Best for website live chat with no extras
Provide Support is live chat for websites. Every plan has the same features and differs only by agent seats: $24 a month for one seat, $53 for three. It does chat and nothing else, with no ticketing, help center or AI agent, and the trial locks agent logins when it ends.
Who Provide Support is for
- Fits if you only want a chat box on your site, for one or a few agents
- Works for small teams that want every feature on every plan
Who Provide Support is not for
- Too light for support teams who need tickets, a help center or an AI agent
- Watch out: chat translation is $249 a year and a custom-domain chat link $49 a year per domain
- Watch out: after the 10-day trial, agent logins lock until you pay
- Not for you if you need bigger teams quickly, as the page shows prices for 1 and 3 seats only

Keep it
Nothing Provide Support does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 4 things listed below take a company.
It costs $288 a year.
What you could not
- A chat box on your site that reaches you the moment a customer types.
- A chatbot builder hooked into the messaging apps.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- It plugs into other products, WordPress, Wix and Shopify among them.
What this rests on. Provide Support’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
