Great support and easy setup

PROS

Setup was incredibly easy and the support to help do so was top notch.

CONS

There's no way to have local staff ran the chat box, only remote receptionists and bots.

Reasons for switching to Smith.ai

Better integration with my overall platform, better pricing, and overall better support.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the review, Kyle! We're happy to hear your setup with us was easy!

Outstanding Option for CX Help

The team has been helpful, responsive, and has helped with everything along the way.

PROS

Smith.ai has finally allowed us a scalable and affordable way to stay staffed 24/7. We had been dealing with a large volume of chat traffic to our website during off-hours (late nights & weekends) and were missing sales leads consistently. We tried overseas options, outsourced staffing in the US, and a variety of automated options but we didn't find a solution we were happy with until Smith.ai. Smith.ai has allowed us to convert a higher number of leads, and provide a much higher level of customer satisfaction. Would highly recommend to any team looking to increase response times and convert more leads.

CONS

It took some time to set up the Q&A portion initially, but it was well worth it.

Reasons for switching to Smith.ai

We wanted to have live responses at any time of day aside from just automated bot responses. Smith.ai was the only option that we found that makes this possible at a reasonable rate.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your review, RJ! We're more than happy to help increase your response time and convert a higher number of your web leads!

Avoid Smith.Ai

PROS

I cant think of any positive experience. We used them as a last resort because the service was so terrible.

CONS

Dealing with administration was impossible to get anything. You go in circles dealing with different individuals. When its time to cancel all the reps do is make offers for you to stay, when you eventually cancel they continually charge your credit card. I am not fighting with them for 6 months of overages and they will only refund 2 months. I now have to dispute the charges with my CC. Should be an easy win on my part since I have emails going back to the cancel date.

Smith.ai Website Chat- Highly Recommended

In our tech service business, people are looking for help at any time of the day or night and want immediate answers. Using website chat is like having someone on staff 24/7 . We no longer have to worry about lost leads or misdirected requests because we were not able to offer an immediate response. When choosing a chat service, we were drawn to Smith.ai by their very simple, transparent pricing structure and the no-obligation free trial. We had our chat running in literally minutes providing very human like responses to client inquiries. Smith.ai Website Chat has exceeded our expectations responding to new leads, 24 hours a day.

PROS

Before we started using website chat, we were consuming valuable personnel resources by responding to inquiries that were not applicable to our business or not in the area of our expertise. Using website chat frees our staff by automatically handling the client inquiry and gathering necessary information if a callback is required.

CONS

No negatives. The experience has been extremely positive.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the positive review of our live chat, Jerry! Now that we are 24/5 we're here to capture any inquiries that come in, day or night, and Chatbot can help pick up the rest. We're also glad you appreciate the free 10 chat trial! Let us know if we can help with anything else. Best, Smith.ai Team

Chatbot for website

The chatbot makes it easy for clients to get information without calling. It makes it faster for them and makes it less costly for us.

PROS

The chatbot is easy to configure and works well. I use it on my websites for new clients to get information about what we do. It also allows existing clients to reach out if they need to schedule an appointment. The ability to also have the chatbot staffed is very nice so that prospective clients can receive the excellent customer service from Smith.AI that they would get if they called in via phone.

CONS

I cannot think of any cons. With any product you have to weigh the pros and cons of cost(if you want a staffed option) and implementation. Given the importance of potential new clients and existing clients needed to get information quick I think this is a no brainer.

Reason for choosing Smith.ai

I chose the free AI chatbot fro Smith.AI because they have a proven track record when it comes to implementing products and providing excellent customer service. The team at Smith is the best.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the positive review, Josh! We're thrilled you're having such a good experience with our Chatbot. We can also help set up the widget and build out a Q&A and Playbook for Chatbot too! Best, Smith.ai Team Let us know if we can help with that or anythi
