Boei versus Rocket.Chat

Boei is a Dutch company founded in 2021 with the main focus on turning website visitors into leads. When someone makes contact through Boei they automatically become a lead. Leads can then be answered in another app or in the official apps (e.g. WhatsApp).

Boei aims to serve as the front end for customers to contact you, offering many integrations and plugins with that specific goal in mind. You can communicate through other platforms with a single button on your website.

Rocket.Chat is a SaaS and genuine Free Open Source Software platform. They are developing an impressive range of communication and collaboration solutions for a wide variety of organizations, catering to industries like financial services, healthcare, and governments.

Open Source

Rocket.Chat, being Open Source, lets you review the code yourself or contribute to the project in their GitHub Repository. Unlike most providers, Rocket.Chat holds an MIT license, granting you full ownership and control over your code, data, privacy, and security. Detailed documentation for developers is available on the Rocket.Chat website, allowing you to build upon their framework and customize integrations.

One of their core products is Team Collaboration which you can set up as a privately hosted alternative to Slack. Of course, the use case for their software highlighted here is Customer Service and Engagement.

With Rocket.Chat you can manage live chat, email, SMS, and social media channels in a single security-oriented hub. The options and features at hand are mostly limited by your imagination.
