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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

Reviewer account pattern

from wp.org reviewer profiles

22 of the last 25 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review, and 8 of those landed between 2025-05-02 and 2025-05-15.

Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

    I loved how LiveAgent enabled us to have a unified dashboard that simplifies task tracking and prioritization, and improves coordination across our team, ensuring prompt responses. Accurate documentation also allows our customers to track their requests transparently and easily. I loved the ease of searching through previous customer inquiries, as well as the ease of setting up and updating automated responses to frequently asked questions for the service bot.

    LiveAgent has a very impressive user interface, and a simple glance helps you prioritize responses. We haven’t encountered any security issues with our LiveAgent account, which is great news and we appreciate it. LiveAgent’s pricing is also very competitive. It’s also great that it can handle all customer support communications, providing fast and reliable support. It also allows any team to set up a chat and auto-redirect system to enhance customer service at all times. This topic was modified 1 year, 2 months ago by morangeckt.

    I was impressed by all of LiveAgent’s features, which enable optimal multi-channel support, all from a single dashboard. LiveAgent ensures 24/7 automated chat, and its accurate ticket documentation and response times protect everyone’s rights. The reports LiveAgent provides are highly advanced and display metrics that truly reflect the level of service. It’s also great that it works as an effective catcher when combined with social media, never missing an opportunity and actively engaging visitors to our pages.

    The best thing about LiveAgent is that it’s always available. I can follow up on new tickets and answer them, or ask a colleague to help me answer them. Referring to colleagues is very easy. LiveAgent provides us with an excellent chatbot that enables us to meet all customer needs.

    LiveAgent offers amazing improvements to all our customer service and marketing needs. It’s great that it allows us to maintain continuity of customer service by responding to live calls or chats from a single center. I love how incoming tickets are neatly displayed on the dashboard, so we can respond to them according to priority without delay. I love the amount of important data LiveAgent collects about our actual activity, and the statistics and graphs that reflect the effectiveness of our workflow. I love how the collaboration options give us ample room to streamline many tasks and formulate better responses. It’s great that the alerts are always consistent and enable us to complete tasks on time.

    We’ve been using LiveAgent for over two years now, and I can honestly say it has been a game-changer for our customer service operations. From the seamless integration with multiple channels (email, live chat, social media, etc.) to the intuitive interface, LiveAgent has simplified communication with our customers in ways we didn’t think possible. The ability to handle everything from one dashboard has saved us time and increased our efficiency. Whether it’s organizing tickets, tracking customer issues, or providing fast responses, LiveAgent makes it easy to stay on top of it all. We especially appreciate the customizations—being able to tailor the platform to fit our unique needs has made it even more valuable. What stands out the most is their exceptional customer support. Any time we’ve had a question or needed assistance, their team has been quick, professional, and helpful.
