Any free solution to integrate a chat in my webapp?

I am looking for integrate a chat in my future product. What i am looking for is something simple like the chat in nomadlist.com (I think @levelsio uses a custom made chat now) where my users can register and chat.

I want to keep cheap (max 10$/month) o free is even better!

I know rocketchat but it is too complex and overkill for me. Slack is to expensive too.. Any suggestions?

    What about the free chat of tawk.to?

    If you can use Firebase (Free for 100 simultanerous connections or $25/Month for 100,000 simultaneous connections), you can use firechat (no server required)

    https://firechat.firebaseapp.com/

    At the minimum, you take their HTML/CSS/JS and put it anywhere on a server (try Netlify). No backend code needed. It connects and talks to firebase.

    Drift has a free tier

    I'm not sure what all of your requirements are, but you could check out Chatkit by Pusher https://pusher.com/chatkit/pricing

    Hey @test12346, a friend and I built a repo you can use to integrate chat into your app using firebase. (Group functionality included). Feel free to raise any questions about the repo

    Check it out here: https://github.com/olddustysocksunderthecouch/ChitChat-FirebaseCloudFunctions

    You can have 100 concurrent connections for free, and it's super cheap after that.
