Feederloop versus Rocket.Chat

The Feederloop chat widget provides seamless video, audio, and screen-sharing calls straight from your website.

Feederloop was founded in 2021 with the goal of going beyond traditional text-based chat widgets by providing a complete audio/visual call experience while keeping customers engaged on your website.

Feederloop provides a rich feature set including:

• Audio or video chat.
• In-call or anonymous screen sharing.
• Intelligent call routing to agents and teams.
• Customers can leave voice messages when agents are unavailable.
• Replays allow your team to watch screen share sessions retroactively.
• It can be used as a stand-alone widget or integrated with other live chat software like Intercom, JivoChat, and Twak.to (more app store integrations coming soon).

Feederloop shines in customer support, onboarding, and sales by creating a seamless real-time audio/visual communication channel between companies and their customers.

Rocket.Chat is a SaaS and genuine Free Open Source Software platform. They are developing an impressive range of communication and collaboration solutions for a wide variety of organizations, catering to industries like financial services, healthcare, and governments.

Open Source

Rocket.Chat, being Open Source, lets you review the code yourself or contribute to the project in their GitHub Repository. Unlike most providers, Rocket.Chat holds an MIT license, granting you full ownership and control over your code, data, privacy, and security. Detailed documentation for developers is available on the Rocket.Chat website, allowing you to build upon their framework and customize integrations.

One of their core products is Team Collaboration which you can set up as a privately hosted alternative to Slack. Of course, the use case for their software highlighted here is Customer Service and Engagement.

With Rocket.Chat you can manage live chat, email, SMS, and social media channels in a single security-oriented hub. The options and features at hand are mostly limited by your imagination.
