What is Drift?


Founded in 2015, Drift currently employs over 500 people, their growth has been impressive.

Drift started out with a simple chat widget, but offers full sales, marketing, and support suites tailored to the specific needs of different types of customers.

Drift has many large customers, but does its best to support smaller companies by allowing startups to go through a vetting process for reduced prices.

What is OpenWidget?


OpenWidget is a free eCommerce widget launched in November 2022 by LiveChat.inc. It is not a real-time live chat but has 4 important features.

  • Contact form (email)
  • Product cards to promote deals
  • FAQ section
  • Widget customization

It is easy to set up but offers limited customization options, as can be expected for such a free tool. There is no option to upload images, they have to be linked to a URL. All changes are applied to the widget on your website in real time without the need to replace the script.

It has plugins for popular eCommerce platforms like:

  • BigCommerce
  • Google Tag Manager
  • OpenCart
  • Shopify
  • Squarespace
  • Woocommerce
  • WordPress
