Is there any other online chat service (like Liveperson) which is free? I just can't afford the $99/month cost for LivePerson yet.

HumanClick trough bravenet.
They've got 3 versions :

- Free -> with banner ads
- Express -> $19.99/month
- Pro -> $59.99/month

FYI, Liveperson has a $39.99/m version aswell

You should take a look at clickchatsold.com (http://clickchatsold.com) . We have been using it for a few months now and it's very good , has lots of features and best of all it's free!! ;)

We're testing out an account with clickchatsold.com right now, so far it seems pretty great. I just wonder how long they can stay running offering it for free.

I've added the CCS code on my site exactly as instructed, but when I clicked the chat button, it just didn't work (the popup didn't show up).

Well, do you have any working URL that I can see?

They recently updated the system. You could try this[1] wizard on their site to make the code.

I think we need to give some donations to them.... I had wanted to but haven't found time to contact them yet.

We use LiveResponse from Kayako. It's a little buggy, but it works very well.

Clickchatsold is the best we love it and so do our customers, its much better than the free humanclick at bravenet which we had for about 7 months and I've noticed many hosts have this atleast 50%

I finally got CCS working. So far so good, much simpler than HumanClick!

What are the features every one likes about these services? What is better than running your own chat software?

have CCS users noticed sometimes their site does not operate ? Our site used to get un-accessable which it was CSS and all sites using them, including themselves were unable to load html pages.

Yes, like now :)

I browse through my site, CCS do not detect it.

Is there any good free chat software out there? (similar to CCS and HumanClick)

You could always host your own Java chat, without relying on a third party service. If you have a CPanel server, some are pre-installed already. :)

take a look at www.sitechatter.com
its $10/month and they're very reliable and will stay in business

clickchatsold is extremely cool I just installed it and tested extensively. Its amazing how this program which is totally free offers so many features meanwhile Humanclick doesn't even give half of that for free (its not even free they have advertisement all over the place).

The only thing I don't like about programs like this is that once they get everything perfect BOOM we have to pay :( they are only using us as rats in a lab!

But I will use it for as long as I can :D

IT won't work with Netscape 6.0 :bawling:

I don't know if there might be something better 'cause I don't really know what makes these two so special.

Do You have a list of features that you like about them?

If they are very reliable, why do you have sitechatter.com in your www?

BTW, seems like a total rip off of phplivesupport.com

Interesting. I never realise sitechatter.com is in his "WWW"

http://www.phplivesupport.com/ well . . . I purchased that last year, but I've been trying to get a response from the company for the past month with no results.
They won't return an email or answer the phone. Although I payed a 'lot' less than what they charge now; what good is it if the company can't/won't talk with you? :rolleyes:
