Trengo versus Userlike

Trengo, a Venture Capital backed scale-up from the Netherlands, has been growing at an impressive rate since their conception in 2015. They have developed an impressive customer service and engagement platform that unites all your channels and conversations on a single platform.

Trengo has a wide variety of customers, focusing on companies such as eCommerce shops, retailers, service companies, and educational organizations. Their setup enables you to efficiently scale your customer service and maintain a high-quality customer experience.

Trengo has found a clever way to include an omnichannel platform, with their automated flow- and chatbots, to man customer support channels for their customers. Their shared inbox makes it easy to assign incoming messages to colleagues or teams. They even thought of an automated fallback system so no incoming messages are left behind. Messages will always be routed to a designated agent if they are not assigned within a specified period. 

Trengo offers 3 plans, ranging from $20 to to $45 per seat per month. All plans has a minimum of 5 seats.

The lowest price is $20 per seat per month for the Grow plan, effectively starting their plans at $100 per month with 5 seats. This plan includes live chat and a team inbox for 5 communication channels (ex. WhatsApp).

The Scale plan starts at $33 per seat per month and can be easily scaled up to 100 users. This plan includes nearly all features, 50 channels, team chat, chatbots, customer satisfaction surveys, and statistics.

Add-ons are available for additional functionalities. For some add-ons you pay a fixed price per month like screen sharing and Observer. For other adds-ons the costs are based on the number of conversations like the flowbot, WhatsApp Business, and phone and SMS (prices depending on the country).

Userlike is the leading software for live chat and customer messaging in Germany. It’s a unified messaging solution that lets companies receive messages from different channels like website chat WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, SMS, and more in one central inbox. From here, all customer messages can be processed with professional service features such as message templates, live translations, and file sharing.

The software has a powerful website messenger that companies can integrate into their website and let customers choose to either have a conversation in real-time or continue it later - just like their favorite messaging apps. For complex inquiries or product demos, agents can switch from a chat to a browser-based video call and, if necessary, share their screen. That way, companies can personally guide website visitors throughout the entire buyer journey and strengthen customer relationships.

To automate customer service you can create self-learning chatbots, FAQ pages, and contact forms with Userlike’s AI Automation Hub. It is connected to an AI knowledge base and learns independently over time.

Data protection has always been a top priority at Userlike. All data is stored securely on German servers making Userlike a GDPR-compliant customer messaging solution. With its secure data infrastructure and special features, Userlike guarantees data protection and security for your customers, your employees, and your company as a whole. Userlike is suitable for all company sizes because the software is flexible and adapts to your needs and goals.

Customers of Userlike include Toyota and Nivea.
