There really is not alternative to… There really is not alternative to Drift. If you want to work with playbooks to create chatbots, Drift is the only way to go. A couple of observations: - In order to really utilize their "playbook" option, you need to pay for a plan. The free one simply won't suffice (the functionality isn't even extended to free users). If you're just looking for a free chat widget, then there are better options. - There is a huge learning curve. I think the UI for the admins could use some work.

horrible experience horrible experience. supports only the basics of whatever we wanted to achieve and then we had to find workarounds for the rest. their documentation images never matched the end result we could achieve, their support never knew how to help or avoided the question giving unhelpful alternatives, and, worst of all, after we have invested so much time into their product, they have now started sunsetting the features we use. absolutely no respect for their customers. avoid!

Drift has been an incredible experience… Drift has been an incredible experience for our company. Our sales reps have the ability to quickly respond to conversations in real-time! Forget days or weeks of delayed response time. We have also opened a number of opportunities through the bot that might not have happened without Drift. As a whole we are extremely impressed by both the product and the team that makes up Drift - with their eagerness to help and quick response times to questions.

Testing out Drift on our new marketing website... :) Just integrated Drift into our new marketing website. Such cool features! And really great that it is configurable both through the settings and via api. :D

Making the life of an AE that much easier I love Drift! I'm an AE and it makes my life so much easier. Since adding Drift to our technology stack, I now have a steady drip of leads trickling into my pipeline. The ability to A/B test messaging and automate much of the process is a great way to save time and be effective.
