Live chat that doesn't slow your site down.

Pidge is a chat widget, a shared inbox and a phone app. It understands the same API calls as Crisp, so you can switch in an afternoon, and you pay one flat price per website.

We're adding websites a few at a time. You'll get one email when there's room for yours.

Speed

Crisp loads 105 KB before anyone opens the chat. Pidge loads 4.2 KB.

The chat bubble needs one small script. The rest downloads when someone actually clicks it, so the other 99% of your visitors don't pay for it.

We measured Crisp on doomhosting.com on 14 October 2026 in Chrome, from Oslo, with brotli compression. The Pidge numbers come from the same build that serves this page.

What you get

Live typing preview

You see what a visitor is typing before they send it, so you can start on the answer early.

Translation both ways

Write in English and a Swedish visitor reads Swedish. Their messages reach you in English, with the original underneath if you want to check.

One chat per customer

If your site tells Pidge who's logged in, a customer who switches from phone to laptop stays in the same chat.

Screenshots and log files

Visitors can paste a screenshot or drop in a log file. Big photos are resized on their device first.

Replies by email

If someone closes the tab before you answer, they get your reply by email and can answer it from there.

Works with your bot

Your bot can answer through the API. When someone on the team replies, the bot stops for that chat.

Quiet bans

A banned visitor stops seeing the chat on all your sites. They aren't told they've been banned.

Inbox on your phone

Add the inbox to your home screen on Android or iPhone and get a notification for each new chat.

Ad blockers

It doesn't get hidden by ad blockers.

AdGuard's widget list blocks Crisp's script, so some of your visitors never see the chat at all. Pidge loads from your own subdomain, like chat.yoursite.com. We run every request it makes through 14 filter lists, and none of them block it.

  • EasyList
  • EasyPrivacy
  • Fanboy's Annoyances
  • uBlock Origin filters
  • uBlock Origin privacy
  • uBlock Origin annoyances
  • AdGuard Base
  • AdGuard Tracking Protection
  • AdGuard Widgets
  • Brave
  • Also uBlock badware and quick fixes, AdGuard's other annoyances list and Peter Lowe's list.

Moving from Crisp

  1. Replace the script tag. The $crisp.push(…) calls on your site keep working, signed emails too.
  2. Point your backend at the new API URL with a new key. Paths, auth, webhook events and signatures are the same as Crisp's.
  3. Open the inbox on your phone and turn on notifications.

<script src="https://client.crisp.chat/l.js" async></script>

<!-- after -->
<script src="https://chat.yoursite.com/client/l.js" async></script>

Questions

Will our Crisp integrations keep working?

Yes. Pidge has the same REST paths and Basic auth as Crisp, sends the same webhook events with the same signatures, and the widget accepts your $crisp.push calls as they are. You change the base URL and the key.

Where is the chat data stored?

On servers in the EU, with a continuous backup to separate storage. Files sent in chats are backed up the same way.

Can one inbox cover several websites?

Yes. Each website has its own widget, colours and domains, and your team answers all of them from one list.

Is there an iPhone app?

You add the inbox to your home screen from the browser, on iPhone or Android, and it sends notifications like an app. There's nothing to install from an app store.

When can we start?

We're adding websites a few at a time. Join the waitlist and we'll email you when there's room for yours.
