Smith.ai Chatbot is a fully automated solution for lead capture. Userlike Live Chat is a modern messaging solution for your team.

At the current moment, live chat and chatbots are being pushed more than ever before. Of course, this can prove to be both a good thing and a bad thing for some businesses. After all, while it’s great to have options, it can be difficult to figure out which ones are actually going to deliver results. 

And let’s face it—once you’ve been inundated with poor results, you’re not going to want to work very hard to find the best ones. 

Fortunately, we’ve got you covered. Today’s audience wants dynamic, real-time solutions for communication. With Userlike and the Smith.ai Chatbot, that’s easier than you could ever imagine. Both of these apps offer impressive chatbots along with a host of other included and premium features that may incur an additional cost. 

Single-seat plans from Userlike are available at no charge, but you get very limited access to the features of the platform. If you upgrade to a corporate plan, you can get up to 10 seats, and they will all offer unlimited conversations and contacts. Analytics aren’t available until you upgrade to a premium plan, however, so keep that in mind. 

Smith.ai offers a full suite of analytics and user insights for businesses. The Smith.ai Chatbot is also designed to be used with rich media, integrated with the apps and tools that you use, and trained with natural language processing to handle all kinds of inquiries and requests so that your customers have the service solutions they demand. Plus, it starts at the right price of free.

While Userlike does a good job of providing solutions for free or those on a budget, the fact is that it just falls short in the personalized, customized, and dedicated attention that you get from a tool like the Smith.ai chatbot.

What our customers are saying

“Great customer care and functionality. I love using Smith.ai. They do such a great job in following instructions on how I'd like my cases handled. I especially love the fact that I get email transcripts of all chats. I have never had incorrect information obtained (contact info) from any potential clients by Smith.ai. They are very detail oriented!”
Justie Nicol
"Smith allows us to converse with website visitors and turn them into potential clients. They've made it easier for us to be there at all times, even when we're not. We've worked with other vendors in the past and have found Smith.ai among the easiest to use. They're very responsive, they communicate well, and serve as our front lines for client communications."
Scott Peterson
“Simple way to start a great client experience. There are a lot of Chat options available, but this was a no brainer for us because of our great experience with Smith.ai as a company. Everything they do is focused on simplicity. Stuff just works. They make everything easy and have focused on hiring great people, which is evident by the way they treat us as a customer and the people that they chat with on our behalf.”
Brian Waller
“Love Smith.ai Chat! There is no way that I could staff a feature like that in house with my small business. Smith.ai makes the chat feature available around the clock. I am a lawyer and this feature is great for clients who are nervous or shy about making that initial phone call, or who are up thinking about the problem that they need help with outside of business hours. The Smith.ai Website Chat also integrates perfectly with my CRM/case management software. It has really been a boost to my business. I have tried other companies. Smith.ai is the best!”
