What you give up either way
- Polished multi-channel product UI (unified, turnkey inbox and widget)
- Built-in vendor-managed scaling and SLA/enterprise support
- Prebuilt knowledge-base connectors and easy doc upload UX
- Out-of-the-box proactive visitor intent tracking and visitor map
- Commercial analytics dashboards and usage-limited pricing tiers convenience (billing/overage management integrated with product UI/portal/warnings).
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches KalTalk, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
