  • All five pets included
  • Tawk.to, Intercom, Crisp, Zendesk

Chaty and PetMySite, round by round.

Both put a friendly way to reach you in the corner of every page. Here is where they differ.

  1. The first hello

    Channel icons with attention effects.

    Chaty shows a floating chat icon that fans out into channel icons, with attention effects and a call-to-action message to catch the eye.

    Chaty

    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

    Built around messaging apps.

    Chaty connects channels such as WhatsApp, Messenger, Telegram, email and phone, plus its own contact form.

    Chaty

    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

    Targeting is a Pro feature.

    Chaty’s page targeting, time and scroll triggers, and extra widgets for specific pages are part of Pro.

    Chaty

    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

    Analytics are a Pro feature.

    Chaty lists widget analytics and Google Analytics integration among its Pro features.

    Chaty

    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 25 channels.

    Chaty supports over 25 channels, from WhatsApp to Microsoft Teams. If breadth is what you need most, Chaty covers more.

    Chaty

    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.

  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.

Questions people ask before switching.

Is PetMySite a free alternative to Chaty?

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 I keep WhatsApp as a way to reach me?

Yes. Add a WhatsApp link action next to your live chat, email or phone. With more than one action, the pet opens a compact menu so visitors can choose.

Which live chat tools does PetMySite work with?

Tawk.to, Intercom, Crisp and Zendesk. The pet opens your provider directly, steps aside while the chat window is open and returns when it closes.

Can I show different messages on different pages?

Yes, on every plan. Smart Bubbles match a page path such as /pricing or /shop/*, wait for your chosen delay and offer a button that opens chat or a link.

Does PetMySite collect visitor data?

Widget analytics count impressions and chat opens in aggregate. PetMySite does not record visitor identities, message contents, full page URLs or cookies for them.
