"Not the cheapest solution but works like a charm."

What do you like best about Olark? Doesn't redirect the visitors outside of your site like other real time chatting system. Also the price is pretty good so no complaint there. Lastly, pro-rated refund when we decided to temporarily try out the competitions. Now we're back to Olark, so.... What do you dislike about Olark? Kind of finicky when it comes to integrating with various Shopify themes. Also, I can't manage it from my smartphone and as a small founding team, we want to always be ...

"Adequete but not fully featured, need native apps or pretty useless"

What do you like best about Olark? Embedding live chat with a line of JS is pretty sweet. Helps us communicate with our users by pulling specific ones (triggered by analytics events) into a chat and lets us provide live help within our app! The web interface is good but logs us out too easily. The api is okay and the administration of operators is good. The price is okay, currently still on a free startup plan but will need to pay soon. What do you dislike about Olark? NO MOBILE APPS! What ...

"Great platform but is it right for you?"

There wasn't much to dislike aside from it wasn't cost effective for the size of our company at the time. We decided to go with PureChat as it is more cost effective for us right ...
