Start for freeA visitor lands on your site at 11pm with a question about pricing. Nobody is watching the Tawk.to dashboard, so they wait, get no reply, and leave. Botalio answers instantly from your own content, captures the visitor's name and number, and sends you the lead on WhatsApp, even while you're asleep. Tawk.to is genuinely free and a great choice for teams who want live human chat during business hours, that is its job. Botalio's job is capturing leads the moment no human is available.
Where free live chat and automatic AI lead capture overlap, and where they don't.

Tawk.to's free plan is genuinely one of the most generous in live chat. Unlimited agents, unlimited chats, no cost. But it is a live chat tool: when your team logs off, it goes offline, and visitors who arrive after hours get no response and leave without a number. Botalio is not a live chat replacement. It is an always-on AI that answers from your content, captures the visitor's name and number, and sends it to you on WhatsApp, whether it is 2pm or 2am.
Tawk.to is the better pick if you want free live human chat during business hours with a team of agents watching the dashboard.
AI included on every paid plan. No add-ons to stack.
