Selected from Shopify’s own Chat sub-category, so the comparison is like-for-like. The one-line descriptions are each vendor’s App Store tagline, quoted as written.
Chatty is the closest match on job and scores well, though on far fewer reviews. This category turns over fast and review counts age quickly.
Chat apps are the easiest switch on this whole site. There is no data to migrate beyond canned replies, so the cost of trying one is an afternoon.
Ranking method, the review floor and how paid placement is kept separate are explained once on how ranking works. Short version: review data sets the order, money never does.
