Chatwoot

Chatwoot is an open source customer support platform that unifies live chat, email, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, and LINE into a single agent inbox, positioning itself as an alternative to Intercom and Zendesk. It pairs the omnichannel inbox with a customizable knowledge base, so customers can self-serve before ever reaching an agent. Chatwoot layers AI on top with Captain, an assistant that learns from your help center and past conversations to automate responses, and Captain Copilot, which suggests answers and surfaces relevant history to human agents in real time. The core product is open source and self-hostable, with a managed cloud version and SOC 2 Type II compliance for teams that don't want to run their own infrastructure.

Typebot

Typebot is a no-code chatbot builder that lets teams design conversational flows with a visual drag-and-drop editor made up of more than 45 building blocks. Bots can collect leads, answer support questions, or replace static web forms, and can be deployed on a website, as an embedded popup, over WhatsApp, or through raw HTTP requests. The platform is 100% open source, so it can be self-hosted or used as a managed SaaS, and it connects to OpenAI, Google Sheets, Zapier, Google Analytics, and Meta Pixel out of the box. Real-time analytics track completion rates and drop-off points, and hidden fields allow bots to segment users based on prior answers or URL parameters.

Chatra

Chatra is a live chat and messaging tool trusted by 45,000+ businesses and webstores, combining real-time website chat with email and social channels (Instagram, Facebook) in one dashboard. It offers a genuinely free tier for a single agent, making it accessible to very small businesses before they need to scale to paid plans. Beyond chat, Chatra includes real-time visitor tracking, an AI chatbot for FAQs and lead qualification, mobile apps for on-the-go replies, and an asynchronous 'Messenger mode' so conversations can continue even when no agent is online.
