✦ Okiru's Opinion

Our take: Chatwoot is a solid, if not yet best-in-class, option in Customer Support, and the free tier makes it low-risk to test on your own workflow.

We haven't run this one through a full hands-on review yet — treat this as a directory listing rather than a tested endorsement, and lean on the pricing and reliability rating above until we do.
