Learn more about how we keep KrestChat free without compromising on quality or privacy.
Yes. 100% completely free. There are no restrictions on active visitor volumes, agent seats, chat histories, custom color pickers, or floating widgets.
We monetize KrestChat by selling premium, entirely optional power-ups: hiring professional, managed 24/7 chat support agents for $1/hour, or removing the small footer branding for a minimal flat fee.
Absolutely. All communications, database connections, and visitor tables are handled locally on your servers (or configured SQLite/MySQL sandboxes). We do not index or export your chat logs.
Under a minute. Simply copy the generated Javascript snippet in the dashboard installation wizard, paste it directly into your HTML, and the chat is ready.
Join thousands of smart businesses using KrestChat's premium customer support channels. 100% Free.
