We believe in honesty. Here's where LiveChat has an edge:

Excellent agent collaboration tools
200+ integrations including advanced CRMs
Chat routing, canned responses, and agent groups
Established reputation (since 2002)
LiveChat is the gold standard for human-to-human live chat. If your team is always online and you want the best agent experience, it's hard to beat. But if you need your website to help customers when your team is offline — which is 16+ hours a day for most small businesses — Otoq fills the gap that LiveChat can't.
