Gmail vs Live Chat

Based on the data on this page, Gmail is the stronger choice for most HubSpot App Marketplace teams — 4.0★ vs Live Chat's 3.2★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base.

On pricing, Gmail offers a free tier (Free plan available) while Live Chat starts at From $24/mo. For early-stage teams validating fit, the free-tier path lets you run the app on real workloads before committing budget.

Gmail has the larger user base (3,417 reviews vs 5), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Live Chat's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.

Recommended by size: small/early-stage teams who need fast install and low risk should default to Gmail; mid-market and enterprise teams with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Live Chat's 5-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Gmail's broader-but-shallower coverage.
