Testimonials

Loved by US support teams.

Honest quotes from teams who switched to FloatChat.

“We moved off Intercom in a weekend. The migration was free and Captain was answering tickets by Monday morning.”

Head of Support · Lumen Co.

“Per-seat pricing was killing us. Capacity pricing means I stopped flinching every time we onboard a new agent.”

Marcus Williams

Director of CX · NorthBound

“Voice and SMS in one inbox, no Twilio glue code. Our team picks up calls from the same screen they answer chat.”

Ashley Rodriguez

Tyler Brooks

Founder · Drift Coffee Co.

“AI replies cost a flat $9.99 — not $0.99 per resolution. Predictable bill at the end of every month.”

Common questions

Pricing, migration, accuracy — straight answers.

We bundle AI on every paid plan from $9.99 instead of charging per resolution. Voice and SMS are native (no Twilio markup). Pricing scales by capacity, not per-seat, so adding agents doesn't blow up your bill.
