for even more functionality but once you start using it, you will wonder what more they have to give. Reports. That's what. Get granular on the amount of traffic on your site, and see it live, you and your teams response rate, and team activity. I cannot say enough good things about this software. I do test other options from time to time but I tend to come back to Pure Chat.

Cons:

I wish I had one. They give you excellent functionality for free and even more if you upgrade. Pricing in inline with other services. I'll update this review should a con present itself.

Its a wonderful solution comparable to tawk

4.0 5 years ago

Comments: Our clients needed a way to allow users communicate with them from their websites in real-time to help these leads make quicker buyer decisions. And while we used tawk earlier, we needed something modern and all-inclusive; and we believe PureChat gave us that.

Pros:

The service has a WordPress plugin we could integrate with our website, and the set up was really easy and straightforward. I even love the function where you can add an address and phone number to the chat widget that appears on your website.

Cons:

The fact that an agent has to be on a third-party website (i.e. PureChat website), outside your WordPress admin dashboard to respond to chats from clients' website was really an irregular procedure for a WordPress user.

POWERFUL MARKETING TOOL

5.0 2 months ago New

Comments: THE ENRICHING EXPERIENCE IS MEANING. THE ABILITY TO CUSTOMIZE IS A FAVORITE OF MINE

Pros:

THE ABILITY TO SPEAK WITH SOMEONE WHO IS ACTIVLEY VIEWING OUR WEBSITE IS PURE CHAT IS A REAL TRUST-BUILDING SOFTWARED THAT ENCOURAGES REPEAT CUSTOMERS, ALLOWS QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS TO BE ADDRESSED AT THAT TIME. PATIENCE IS NOT A THING ANYMORE, TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS A CUSTOMER SAT THAT MOMENT CAN MAKE OR BREAK THE TRANSACTIOON

Cons:

I HAVE NOT HAD ANY CONCERNS WITH THE SOFTWARE YET.

Why offer an app when it doesn't work?

3.0 8 years ago

Comments: I am away from my desk a lot, so I use the app so that I am still available to chat with on my website. This app does NOT work. Every time I open it it says it's reconnecting or it kicks me off. The other day I went to open a different app and pure chat kept popping up and kept saying that it was trying to reconnect to the server. So I started using my desktop more often because I am so frustrated with the app and it keeps doing the same thing! Keeps saying that it is trying to reconnect. I've had my internet provider come out and do tests, so that is no the issue. Everything else I have works perfectly fine except this. I am looking at different options because this just doesn't work out for our company.

Pros:

I like the idea that this software has to offer. Available to chat through the website because not everyone likes talking on the phone or just has a quick question.

Cons:

EVERYTHING.... This software doesn't work. Looking at a different provider because of this software's inability to do what it says it's going to do.

Super easy to use and integrate, mobile app works well.

4.0 5 years ago

Comments: It's very easy to use and quite functional. At our small size the free version works great. I just wish they provided an interface to apply your own CSS to their widgets.

Pros:

It integrated in just minutes and the app works great. I get instant phone notifications and I've never missed a live chat from my site.

Cons:

You can't customize the widgets by adding your own CSS. They provide some basic functionality but in order to make it match my site, I need to do some complex javascript to modify the HTML dynamically generated by their javascript plugin.
