What's the best live chat tool for websites?

I am using the Drift free plan and am quite happy with it. I think it satisfies all your requirements (except maybe for specific support tickets).

Drift has been pretty solid. I am still on the free plan, but considering the paid version.

Chaport is a beautiful, simple live chat, with premium quality and affordable price. It has the Forever Free Plan for 5 operators and beautiful apps for Mac, Windows, Web, iOS & Android. You can integrate Chaport with 750+ apps using Zapier or its API.

Great product + generous free tier. Disclosure: I work with the team on launch and marketing.

You could try out Interakt, it's more like Intercom only and meets your requirements of Auto Pop-ups, multi-agent collaboration, integrated support system, automated lead capture. It has some more cool apps you could use too. Hope it helps.. :)

In addition to the others listed, I'd add UserEngage to the list. They've got a lot of 'me too' features, but it makes it a full stack for live chat AND marketing automation.

For simple chat - if you use Slack

We use this for our needs, and it's super-cool, it gives a lot of opportunities

I've lately been using ConvertFox and I'm pretty impressed!

After trying out a dozen live chat options and failing miserably, I finally settled for ProProfs Chat. It only requires a simple “copy-paste” on a page where you intend to have the chat option and you are good to go. Running a flower delivery business, our job is to help our customers select the best quality flowers for different occasions. Now with ProProfs Chat, my customer support team can clearly monitor the pages that users navigate on our website that opened up possibilities for sending proactive chat invitations. And thankfully, our website engagement shot up by 5% within two weeks of installing this live chat option. Canned responses is another feature that I am encouraging these days, given how repetitive the queries can become sometimes.

Zendesk Chat (formerly Zopim) is a nice choice for offering Live Chat to your visitors. It meets all your requirements that you mentioned in the description of your question. (tickets through integration with Zendesk Support Module). Free subscription provides 1 concurrent chat and 14 days chat history but; not the triggers ('auto popup bots') & Departments ('multi-agent collaboration')

If you want to get up and running quick and cheap Tawk.to is a good solution. Of course there are some tools more powerful but this one does the basics and more.

It is an intelligent live chat powered support tool. Easy to integrate and comes with a free plan. Also, you can use custom bots along with chat in Kommunicate.
