LiveChat versus VirtualSpirits

LiveChat, originally from Poland, has been in the online customer service software business since 2002, being one the first companies to provide a live chat function to websites. Much like Google, Limousine, and Xerox, their brand name has become a synonym for the product.

As one of the largest liver chat providers, they offer a large number of app integrations and customization possibilities, ranging from CRM to e-commerce and help desk software. LiveChat has a substantial customer base of more than 37,000 companies worldwide.

The Virtual Spirits website offers limited information about the features and integrations of their live chat. The main focus is on self-learning chatbot AI.

The unique selling point of Virtual Spirits is their Chatbot Experts Service. A personal account manager will help create, manage, and optimize your chatbot to have it tailored to your business. They also offer 100+ chatbot templates targeted at specific industries.

Their plans start at $9 for one agent and up to 200 visitors per month. A 30 days free trial is available for this plan. The trial can be continued as a free plan with basic functionality.

Customers of Virtual Spirits include mostly smaller and local businesses like Canteen, Finotec, and Golden Glove Movers.
