Very good chat solution

It was really good, only used he paid version during the trial period but then I kept using the free version,

PROS

They have a free version of the software that has enough functionality to allow a SMB to use it on their site to do customer support. Really easy to integrate through Google Tag manager making it simple even if you don't have technical knowledge. Also allows you to setup business hours and then has a log. Also it has a mobile app.

CONS

On the free version only one user is allowed at the same time and also it lack a lot of integrations with other tools. In the case they leave you missed messages the interface could be better.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the feedback, Pedro!

Chatra helps you connect with buyers

PROS

I've tried lots of chat systems for our website and client websites. Chatra is perfect for Shopify stores and makes it so easy to respond to questions. The free version is great for most small businesses but if you get the paid you can actually be more strategic. I also love that it has desktop notifications.

CONS

I had issues with my login and connections to shopify and somehow had two accounts setup. If you run multiple stores it can be confusing as it auto logs in. Once it was cleared up it worked fine.

Reasons for switching to Chatra

At the time I wanted a desktop notification app and Chatra had that feature.

Excellent chat for your startup !

A good chat for our startup at good price!

PROS

Is very fast, easy to use and the managing dashboard is really good. We have been using it for almost 2 years. Also, it works perfectly on mobile which is good for our business and our users. The customer support also is very responsive. We feel like is a team working really hard on improve every month the product.

CONS

The API could be a little bit better. They should let technological teams mold better the size of the things or customize some stuff. They also should offer different plan prices.

A great Chat tool for Startups and small companies

If you´re a startup or small company looking to provide a great customer service without wanting to pay ridiculous fees like Intercom, this is the way to go.

PROS

Plenty of functionalities at a very good value. Probably the best value in the market. It has enough intelligence for our customer service to be world class

CONS

Maybe not having as many integrations and services like Intercom would have but I guess the price difference very well makes up for it

User-friendly livechat!

Exceptional, our customer service would be remiss without it.

PROS

I run a small business, and Chatra's free plan was a perfect fit for us. On the free plan, it only offers a single agent for customer chats but this has been more than enough for us. The chat interface is clean and consistent with the design of our website. And I find the ability to reply to customers on any platform and easily add new users to our email list really helpful.

CONS

I can't think of anything at the moment.

Chatra features have helped connect our customers with our store

My experience has been nothing but positive. I feel fortunate to have found and installed Chatra and can't imagine getting by without it

PROS

I loved all of the free trial features I had access to initially and feel that they are certainly worthwhile. Using the free plan, I miss having access to all of the data on our site's visitors at my fingertips but we benefit significantly nonetheless. I am still excited about the improved accessibility that our customers and visitors to our site feel thanks to Chatra. Our webstore caters to a personalized experience and authentic connections between our store's services and our customers. I found it easy to install and have had a seamless experience ever since. The auto-responses are totally customizable which I appreciate and I really find the setting of store hours to be helpful as well.

CONS

i wish all of the features were free but of course that is unrealistic and certainly the developers of this great product deserve to be compensated for their hard work!

Live chat with your customers easily!

The LiveChat feature has allowed me to answer any concerns a customer has almost immediately from anywhere in the world and by doing so, I have noticed my sales have increased since adding Chatra.

PROS

I have an online business where I sell crafts I made on Etsy, as well as my own personal website. While I can not use Chatra on Etsy I do use it on my website. Chatra makes it simple to connect with customers who have questions or specific requests by allowing you to chat with them online in real time in a live chat. All you have to do is add the code to the footer of your designated webpage and that's all there is to it. You now have a live chat and will be able to communicate with your customers automatically. It is free and simple to use and I have found it has helped my customer service rating improve from 4.5 to 4.9/5.0.

CONS

Sometimes the chat can lag and it may make you appear unprofessional if your customer doesn't realize that the lag is not on your end, but the software itself.

Chatra is Great for Small Business Use

With many similar products available to choose from, I had to focus on a few points that I felt were important to me and my business. First, was the ability to engage in more then one chat at a time on the free package. I wanted the ability to deliver a first class service through a chat facility, and I felt that not being able to respond to more than one person at a time would mean that I could never really deliver a top response time. Chatra was the only one I could find that offered multiple simultaneous chats on their free package after their trial period ran out. This is so that if ever my paid subscription lapsed then my client help services wouldn't be affected. Second, time is precious for entrepreneurs like myself, so the quicker we can learn something new the better. I found the Chatra management interface extremely intuitive with plenty of good & clear help guides. To 'test' the chat interface before making it live on my company's website, I contacted Chatra through their own help chat box. I was pleasantly surprised at the speed of their response and the professionalism of their replies. Following that chat test, I went live with Chatra for my business and never looked back. Since going live, I've had plenty of fantastic conversations with potential & existing clients and they always pleased with the speed of answers and ease of speaking to us than had they had contacted us via e-mail. I highly recommend them for anyone considering to add such an application to their website.

