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.

I recently implemented Get Chat on my website and I must say, I am extremely impressed with its performance. This chat widget is truly light-weight and fast responsive, making it very efficient for both me as the website owner and for my website visitors. One of the first things that caught my attention about Get Chat was its floating widget. This feature makes the widget easily visible on the page, making it convenient for visitors to seek assistance if needed. This has definitely increased the engagement on my website and has grabbed more attention from my visitors. In terms of features, Get Chat has it all. I was pleasantly surprised to see the variety of customization options available. I was able to personalize the chat widget to fit the theme and branding of my website perfectly. Additionally, the chat widget has options for agents to handle multiple chats at once, making it a more efficient tool for my customer support team. What I appreciate the most about Get Chat is its ease of use. Both for me as the website owner and for my visitors. The installation process was simple and I was able to integrate it seamlessly into my website. The chat widget interface is also user-friendly, allowing visitors to quickly start a conversation and get their queries resolved. Another great feature of Get Chat is its responsiveness. No matter what device my visitors are using, the chat widget adapts beautifully and provides a seamless experience. This has helped in increasing customer satisfaction as they can reach out for help anytime, anywhere. Overall, I highly recommend Get Chat for anyone looking for a reliable and efficient chat widget. It has definitely improved the communication on my website and has helped in increasing customer engagement. Plus, the customer support team is also very responsive and helpful. Get Chat is definitely a game changer in the online chat widget market. Give it a try and see the difference for yourself!

Perfectly simple to install and set up, a much-needed plugin for a small business.

This is a great app very minimal cost but can be the difference between getting that extra sale and losing out…The fact that potential customers can easily get a message directly to your phone and you can answer their question right away is the epitome of customer service for the new age. 5 out of 5

Sehr gutes PlugIn. Einfach in der Einrichtung und alles funktioniert wie man es erwartet. Funktioniert natürlich nur für WhatsApp-User. Für die Desktop-Nutzung muss man WhatsApp installieren und per QRCode in seinem Account freigeben. Aber das muss man ja eh, wenn man WhatsApp z.B. inter Windows nutzen möchte.

I’ve tried a few similar plug-in, but the configuration is nice and easy on this one and it does what it says on the tin. Enough configuration options exist to make it look the way I want, and control over the way it appears. Whilst this is an early version, I’m expecting it to continue to improve and is from a trusted developer, so feel confident it having it up and running.

Fast and easy to configure, looks great, allows lightweight chat function on my website! Would love shortcode/hook feature to place button anywhere I like 🙂
