The Best Website Chatbot Tool For Lead Generation

Reviewed on 03/11/2021

Having the ability to collect leads from a tool like Collect.Chat without having to pay a dime in...

Having the ability to collect leads from a tool like Collect.Chat without having to pay a dime in the beginning is a huge turn-un. So, no need of running ads to get leads and so on, because with Collect.Chat I'd probably get them in bulk.

Pros

They offer a 100% free plan, where I could use the tool without making subscriptions. Also, on my website, my visitors hardly sign up or subscribe to my blog through my website pop ups, but instead they prefer signing up through my chatbot, and not because it was a chatbot, but because it looks very agile and attractive to click-on, and currently, with the help of Collect.Chat, I've collected more than 6,000 email leads from my website visitors.

Cons

The chatbot is automated, you set it up the way you want it to be, you can call it your goal, maybe to collect leads like emails, phone numbers or maybe to enable visitors to subscribe to your social media handles. So, in general, it is not a human chatbot but an automated one created by you.

Very useful App - ( with a couple of key drawbacks)

Reviewed on 03/01/2019

Pros

Very easy to setup and use. Good template and intuitive flow of questions. Also one of the few chat-apps which allow you to receive messages through Whatspp, which is very popular in certain countries. The ability to receive message through Whatspp, alleviates a key issue, live chat. Whenever a customer wants to go live, you can just move him to Whatspp.

Pricing is quite competitive if your responses are less per day

Cons

Its very important to try out the advanced feature like Zapier Webhook integration and conditional logic jumps. I especially needed to check out how the email and phone captures would get auto populated in my CRM and Mailchimp apps. This is not possible in the free version and the free trial of advanced version is not available.

While the free trial is very good, I feel the founders should also allow a trial of the advanced version also. This will allow more people to try and out and pay for premium version.

I for one are hesitating to go paid, till i can try out the advanced features.

I am also awaiting a complete Facebook messenger version, so i dont need to use a different chat app there.

Have been using it for about a month and got over 10 leads. Our agency is tiny so that's huge.

Reviewed on 23/01/2018

Pros

I like that it was easy to set up and it was free. I had the bot up and running in less than 30 minutes. I also like that it's easy to change something if I have to.

Cons

I don't like the fact that I can't have different scripts for different answers, like I recently learned I can do on Landbot. However, I still like Collect.chat UI way more so I'm going to stick with you guys. Thank you for everything! Really good product.

Response from Collect.chat

Hi Carol,

Overall I am satisfied. It does the job and provides value for the money. Totally no brainer for lead collection in landing page

Pros

1. Primarily Liked the interface and simplicity
2. There are tons of Free templates available for different industries.
3. No brainer for a beginner. For us, we started with a template for software company and edited the template to work on it.
4. Has an integration with Zapier and Google calendar.

Cons

1. No complaint but, UX could be a little better. If there was an onboarding video right after sign up then I could get an idea before using it.
2. They should have more integration. I hope they are working on it.

It gives a personal touch to our website and some potential customers have already gave their e-mail adresses, which is a great lead generation method.

Pros

Since it's web based, it's really easy to use and it generates the code automatically, that I have to paste into my website to use it. The builder is really straightforward and I like the graphics. The whole branding of collect.chat is great, that is why I chose to pursue with a subscription, I have the lite version which is quite enough for us at the moment.

Cons

I had an issue, where I wanted an Invoice to the company name I am buying for, but that was not possible. That was really frustrating, since I bought it for our company. It needs more features, but overtime it could become a great alternative for some basic customer service stuff.

The user experience is great.

Reviewed on 23/01/2018

Pros

The user experience is great. The customization options available helps to match it with the website theme. Also, features like Zapier integration are very useful. Also, if you don't have Zapier integration as a part of your free plan, you can easily download the responses as a csv file. Logical jumps are innovative as you can easily branch out your conversation based on your users reply. Also, the ease of usability makes it one of the best chatbot.

Cons

Since, analyzing the chatbot conversations can be hard, I would like to have at least 50 complete conversations in the free plan. This is because I could then analyze the performance of the chatbot and then buy a plan that suits my business needs better. Having the maximum chat limit increased to 50 would help me get an insight about how are the users interacting with my chatbot and do I need to use logical jumps or not.

An engaging lead generation solution for websites

Reviewed on 24/01/2018

Pros

The interface is really clean and comprehensive, which allows you to configure and publish your widget within minutes from signing up for the service. It does what it's supposed to do really well and can work as a good source for lead generation on a website.

Cons

There's nothing I don't like about Collect.chat, but it would be really interesting to include more triggers for the conversation to start (e.g. button click, number of page views, etc.) as well as more options for customization in terms of the look and feel of the widget.
