7. 07About ToolGPAWho made this guide, what else is on the site, and how to cite it

ToolGPA put this guide together from Chaty’s own pages, its app-store listings and our grades. Every fact in it is on Chaty’s page too, where it is kept up to date. Checked Nov 13, 2026.

1. 1

   Best for chat buttons on a WordPress site

   Chaty adds a floating button to a WordPress site that opens WhatsApp, Messenger, Telegram and other chat apps.

2. 2

   Paid plans start at $4.92 a month when paid by the year

   As its pricing page puts it: $59 per year for 1 website.

3. 3

   There is a free plan

   Free edition on WordPress.org; the pricing page does not list its limits, only that the paid edition unlocks the features below.

4. 4

   It runs on Web

   Web.

5. 5

   Up to 25 chat channels

   Shows up to 25 channels in one button, including WhatsApp, Messenger and Telegram, with your own icons and hover text.

6. 6

   Multiple agents per channel

   Lets visitors pick between several agents under one channel, for example separate pre-sales and support WhatsApp contacts.

7. 7

   Targeting rules

   Show the widget by page, country, traffic source, device, and days and hours, or schedule it for a date range.

8. 8

   A 2.4 GPA, above 34 of 54

   That is against the other popup and widget tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

9. 9

   Keep it

   To replace Chaty you would be making the WhatsApp Business API, which Meta opens only through approved partners. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
