WhosOn versus Trengo

WhosOn, by Parker Sofware, originally one of the first website visitor analytics tools, has been a major player in the live chat business since 2003.

WhosOn defines itself as a specialist for niche projects, while still offering a robust out of the box chat service. They have the possibility for cloud-based, on-premise, or hybrid deployment.

All their plans include a multitude of features and integration options. They also offer paid options like an AI chatbot, remote desktop control, and real-time, two-way translation in 100 languages.

Their most simple plan starts at $33 per month for one agent. A 30 days free trial is available.

Customers of WhosOn include First International Bank & Trust, Harvard University, and Thomas Cook.

Trengo, a VC backed scale-up from the Netherlands has been growing at an impressive rate. They have been around since 2015.

Trengo describes their product as Smart Conversations Platform. A clever way to include their omnichannel chat products, combined with their automated chatbots, to man customer support channels for their customers.

Their platform is priced per agent, and the price per agent increases when more functionality or features are required.

The lowest price per agent is $15 and the minimum requirement is 2 agents to set up your account.

Notable customers of Trengo include Toyota, Nubikk and Rotterdam University
