The Buttonizer alternative that brings your corner to life.

Buttonizer builds floating buttons, menus and popups. PetMySite does one job with personality: an animated pet that opens the chat or links your visitors already use, and stays out of the way of your page.

  • Free on up to 100 sites
  • All five pets included
  • Tawk.to, Intercom, Crisp, Zendesk

Buttonizer and PetMySite, round by round.

Both can put an action in the corner of your website. Here is where they differ.

  1. The first hello

    Buttons and menus.

    Buttonizer places floating buttons or sticky menus, styled with icons, colors, labels and entrance animations.

    Buttonizer

    A character, not an icon.

    Piko, Dottie, Orbi, Wisp or Halo waits in your corner with a personality of its own. It looks around, reacts when visitors pet it and plays an entry animation as your page loads.

  2. Keep the chat you already run

    Its own chat partner.

    Buttonizer’s live chat comes through its bundled Formilla integration, alongside WhatsApp and Messenger widgets.

    Buttonizer

    Your live chat, with a pet at the door.

    Connect Tawk.to, Intercom, Crisp or Zendesk. One click opens your provider directly; the pet steps aside while the chat is open and comes back when it closes.

  3. The right message on the right page

    Page rules are a premium feature.

    Buttonizer’s free version targets by device, delay and scroll. Page rules and time schedules need a premium plan.

    Buttonizer

    Smart Bubbles, on the free plan.

    Write up to 20 page-specific messages. Match a path such as /pricing or /shop/*, choose a delay, and add a button that opens chat or a link. Matching happens in the visitor’s browser.

  4. Numbers without the surveillance

    Visitor monitoring.

    Buttonizer’s premium analytics show visitors’ countries, recently viewed pages, referring sites, operating systems and browsers.

    Buttonizer

    Included, and private by design.

    See impressions and chat opens for every site on the free plan. PetMySite widget analytics never record visitor identities, message contents, full page URLs or cookies.

  5. Channel count

    More than 40 click actions.

    Buttonizer offers over 40 click actions, from messaging apps to scroll-to, print and PDF downloads. As a general button toolkit, it goes further.

    Buttonizer

    Live chat plus the links that matter.

    Add up to 10 actions: your live chat, or links to WhatsApp, email, phone, a calendar, help docs, your shop or any page. Two or more open a compact menu.

Switch from Buttonizer in an afternoon.

  1. Preview it on your site

    Enter your address and see the pet on a safe capture of your page before you create an account.

  2. Pick a pet, connect your chat

    Choose a pet, size and color. Connect your live chat and add links for the channels you still want to offer.

  3. Install, then retire the old widget

    Use the WordPress plugin or paste one script. Remove the Buttonizer button once the pet is live, so visitors see one launcher.

Questions people ask before switching.

Is PetMySite a free alternative to Buttonizer?

Yes. The free plan includes all five pets, chat and link actions, page-specific Smart Bubbles and analytics on up to 100 sites. Paid plans only remove the small “by PetMySite” badge.

Can PetMySite open my live chat instead of Formilla?

Yes. Connect Tawk.to, Intercom, Crisp or Zendesk and the pet opens it directly, stepping aside while the chat window is open.

Can the pet offer more than one action?

Yes. Add up to 10 chat and link actions. With more than one, the pet opens a compact menu; with none, it stays a friendly companion.

Will the pet get in the way of my page?

No. The clickable area follows the pet closely, it respects reduced-motion settings, and if PetMySite is ever unavailable your website and chat keep working.

What analytics does PetMySite collect?

Aggregate impressions and chat opens. PetMySite does not record visitor identities, message contents, full page URLs or cookies for its widget analytics.
