GetApp offers objective, independent research and verified user reviews. We may earn a referral fee when you visit a vendor through our links.

Our commitment

Independent research methodology

Our researchers use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or speak to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.

Verified user reviews

GetApp maintains a proprietary database of millions of in-depth, verified user reviews across thousands of products in hundreds of software categories. Our data scientists apply advanced modeling techniques to identify key insights about products based on those reviews. We may also share aggregated ratings and select excerpts from those reviews throughout our site.

Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

Pros

“Another great bonus is that email and auto messages are included in our plan, allowing us to set up our transactional emails and onboarding using this platform”

Максим Г.

Co-founder

“We use it as a single customer communication tool that aligns chat on our website, chatbot, and help center.”

Максим Г.

Co-founder

“Agents reported improved productivity and overal they like the ease of use and ability to customize their inbox views and route tickets using automation rules.”

Fiodar P.

CEO

Pros

“I liked Gist's seamless integration of communication, collaboration, and automation features in one platform, providing a comprehensive solution for our team's needs.”

Aaron K.

CTO

“The thing we as a company like least, is the fact that the membership is based on the number of contacts.”

Patrick F.

CEO

“Gist offers a seamless conversational marketing suite, which makes communication and building relationships with your users a whole lot easier.”

Deyan K.

Digital Consultant

Cons

“The Widget looks sort of hard on the edges when using it on pc.”

Torsten H.

CEO

“This is more a reflection of me than the software, it truly is plug and play I am just terrible with all things tech related.”

Louis M.

Founder

Cons

“The custom chatbots work only with the website chats, not with the other channels such as Facebook, Whatsapp etc, which means you would need to use another software if you want to automate those (which makes no sense).”

Deyan K.

Digital Consultant

“Also, some of the tools are not super intuitive to setup and integrate with your existing solutions.”

Dakotah I.

Co-Founder

“Little confusing on the use of multiple domains”
