Alternatives to JivoSite: how to replace the Russian service in Ukraine

There was a popular service called JivoSite, which was used by the vast majority of companies in post-Soviet countries. And one day, the story of the Russian product on the Ukrainian market came to an end, as local business owners began to abandon it massively. The reason for this was Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Now no one in Ukraine wants to replenish the Russian budget, so Ukrainian entrepreneurs went in search of the Grail of JivoSite’s analogue. Solve Marketing also started looking for alternatives so that our team and clients would not sponsor the development of the 404 country and secure their own business. So, you have a treasure in front of you. Keep the link to the article and share it with your colleagues who are still looking for an alternative and comparing dozens of services.

What is JivoSite?

To find the best alternative, we suggest you first consider JivoSite.

JivoSite is a Russian service, an online chat for websites, through which you can provide consultations to customers. In addition to the main function, JivoSite has voice and video capabilities, a chatbot, and a basic CRM system. If you have used this product before, you know the rest of the details, and if not, you don’t need to.

At the same time, online chat on the website is a necessary tool for getting prompt communication with users. For your website visitors, this is the fastest way to resolve their query without leaving the page. And the more conveniently and quickly a person receives an answer, the more likely they are to become a loyal and regular customer.

In any case, there are several reasons to use JivoSite. First of all, you can get into problems with payment and operation by using JivoSite. And most importantly, in this way, you will be sponsoring the aggressor and its invasive actions. We all already know how it works: first, we pay for the Russian service, the company of the enemy country makes a profit, and from this profit pays taxes, which are then used to launch missiles and drones at Ukrainian cities. 

A big tree grows from a small shoot. Small decisions lead to global changes. So we recommend that you pay attention to Ukrainian and foreign equivalents of Russian services.
