<h3>What do people have to say about Crisp Live Chat ?</h3>
<p><em>“Crisp stood out. It has roughly the same feature set as Intercom with a few additional features and it has simple/affordable pricing. The support from the team over there is great and new features pop up often.”</em> – Shai Almog, Co-founder of Codename</p>
<p><em>“We could have had the same experience with other live chats as well, but the price tag combined with the feature set Crisp does offer, we would and already do recommend it to all customers who are looking for a live chat themselves. We’ve upgraded to the Crisp unlimited plan a while ago, and are glad that we made that decision.”</em> – Dominik Angerer, Founder of Storyblok</p>


Crisp – Live Chat and Chatbot

When you install the Plugin and create your account at the crisp website you will automatically subscribe to the pro plan which is only for free for 14 days!

So this plugin is not for free until you chance your plan to the basic one.

The advertisement is very irritating. Everywhere they tell you that the chat plugin is free, even on the registration page.

The plugin connects to the crisp server. So the chats will be recorded there. You have to mention this in your privacy policy. Also you have to block loading the chatbox - a lot of cookies and the external script - before the visitor has accepted the cookies. I am not sure if this is possible. So I assume the plugin is not DSGVO compatible although the developer comes from France. 

The service itself works great with the app ecosystem they offer.

I tried to delete my account after testing the service - which is difficult - but it finally worked - you have to delete the website from the crisp dashboard first.

Caution! Hidden Paid Subscription


Crisp is really helpful for connecting me to my website visitors. As an independent plugin developer myself, it's great to have this kind of community-interaction capability. Thanks, Valerian and team!
