How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    This plugin doesn’t allow you to hide the widget on certain pages. It’s just full site or nothing. There are no controls.

    This is one of those few companies where their software does what you were hoping it would. Their customer support has been excellent to say the least. You can’t go wrong with Chatlio! Seriously. This topic was modified 7 years, 4 months ago by dmillersg77.

    I’ve been using Chatlio for over a year now; it allows for you to chat with your website visitors directly from Slack. It works great, and I can highly recommend if you are an existing Slack user.
