How do I find which websites use live chat?
- Paste up to 100 sites, or 500 after a free Google sign-in, one per line; email addresses and URLs work too, and the domain is taken from each. You can also upload a CSV.
- Press Detect chat and booking tools. Each home page is requested once, over HTTPS and then HTTP, five sites at a time; the first 128 KB is read.
- Read each row: Chat or booking tool seen, with the tool's name, whether it is chat or booking and the marker that matched, or None seen.
- Filter to the tool you compete with or integrate with, and download the CSV.
Example
- You enter
- Three sites:
acme.example(an Intercom script),globex.example(a Calendly link) andinitech.example(neither). - You get
- acme.example: Chat or booking tool seen, Intercom, from widget.intercom.io in the page source. globex.example: Calendly, booking, from assets.calendly.com. initech.example: None seen. Download the CSV.
- Limits
- Up to 100 a run without an account and 500 when signed in with Google, counted over a minute. 10 sites a request; one GET of the home page from our server, no cookies, nothing stored.
How does a tool tell a site has live chat?
A chat or booking widget has to be loaded from its vendor, so the page source usually names the vendor's script or link: widget.intercom.io, client.crisp.chat, code.tidio.co, cdn.livechatinc.com, assets.calendly.com and so on. The tool looks for about twenty of these in the first 128 KB of the home page and reports each with the marker it matched.
That is a signal that the page loads the tool, not a check that the chat is staffed, switched on or visible to visitors.
What can it miss?
Tools loaded through a tag manager, or only after a visitor accepts a cookie banner, aren't in the HTML we fetch. A chat on a pricing or support page rather than the home page isn't seen either. A row that says None seen means none was in the page fetched.
For the platform behind a site, use the bulk website CMS detector; for who hosts it, use the website host checker.
How do you use the list?
Sellers of chat, support and scheduling software use it to find sites that already use a competitor, or none. Agencies use it to see which sites could be missing a way to talk to visitors. Treat it as a first filter, then look at each site.
To reach the people, find addresses on the site and verify them before you send. Chat tools are for visitors; they don't give you an address to write to.

Common questions
- How do I check if a website uses live chat?
- Paste the site into a bulk live chat detector like this one. It reads the home page source for the scripts and links of about twenty chat and booking tools.
- Is this live chat detector free?
- Yes. 100 sites a run without an account, 500 after a free Google sign-in, with no card, and a CSV download.
- Which tools does it recognise?
- Intercom, Drift, Crisp, Tidio, LiveChat, Zendesk chat, HubSpot chat, Tawk.to, Freshchat, Olark, Gorgias, Zoho SalesIQ, Smartsupp, Chatra, Help Scout Beacon, the Messenger plugin and WhatsApp chat links, plus Calendly, Chili Piper, Acuity, HubSpot meetings and Cal.com.
- Why does a site that has chat show None seen?
- The chat may load through a tag manager or after a cookie banner, or sit on a page other than the home page. None of those is in the HTML this tool reads.
- Can it be wrong?
- A mention of a vendor in the page, such as a link in a blog post, can look like the tool. The evidence names the exact marker.
- Does it start a chat or send a message?
- No. It reads the page source and never interacts with a widget.
Sources
A tidy list can still be full of dead addresses.
Extracting, deduplicating and syntax checks all work on the text of an address. None of them can tell whether the mailbox exists. Only the server that hosts it can answer that, through an SMTP check, and that is what the paid product does.
- Upload the cleaned file as it is: CSVs up to 100,000 rows
- A real SMTP mailbox check on every row, with catch-all detection
- Small list? Starter at $9/mo covers 2,500 emails a month, cancel anytime
Plans from $9 a month, cancel anytime, no contract. Sign in with Google and your first 100 email checks are free, no card. The free tools stay free either way.
