The best freemium alternatives in 2026 are Tidio (ideal for Shopify/e-commerce), Crisp (excellent clean interface and speed), and HubSpot Live Chat (perfect if you need a free built-in CRM)

2years old reply and still valid in 2026. If you test the premium of chatwoot you never going to use all others.

I went down this rabbit hole last year and tried Crisp on my burner sites. It looks way cleaner than tawk.to but the chat limits always caught me out right when traffic started peaking. Stuck with tawk.to in the end since it’s the only one that won't throttle you or demand a card mid-campaign.
