Frequently asked questions

Can Chatsy do lead qualification like Drift?

Chatsy focuses on customer support excellence. While our chatbot can collect lead information, we recommend dedicated sales tools for complex lead qualification flows.

Why is Chatsy so much cheaper than Drift?

Drift targets enterprise sales teams with ABM features. Chatsy is built for customer support automation, allowing us to offer better value for support use cases.

Can I use Chatsy for both sales and support?

While Chatsy excels at customer support, it also captures and qualifies leads effectively. You can collect visitor information, ask qualifying questions, and route hot leads to your sales team, just without Drift's heavy ABM and sales-specific features.

Does Chatsy integrate with sales tools like Drift does?

Chatsy integrates with major CRMs like Salesforce, HubSpot, and Pipedrive through native integrations and Zapier. Qualified leads flow directly into your sales pipeline with full conversation context.

How long does migration from Drift take?

Since Drift and Chatsy serve different primary purposes, it's less of a migration and more of a fresh setup. Most teams deploy Chatsy in under an hour, add the widget, upload your support docs, and you're live.
