Prices are the monthly rate where the vendor publishes one, and are marked where only an annual rate is shown. "Not listed" means the vendor's own pricing page does not state it, not that the product cannot do it. Read on 18 October 2026; prices are theirs to change. What Smart Chat is, against Tidio, Intercom, LiveChat, Crisp, Tawk.to.
ONE LINE OF CODE
Smart Chat goes on the site you already have: one script tag, the way you would paste a Google Maps widget. It runs on plain HTML, on WordPress with no plugin, on Wix, Squarespace and Shopify, and on anything else that accepts a script tag. Send us the address and we set it up from your existing pages.
TRY IT HERE
The chat in the corner is the one you would be buying. On a computer you can ask it anything; on a phone this page asks for your number, while on your own site it books the appointment there and then.
