So many little engagement widgets in one thing!
Great! I know that site visitors coming to my site want to get their information immediately, as well as possibly get in touch, so this meets all of their needs.
PROSI couldn't have imagined this myself. What a great, innovative piece of software! I was looking for something to replace my tawk.to chat tool, and found this. It so smoothly gives my site visitors exactly what they need immediately, it's almost divine! I am greatly excited about the uses of this tool once my site gets more traffic.
CONSReally, there's nothing to dislike about it. I am impressed and pleased with the tool.
Reasons for switching to BirdSeed
I didn't like that tawk.to had their branding on the chatbox and was looking for a replacement.
Vendor Response

What a great sales/support tool for your site
Easy to setup and install on your website. So far it has been a cool addition to my website.
PROSLove the knowledge base and video features. The tool does a great job of giving you a support dashboard/chat bubble for your site.
CONSWish it had more native integrations with other applications. It does have Zapier ($$$) which helps, but it is still limiting.
Reasons for switching to BirdSeed
I haven’t switched completely, gist is great, using birdseed as an additional tool to help warm leads up before contacting them.
Vendor Response
Thank you SO much Dustin!! Reviews like this mean the world to us! We will continue to hopefully add additional lead conversion value in the future.

Nice all in one platform!
I loved that I would allow me to add a chat function to my site that I could customize to send clients to different places. Being able to schedule meetings directly in the chat was really nice. There are lots of helpful tools to help you connect with and direct customers.
CONSIt seemed a bit glitchy when I first started to use it. The chats wouldn't load or I wouldn't get notifications for the chats, which defeats the purpose. I would love if this integrated with something like Slack and even messenger to have a unified chat inbox.
Vendor Response
Thank you so much for your review! We are in the process of making substantial updates to our live chat tool and would love it if you check it out in about 10 days. Regarding notifications for the chats and getting notified in Slack, I would be happy to help you get those setup in minutes! You also are able to add in FB Messenger and I can show you how to do that as well. If you could open a ticket by emailing Support@birdseed.io, we will get those sorted out for you very quickly!

Keep potential and current clients engaged and up to date - even if you're unavailable.
Normal chatbots are very basic, offering simple back and forth text discussions. BirdSeed expands on this, offering a large selection of ways to connect with customers, cut down on admin tasks and provide specific call to actions. I have used Birdseed to allow potential clents to schedule meetings without going back and forth over email or chat, and provided an FAQ system where users can find answers to common questions themselves. I have also displayed a latest video on the app which got a number of positive comments. I don't use BirdSeed to its full potential, but only using a few of the features it offers saves a large amount of time (and I believe gives more satisfied customers). While I'm using the paid offering, the free solution is suitable for many businesses and is far more feature rich then alternatives. I found BirdSeed easy to set up and maintain.
CONSIn the past there were a few instances where the widget seemed slow to load, but this hasn't been an issue for some time (8 months plus).
Reason for choosing BirdSeed
The range of what BirdSeed offered.

Love this App
Overall I have had a great experience with increase customer time on my sites, better engagement and much more professional looking layout in a easy to find tool.
PROSThis app can do so many things and is all inside the popup. Not only can you use video to connect with clients on any level you decide ( For FAQ questions, For Demo etc. ) but also Live chat and email. It offers more that I have not used as of yet.
CONSReally no major cons. Sure a few minor technical issues due to so many different themes being used but all are taken care of fast. The developer is hands on and very responsive.

Perfect agent for small businesses
It's a good tool and filled a lot of holes in our marketing. Especially the livechat and call request I do recommend if you want something you can use right away and know what you want
PROSBirdseed saved me a lot of time and energy when interfacing with my clients and potential ones too. It's features are actually unique compared to what's on the market The tools are well thought out and covers a lot of use cases you would combine in several other applications
CONSIntegrations are still missing and can be optimized a bit. They have zapier but it's a bit slow. Not enough native integrations. It would nice if they have a few like slack and autoresponders
Reason for choosing BirdSeed
It has more features right from the box. Even the free plan is way better and not too restrictive and it's affordable
Vendor Response
Hello Craige!! Thank you so much for your review. We appreciate that you find our offering unique as that is exactly why we built something we felt was different and needed.. we also wanted something that would work for all businesses looking to better engage website visitors and allow them to "take their next right step" in the process of becoming an excited customer! We are still working on ways to improve the integration process as we know that easily connecting to other products is very important for businesses to complete the loop of responding to their leads. Thank again!

If you hate bots and want a simple tool for Leads, this is it.
Overall is a great tool. I like it and it works. Would be better to have a ground integration with different CRMs out there. Also will be great to have more native tools like Whatsapp and Messenger. By all means, it works fine and specially if you hate bots like me.
PROSI love the granularity of having 12+ tools under the same roof. The UX inside and for the customer, are great an needs to mention. Is simple, and deployment is awesomely fast.
CONSI like the app to work on autopilot. The Chat can work better in iOS app when someone ring the bell. I say it needs more work in integrations, not zapier i mean. Specially to CRMs like Keap that can send automatic e-mails in case of an emergency.

I wrote a harsh review -- and now my tail is between my legs because it was ME that was the problem!
Overall, it's a good app
PROSMost: the commitment to the customer experience of the founder Next up: the options for engagement with website visitors
CONSI was confused when I first installed it as a fairly new app -- parts weren't working -- now this was a LONG time ago and when I left it for a while to become more mature, I went in with the same attitude. Unfortunately, it was I who was the problem. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] walked me through my "issues" and now it's working as I expected.

Interact Easily with your Prospects and Boost your LeadGen
We are testing this app with one of our sites, and it's working like a charm. We started the test about 3 months ago, and I saw an increase of 38% in lead gen, since we can engage with our customers at breakneck speed. This app allows us to use videos, pro-active actions, even have a FAQ within the widget. It's a total of 12 tools and you can enable/disable depending on your use case. It's a very good tool for lead gen, and quite unique. They have a very good free plan, so go ahead and test it!
CONSIt's an awesome app, can't say I found something that bother us.
Vendor Response
I can't thank you enough for this review!! It means a great deal when someone has spent time with our app to see the value experienced when combining our tools to work together to increase lead generation! We have even more in the works and doing everything we can to get better every day! Thank you again!

Weird Name, Great Software!
Everyone's familiar with Intercom, some people know about the other services that are common (Olark, Gist, etc.) but Birdseed should be at the top of your stack for website support programs. It isn't just a chat, it has integrated newsletter signups, call requests, knowledge base, videos, so many features and integrations. If it isn't in this suite you probably don't even need it.
CONSIt doesn't have a steep learning curve but it does take a minute to try to figure everything out. Typical though when a service has so many features.

Truely amazing tool for lead capturing and knowledge base
Collecting leads have become easy after installing birdseed on my site. Popup were annoying my users but now with birdseed changed everything.
PROSHaving 12 tools in one app is just great. Right lead generation to knowledge base everything is present in one app and integrating it to my site was just so easy it just took 2 mins to add birdseed to my site. All you need is to paste the java script code into the site. You can later add or delete the tools in the birdseed dashboard. Setting up the tools is also easy which can be done is few clicks. I never had problems with birdseed or faced any bugs it the platform till date. This is a very good software for capturing leads. The best part is it is free forever. Until you need advanced features. The free plan is sufficient for most the small business owners .
CONSRight now I can't point out any cons in the platform they have given everything for free which is just amazing.
