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.

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.

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 And you're right about other tools with a very outdated design.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.

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 😉 We will keep you updated on those for sure

Congrats with the launch! I'm wondering, what's the difference between your full product and Intercom or Drift?
Daniil Kopilevych
Maker
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 😉

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 😉

Nice! Are there any conversation automation features?

@olegdomansky Hi Oleg, yes we do provide chat auto messages. For website visitors you can use our Proactive Chat auto messages to invite them for a chat with you. In this case you can use a bunch of behavioral triggers, like time on the page, page URL, number of visits etc. For your registered customers you can use our Targeted Chat auto messages for on-boarding, product announcements, upselling and cross-selling. In this case you can forward any custom attributes that you collect about your customers on your side and use those attributes to set up automated campaigns. I hope this answers your question.
