Free Version Features The free version of Social Chat provides a robust foundation for instant visitor communication. You can create up to three always-online operators and deploy a variety of chat interfaces tailored to your needs. Choose from a modern Chat Popup that lists multiple team members for visitors to select from, an interactive Operator Popup that mimics a traditional live chat experience with a welcome message and chat input, or a streamlined Direct Chat Button for instant one-click connections to a specific agent on WhatsApp, Telegram, Viber, or Signal. Customization is built right in, allowing you to adjust button shapes (round, pill, rounded, square), choose between icon-only or icon-plus-label styles, and apply entrance animations to match your brand's aesthetic. The free version includes one fully configurable chat widget and one display rule, enabling you to automatically show your WhatsApp, Telegram, Viber, or Signal chat buttons on specific pages or manually embed them via shortcode. Plus, it is 100% GDPR compliant — no cookies, no tracking, and no personal data stored on your server.
