How this list was built
A company is on this list if its description or website presents live chat or website messaging software. A "chat with us" button alone doesn't count.
The data comes from LeadWave's database of SaaS and AI companies, last updated in October 2026. Companies that share a website are counted once. Headcount, funding and CEO come from public sources, so some fields are blank for smaller companies.

No. Live chat connects visitors with people on the team. A chatbot answers by itself. Most tools now do both: the bot answers first and hands over to a person when needed.