PROS

Simplicity of use for myself and the people contacting me.

CONS

None that I can think of - it ticks all of my current requirements.

Thank you, David!

Great user experience on both sides

Overall I'm really pleased with the app so far. It made it easier to connect with potential clients and help them out. Already on the first day, we had the Chatra app to thank for enabling a user to notify us of a technical problem and give us an idea for a future feature update.

PROS

Chatra has a very polished design. Both the chat widget and the admin dashboard are easy to navigate and use. The set-up was a breeze and the mobile apps make it easy to keep on top of all incoming messages. The automatic triggers (currently in paid version only) add nice extra functionality for increasing engagement and conversions.

CONS

The chat button position options are very limited (all corners and middle of left/side/bottom edges of the screen). The position you choose will be applied to both desktop and mobile view, which is not ideal, as these designs have often different layouts. Ideally one should be able to set the widget's position on the desktop and mobile views separately.

Reason for choosing Chatra

Design of the app and dashboard. Ease of use. Free forever plan, with an option to upgrade later.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the review, Ewa! We have a custom code that allows you to change the position of the mobile button without affecting the desktop view. Chat with us on our website or send us an email to support@chatra.io, and we'll give you the code.

Alreaady great and getting better.

Chatra is a great choice for online chat, I am sure you will love it. Is it worth it? Absolutely. Is it better than competition? In many ways yes, but they are also different. Chatra is definitely one of the top choices. Add it to your shortlist, give it a try and then decide. My vote went for Chatra, leaving others behind. Are there any cons to consider? Yes, your competition will likely add Chatra to their website as well. Seriously.

PROS

Easy to use; Features like no other product; Cost effective; Easy to install and manage; It just works.

CONS

Lacks html support in messages; Limited languages supported; No time triggers for proactive chats.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the feedback, Davids! In the future we plan to add HTML support and also API that will allow you to translate the widget into different languages on your side, so stay tuned! As for the time triggers - it's already possible to connect proactive chat invitations to the time spent on current page or on website. Or do you mean anything else?

Tried Drift and other first before Chatra and I was blown away with the quality

We are using Chatra to easily communicate with the customers on Sprintbooks.co — we suggest various notebook layouts on the home page, but we then have a call to action to chat with us if they are still unsure which notebook would be best. Chatra ticks all the boxes for our sales pipeline.

PROS

It's super simple and easy to use, without confusing dashboards and clutter or features you don't use.

CONS

I literally can't think of anything I would change or do better.

Reason for choosing Chatra

Minimalist, simple, easy to use, zero learning curve, exactly the features you want and none you don't. API support too, so the front-end devs are happy — what else can we say!

Reasons for switching to Chatra

Drift is bloated and expensive

Best Chat App Around!

Chatra was a simple install and very easy to customize to match our theme. Best of all, it converts 99% of our (chat) visitors into customers. When a visitor can chat directly and instantly with us about a question, it's an opportunity for us to meet their needs in real time. They are more confident doing business with us because there is a level of trust they experience while speaking with someone directly. To be able to see what user is typing before they hit send, helps us to respond quickly and efficiently. We love the fact that it works just as well on mobile, and we can answer questions on the go! The personal service we receive from Yaakov is exceptional. Highly recommend!

Easy to use and modern chat agent

This is very good software that continuously improves with time. It would be great to have Tags and Statuses for easier tracking and tagging of chat requests. One more option that I am looking for in near future is FAQ section within chat agent.

PROS

This software looks great and it is very easy to use. Their mobile app is also very nice and can completely replace web version - all functionalities are accessible through mobile app.

CONS

It is not very easy to find some old conversations and to search by status. There is no way to restrict what each chat agent is allowed to see. Everyone is able to see everything.

great for instant communication with customers

Excellent app, paid for itself within a couple of days. Helping customers through checkout in particular is great. Also seeing what they are typing before they send helps save time in replying, their location is visible - also very helpful in anticipating questions. Switched from another chat service to Chatra due mainly to its deep integration with Help Scout - chats and offline messages are added into Help Scout as new support tickets, giving us a full picture of customer support. So far we're loving Chatra! With native desktop and mobile apps, our team is able to help customers with their orders or product enquiries anywhere. Probably my most valuable app.
