Best WordPress Live Chat Plugin
WordPress powers 43% of the web, but its plugin ecosystem is full of bloated chat tools that slow your site and charge per agent. Boei is different. Install the official WordPress plugin, and your site gets live chat with AI that answers visitors automatically. Works with WooCommerce, Elementor, Divi, and every WordPress theme. No code editing needed.
Trusted by 17,000+ websites
Official WordPress plugin
Also available for:
Search 'live chat' in the WordPress plugin repository and you get hundreds of results. Tawk.to, Tidio, LiveChat, Crisp, 3CX, and dozens more. They all promise the same thing. But here is what actually happens when you install most of them:
Install the plugin from the WordPress repository. Enter your site URL. The AI crawls your pages, posts, and WooCommerce products. Within minutes, it answers visitor questions based on your actual content. Not scripted responses. Not 'an agent will get back to you.' Real answers, instantly, around the clock.
And when a conversation needs a human, AI hands it off to your team with the full chat history and a summary. Your team picks up mid-conversation on WhatsApp, email, or the Boei inbox. Want a fully automated option? Our AI chatbot for WordPress handles conversations without human involvement.
Running a WooCommerce store? Your biggest revenue leak is unanswered product questions. 'Does this fit a size 42?' 'Is this in stock?' 'How much is shipping to Germany?' Every unanswered question is a lost sale. Boei's AI trains on your WooCommerce product catalog and answers these questions instantly. Upload your products as CSV or let AI crawl your shop pages.
WordPress site owners obsess over performance. Rightly so. Google ranks faster sites higher. Most chat plugins ignore this. They load jQuery dependencies, tracking pixels, and third-party fonts on every page. Boei takes the opposite approach. Under 50KB script, async loading, CDN delivery, zero jQuery dependency. Compatible with WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed, and every other caching plugin.
Different WordPress sites have different chat needs
AI answers product questions, handles shipping and returns inquiries, and captures leads from window shoppers. Train on your full catalog and let AI sell while you sleep.
Most WordPress business sites use Contact Form 7 or WPForms. Live chat captures 3-5x more leads than static forms because visitors get instant answers to their questions.
Running LearnDash or MemberPress? AI answers questions about course content, pricing, and enrollment. Converts curious visitors into paying members faster than an FAQ page.
Readers have questions about your content. AI turns those questions into email subscribers and leads. Works across posts, pages, and custom post types.
Official plugin. 5 minutes. Zero code.
In your Boei dashboard, open your widget and click the Install tab. Select WordPress and copy the WordPress plugin key.
Tip: The Install tab also offers a landing page link, QR code, and iframe embed.
Open WordPress and click on "Plugins".
Now, click "Add New" at the top of the page.
Search for "Boei" and find our plugin.
Click "Install Now".
When the plugin is installed, press "Activate".
Go to the Boei plugin in WordPress (see Boei in the left menu).
Enter the key you copied in the Widget Key field and press "save".
If you don't see the field for the Widget Key, click on "Advanced / Without domain detection".
Congrats, you are done!
Boei vs the most popular WordPress chat plugins
| Boei | Tawk.to | Tidio | LiveChat | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starting price | from $11/mo | Free (branded) | EUR 39/mo | EUR 76/mo |
| AI chatbot included | Yes (2,000 msgs) | No (paid add-on) | No (paid add-on) | ✗ |
| Branding removal | Included on paid plans | $19/mo extra | Included | Included |
| Team seats | Unlimited | Unlimited | 3 | 1 |
| WooCommerce product training | Yes (CSV/crawl) | ✗ | ✗ Limited | ✗ |
| WhatsApp + 50 channels | Included | ✗ | Extra cost | Extra cost |
| WordPress plugin | Yes (official) | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes |
| Script size | Under 50KB | ~200KB | ~150KB | ~180KB |
| GDPR compliant (EU servers) | ✓ Yes | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ |
Bottom line: Tawk.to is free but branded and has no AI. Tidio and LiveChat charge per agent and add fees for AI. Boei gives WordPress sites AI chat, unlimited seats, and 50+ channels from $11/mo. And it won't slow your site down.
If you use WP Rocket or W3 Total Cache, add the Boei script URL to your cache exclusions. The script loads async and is only 50KB, but excluding it prevents unnecessary cache invalidation.
Export your WooCommerce products as CSV and upload to Boei. The AI learns every product name, description, price, and stock status. Set auto-sync so new products are covered automatically.
Set up suggested conversation starters like 'What are your services?', 'See pricing', or 'Book a call'. These give visitors a starting point and increase chat engagement by 40%.
Already using Contact Form 7 or WPForms? Keep them for detailed inquiries. Use Boei for instant questions. Both feed into the same CRM via webhooks.
