Talkable 2026: Benefits, Features & Pricing

Software Advice offers objective insights based on verified user reviews and independent product and market research. When our advisors match you to a software provider, we may earn a referral fee.

How Software Advice ensures transparency

Software Advice lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. Users can talk to our advisors for free to receive software recommendations matching their needs. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to reach users interested in their products.

How Software Advice verifies reviews

Software Advice carefully verified over 2 million reviews to bring you authentic software experiences from real users. Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

Independent research methodology

Researchers at Software Advice use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or talk to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.

    Feels like we have extra teammates

    We have had a great experience with Talkable and consider them an invaluable partner in increasing our engagement and acquisition. Our dynamic duo of reps [sensitive content hidden] has remained the same throughout my tenure and they are extremely capable, friendly, and seem to have a true desire to maximize our success with their offerings. I'm impressed by what they bring to our biweekly meetings, their presentations, and their flawless follow-up.

    Pros:
    What I like most about Talkable are our dynamic duo of reps that are constantly pushing us to test, refine, explore, and roll out a seemingly ever-evolving set of initiatives that help garner new subscribers and opt ins through referrals. This is not a set it and forget it company for us, they are our partners in maximizing engagement and acquisition.
    Cons:
    I will not say that I love the interface design. It does everything very well but there is a little bit of a daunting look and feel about the interface that took some getting used to. It's very high functioning and doesn't bug out or anything but it is just not the most intuitive or beautiful interface design.

    For a brand that cannot/does not want to be very promotional, I think the tool worked well. However, it would shine for a retailer that has a deep product assortment and a wide range of price points.

    Pros:
    From start to finish, the process was very simple to implement. It's honestly one of the only products I've ever encountered where I've been told it's only a couple of hours to implement, and it was actually only a couple of hours. The UI for the tool is very intuitive, and the WYSIWYG tool is very easy to use. The emails and onsite widgets are pretty customizable, and a non-developer should be able to do most of the updates. The implementation and ongoing support team at Talkable are HIGHLY responsive and proactive. They work with you to tailor a program that is right for your business. I would totally recommend this software to anyone.

    Despite my frustrations with the user dashboard, the client support we receive is exceptional. We have limited bandwidth across our team to manage this channel and our client service team does an excellent job bridging that gap, reporting, bringing new ideas to the table, and helping us execute.
