PureChat

PureChat is a straightforward, no-frills live chat software designed for simplicity, ease of use, and affordability. It focuses on doing the basics well: providing a reliable chat widget for your website, mobile apps for agents, and essential features like canned responses and basic reporting. Its key characteristic is its extreme ease of setup—you can be up and running in minutes. It offers a forever-free plan for solo operators and very low-cost paid plans for teams.

It's ideal for micro-businesses, freelancers, consultants, and small local businesses that need a simple way to talk to website visitors without the complexity of automation, chatbots, or advanced integrations. Compared to Tidio or Crisp, it has fewer features but is even simpler. Compared to enterprise tools, it's a lightweight, purpose-built solution for basic real-time communication. It serves a market that values function over form and cost over complexity.
