There really is not alternative to… There really is not alternative to Drift. If you want to work with playbooks to create chatbots, Drift is the only way to go. A couple of observations: - In order to really utilize their "playbook" option, you need to pay for a plan. The free one simply won't suffice (the functionality isn't even extended to free users). If you're just looking for a free chat widget, then there are better options. - There is a huge learning curve. I think the UI for the admins could use some work.

Drift has been an incredible experience… Drift has been an incredible experience for our company. Our sales reps have the ability to quickly respond to conversations in real-time! Forget days or weeks of delayed response time. We have also opened a number of opportunities through the bot that might not have happened without Drift. As a whole we are extremely impressed by both the product and the team that makes up Drift - with their eagerness to help and quick response times to questions.

Drift Bot is super cool Drift Bot is super cool! After implementing it within 1 day we got a lead we would have otherwise missed. Very neat tool to connect with our clients and prospects.

Easy to use, loads of power and potential Easy to use, easy to build and easy to integrate with Salesforce!! There's a lot of potential to build pretty involved and almost expert system level ChatBots, even at the lower licence levels and plenty of opportunity to upgrade to AI and full NLP levels :)

Testing out Drift on our new marketing website... :) Just integrated Drift into our new marketing website. Such cool features! And really great that it is configurable both through the settings and via api. :D
