Chose Smith.ai
I have priced services with Ngage and Apex Chat. Smith.ai is more cost-efficient than these competitors.

Most services charge a very high per qualified lead basis. Sometimes $35 or higher per lead. Considering that not all qualified leads convert, client acquisition costs can …

Came down to pricing. Smith.ai Live Website Chat did not have the same level of customization and support as other alternatives but there are enough customization and tools that it was clear it would solve the problems and at a good price.
Chose Smith.ai
  1. Better support in setting up.
  2. Better service now that I'm using their system.
  3. Very professional sales team talking and chatting with my prospects.
Chose Smith.ai
We use the Smith.ai Receptionist services. We selected website chat after having a conversation with our account manager who explained the features. We started off with a free trial, but when we saw how many visitors actually use the chat feature and how many relevant chats we …
Chose Smith.ai
We have tried a number of free and annual price chat solutions on the website but this is the first one that is great on mobile devices and intelligent enough to match questions to answers. This has been a hidden gem in delivering new client leads with a lead to client close …

  • Ruby Receptionist - Used it for 1 year. Poor service, not as many features. Smith.ai is light years beyond Ruby.
  • Back Office Betties - Investigated, did not use, mainly because Smith offered 24/7 service and way more chat and text options.
  • Various Virtual Office Services that …
Chose Smith.ai
I have not used other chat services. I use Smith.ai Receptionists and that service from Smith.ai has been flawless, so I went with them for chat as well.
Chose Smith.ai
Quick turn around in providing our office a transcript of the chat. Easy set up for automatic responses.

Their chat monitoring is useful to anyone who wants to provide fast communication to prospects. I see so many companies with horrible response times for their chats. They are very professional and helped me create scripts that help them convert more leads. It is basically a virtual sales team. Their phone service saves companies time on wasted calls and fills in when they can't answer the phone. They say that over 50% of leads are never followed up because of a poor phone strategy. Smith.ai Live Website Chat fixes this

Usability
Smith.ai Live Website Chat allows you to provide a script for when they answer prospective clients. The script is customizable as your needs change. However, the script only goes so far, as they do not know your business personally. Once they do go through that script, they send you an email with the caller's contact information so you can reach out personally if they seem interested. They do so with efficiency.

Smith.ai pays for itself if we can help one site visitor move down our lead funnel to being a client. We have averaged over 50+ new leads each month since implementing the chat and with a close rate for becoming new clients that is double what our advertising PPC new client closing rate has been.

I have priced services with Ngage and Apex Chat. Smith.ai is more cost-efficient than these competitors. Most services charge a very high per qualified lead basis. Sometimes $35 or higher per lead. Considering that not all qualified leads convert, client acquisition costs can still be very high. Smith.ai only charges approximately $8 live chat sessions with low monthly flat rates. A completely automated chatbot is even less per month, and in some instances free.

Return on Investment
  • Positive - Smith.ai has easily saved me $25k+ in receptionist costs. They probably helped me land another $50k in new business I would otherwise not have brought in the door because they immediately grabbed the client on our website so they didn't get away or have to wait 2 days for a call back. Great ROI (100 to 1 ROI is probably not an exaggeration for my law firm).
