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.”

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

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

“Free plan is actually free. Unlimited live chat, no conversation cap, no ad slapped on the widget.”

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