Feederloop versus AcornChat

The Feederloop chat widget provides seamless video, audio, and screen-sharing calls straight from your website.

Feederloop was founded in 2021 with the goal of going beyond traditional text-based chat widgets by providing a complete audio/visual call experience while keeping customers engaged on your website.

Feederloop provides a rich feature set including:

• Audio or video chat.
• In-call or anonymous screen sharing.
• Intelligent call routing to agents and teams.
• Customers can leave voice messages when agents are unavailable.
• Replays allow your team to watch screen share sessions retroactively.
• It can be used as a stand-alone widget or integrated with other live chat software like Intercom, JivoChat, and Twak.to (more app store integrations coming soon).

Feederloop shines in customer support, onboarding, and sales by creating a seamless real-time audio/visual communication channel between companies and their customers.

AcornChat is a dedicated Live Chat integration for Slack. It is intended for companies with fewer than 15 employees. AcornChat does not have its own dashboard, all conversations are managed in your Slack workspace. If you are already a Slack power user this might be a perfect fit for you.

The app is straightforward and has one other functionality than routing all messages through Slack; you can enable the email capture function when you are not online to answer any incoming queries. Set up the chat widget and create a dedicated channel or select an existing one in Slack. A new thread is created for each visitor that contacts you, providing a clear overview.
