Sounds good. How is it better from Fb messenger?
Pavlo Pavlenko
@ruslan_doronichev HelpCrunch is not just the live chat for a website. It can act as in-app messenger as well. This means you can install it right inside your web service (for example SaaS) or inside your iOS/Android application. We also provide manual emails right from the agent chat window, one-time email campaigns and automated triggered emails as well. You can also set up email forwarding so that all emails to your support or sales email addresses are automatically collected by HelpCrunch to provide a unified interface for all your chat an email correspondence with your customers. On top of that we also provide a handy and simple to use helpdesk (aka CRM) so that you can manage all your multichannel communications better and efficiently with tags, statuses, notes etc. P.S. As far as I know FB messenger requires your website visitors to connect their FB accounts before they chat with you. Not everyone wants to share this kind of information. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Pros:

Great design, easy to use!

Hey Alex! Thanks for your warm words πŸ™Œ It's a real pleasure having you as a customer. If you need just anything from us - you know where to drop us a line.
Pavlo Pedenko
I'm curious how this differs from Intercom? Is it just cheaper?
Pavlo Pavlenko
@pavlo_pedenko Hey Pavlo! Intercom is a great software, but really overpriced. There're a lot of micro features that stand us apart from Intercom and you can also read through all the major distinctions by visiting this comparison page: https://helpcrunch.com/intercom.... We have a considerable amount of customers that switched to us from Intercom, though frankly there're a few who switched from us to them. In the end of the day it's only up to you what to use for your support, marketing and sales. And the best way to make a decision is to give all the best options a try. This is also one of our goals providing a free version. You can still trial any of our paid plans for 14-days, but for some people it's not enough as we're all busy people, right? So you can start with the free version just to check the basics and then choose any paid plan that suits you best and try it for 14-days. P.S. We actually support almost any custom scenario so don't hesitate to chat with us and ask for whatever you want πŸ˜‰

Great and easy to use product! Funny promo πŸ˜ƒ
Pavlo Pavlenko
@andrei_karol Thanks a lot. Yeah, we decided not to be too serious about the promo. If you don't have fun with what you do - why do you do it then, right πŸ˜‰
АндрСй Уманский
Best free chat that I've tried. Happy customers - happy bussines
Pavlo Pavlenko
@angur Oh that is so true! Our main goal and what we really believe in is conversational approach to support, marketing and sales. There're so many businesses out there right now and the only three ways to differentiate are: disruptive idea, business model and the SERVICE. You can actually do similar things your competitors do, but provide an outstanding communications throughout the whole lifetime journey of your customer, and this will definitely make your customer stick with your product.
Alexey Shulzhenko
Really like this well made IM chat! Planning to buy full plan.
Pavlo Pavlenko
@alexey_shulzhenko Can't wait to see you among our customers πŸ˜‰
Yevgen Tsvetukhin
Great Video and nice design. We are actually searching for chat + in app user notifications on trigger event. Looks promising so far.
Pavlo Pavlenko
@yevgen_tsvetukhin Cool! Feel free to chat us if you need just any kind of assistance. Be sure we'll do our best to provide you with the outstanding support! πŸ˜‡
Dmytro Bilash

I do like this product. It's easy to use, easy to set up and looks very nice. For me visual appearance is important and I'm totally satisfied. 10/10 ;)

Pros:

Cool design! Visual appearance is always an issue with such tools, but they coped with it ;)

Cons:

Try to use a bit longer.

Pavlo Pavlenko
Thanks mate! CaptainGrowth is a very nicely designed website and software so I really understand why the appearance is that important for you. And you're right about other tools with a very outdated design. What I personally think is that the live chat is a face of a business. It's a tool where customers ask questions and get the 2nd impression about you and your brand (the 1st one is the website itself), so you can't afford installing a bad looking chat.
Stas Shyshkin

A great alternative to pricy chats, like Intercom. Really happy that you're making a quality live chat affordable for businesses on the make!

Pros:

user-friendly + affordable

Cons:

haven't noticed yet

Pavlo Pavlenko
Thanks Stas! Be sure you'll hear a lot more about HelpCrunch in the coming days. We have so many things on our list. Can't wait to finish them all and share with the world!

Congrats on your launch, guys! We love your product. Quick question - you mentioned that you'll be launching knowledge base and chatbot features soon. Can you share the ETAs on those?
Daniil Kopilevych
@ilya_azovtsev Thanks for the support and your question. The ETA for Knowledge base and Chatbot functionality is Q4 2018 / Q1 2019 πŸ˜‰ We will keep you updated on those for sure
Ilya Azovtsev πŸ’Œ+πŸ€–=πŸš€

These guys are awesome! Keep going!

Pros:

Like the design

Cons:

Didn't find it yet

Pavlo Pavlenko
Thanks mate! Appreciate your feedback and motivation!
Mila Ganzha

I've been using it for over a year and I'm satisfied both with the features (proactive invitations, visitor monitoring, analytics etc) and their support. Good live chat for businesses that need to attract customers, support them, and sell online

Pros:

Cuztomizable and intuitive

Cons:

all's ok so far

Pavlo Pavlenko
Thank you so much, Mila. If you have any suggestions, you know the best way to reach us - HelpCrunch chat πŸ˜€
Andrei Zinkevich
Congrats with the launch! I'm wondering, what's the difference between your full product and Intercom or Drift?
Daniil Kopilevych
Hey @andrei_zinkevich - thanks for the great question. Main differences between HelpCrunch paid plans and Intercom are the following: - More affordable pricing: our packages start at $12/mo - Billing: we charge per agent vs per active users which allows you to grow without your monthly bills growing like crazy - Support: we provide a personal onboarding assistant to every user. You can learn more about those and other differences of HelpCrunch vs Intercom here - https://helpcrunch.com/intercom.... Here is also a table highlighting the comparison of HelpCrunch's free package vs Drift vs other alternatives - https://helpcrunch.com/blog/help... Hope this all was helpful πŸ˜‰

Hi Product Hunters! We’re excited to launch a 100% Free live chat & in-app messenger for you. We’ve built it specifically for early-stage startups and small business owners to communicate better and faster with their customers. As you may know, HelpCrunch is a complex customer communication platform combining a modern live chat, in-app messenger, email marketing automation, as well as a simple helpdesk (features like Knowledgebase and Chatbot are coming soon too). But during the last 2 years of constantly talking to thousands of our users, we’ve noticed that some new businesses simply can’t afford and don’t need as many features as an all-in-one customer service software offers. Thus, those users have to use free alternatives which are either poor looking or very limited in functionality. We hope to serve that need with our free live chat - here are some of its highlights you may want to know about it: - It is indeed 100% free forever! No need to upgrade to a paid plan if you don’t require additional functionality and you’re ok with some limitations on the free plan. - Talk to your customers in real-time via live chat on your website - Customize your live chat widget to suit your website style and brand - Capture more leads with proactive messages - Deeply integrate HelpCrunch with your product to send laser targeted marketing campaigns - Communicate with your customers on the web and via mobile apps anywhere & anytime Check out the free live chat and let me know your thoughts or questions in the comments below - we’ll be happy to answer those throughout the whole day. By the way, if you need more advanced functionality beyond the free plan, check out our standard plan starting from just $15/mo.

Looks awesome!
