Read the following to understand more about Userlike and why it is a great alternative to LiveChat



1.A Powerful Tool

Userlike has a more affordable price per operator than LiveChatInc. During the development of Userlike we took into account the needs of small and medium sized business as well as the demanding requirements of corporations. Then, we combined a set of features to support any kind of need and adapted into different plans, allowing you to start from the basics and grow your business with us.

Even though Userlike includes some complex elements to fulfil your highest expectations, the use is straightforward. Anyone, no matter their technologic savviness, can use Userlike to support their customers. Our minimalism in design and navigation also means that busy operators will lose no time looking for something and are able to instantly send to customers everything they need, in a matter of seconds.


2. Integrates with your other Business Software

We know how important it is for your different business solutions to be able to communicate with one another, taking information wherever it is needed. Userlike can be integrated with dozens of different CRM, helpdesk and other business solutions that you use everyday to provide support, make sales or develop. You can send chat documentation to Salesforce or Zendesk, for example, or create a dedicated channel in Slack for your chat interactions.

With our integrations you are able to send chat transcripts, user information and other data from the chat panel or message overview into your software, automatically or by clicking in one single button. This action will send the information and store it accordingly in your end software for further follow-up.

Also, you are more than welcome to use our API to configure and personalise custom-made integrations to other software or services you use. Take a look at our dedicated tutorial for more information about it.


3. The Professional Looks

Userlike has been widely recommended and positively reviewed by customers regarding its lean design. We have designed our widgets, the combination of live chat button and live chat window, to be as minimalistic yet as professional as possible. This combination ensures that the live chat widget becomes a part of your website and service, and not a disruptive and distracting element.

From our widget editor you can personalise how you want your live chat widget to look like. From its colours, to the layout, position of the chat button, the wording of headlines, custom messages, to social media buttons.

Furthermore, you can also customise the way the chat is triggered and how it behaves during visitor interactions, all this form the widget editor and without having to know anything about coding. Chats can be triggered normally after clicking, but also proactively inviting guests to a chat with different benefits for your business.


4. The Intelligent Chat Delegation System

When a customer approaches you via live chat, it's very important that you respond to him in a timely, professional manner and with a meaningful answer. Those are the requirements you need to establish to your support team.

From our side, we took the elements that make a service efficient and drove it into our own chat routing logic, to guarantee that from the available operators the chat will always be handled by the one with better conditions to provide good service. Chat delegations are based on the following ruling system:

  • After a new visitor clicks the live chat button, he will be immediately connected to an available operator, the one with the fewest chats at that moment.
  • Our round robin system is developed to guarantee that incoming chats are evenly distributed among operators over time.
  • The past experience of the user is taken into account. In this case, if the operator which served him last time is available, the user will be linked to this same operator.

5. Data Privacy and Safety Standards

Userlike is based in Germany, Europe, where data privacy restrictions are tighter. In order to comply with all-around-the-world requirements we have enabled the possibility to avoid the collection of personal data from your users, as well as geolocation and other personal preferences and information. This (useful) information can still be collected from authorised countries outside EU, according to your own policies.

As for safety and protection of your data, Userlike offer SSL protocols in all our paid and free plans. You can check more information about this in our dedicated article .
