VirtualSpirits versus POWR

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.

POWR offers a complete suite of no-code eCommerce solutions with more than 60 apps and plugins, mostly aimed at platforms like WordPress, Squarespace, and Shopify. They have apps for social media tools, form builders, surveys, popups, payment buttons, website media, and of course, live chat.

Their live chat app connects through Facebook Messenger. A Facebook page and Messenger are required for the live chat app to function. Meaning, POWR live chat is not a suitable option for businesses that do not use Facebook or have compliance requirements that conflict with Meta’s policies and reputation.

The POWR website can be difficult to navigate and find all information you need, especially regarding the live chat and its features. The customization tool for the chat widget is easy to use and offers a lot of options. However, most options are only available in the more expensive plans.

Customers of POWR are mostly small businesses. A few of them share their success stories on the POWR.io website.
