GhostChat is a lightweight, privacy-first live chat widget for founders and small teams. The widget is 18.9KB gzipped, about 14x lighter than Crisp and 58x lighter than Intercom (measured Aug 2026), and adds zero blocking time to your site.
Manage conversations from a clean dashboard, your phone, or straight from Gmail. When a visitor messages your site, hit Reply in your inbox and your response lands in their chat widget in real time.
Zero cookies, zero third-party tracking. No GDPR consent banner is needed for the widget itself. It works with WordPress (official plugin), Shopify, Next.js, React, Squarespace, and Wix.
Free forever for 1 site. Flat monthly paid plans add more seats and sites, auto-translate, webhooks, and branding removal, with no per-seat fees and unlimited conversations. An optional AI plan answers visitors 24/7 from your site's content and hands off to you when it's unsure. Current plans are always at ghostchat.dev/pricing.
