How we ranked them
We looked at how well each tool suits a website that serves visitors in more than one language, how directly it helps capture leads or answer questions, and how easy it is to start. Javo is our own product, so we placed it first because this list is about what it does, which is English and French chat that qualifies leads; the other nine are listed fairly and in no strict order of quality. Language coverage differs by vendor and changes often, so check each tool's current language support before you buy.
