Chaport versus Olark

Founded in 2014, US-based Chaport has since become a live chat provider with a range of options and features to enhance customer support. They have set out to make communication with customers as easy and enjoyable as chatting with friends. By prioritizing user experience, Chaport seeks to enhance customer satisfaction and build stronger relationships between businesses and their customers.

The Chaport chatwidget determines the language of a visitor and automatically switches to their native language. Chaport currently supports 35 languages.

Founded in 2008, Olark has seen the rise of chat software for over a decade. After getting funding from the famous YCombinator incubator Olark launched their first live chat platform.

Olark is committed to developing accessible software and is actively testing improvements in assistive technologies. It’s awesome to see a provider care about this often-overlooked aspect of customer service.

Besides live chat, Olark also markets as a customer metrics company. Since putting a widget on your platform gives you a lot of valuable data.

To ensure that every user always gets the right answer, the chatbot can transfer to a human employee at any time. This Human Handover is possible via Live Chat or E-Mail.
