GhostChat is a lightweight live chat widget built for indie hackers and solo founders. The widget is ~10KB gzipped — 20-30x smaller than Intercom, Tidio, or Crisp — and adds zero blocking time to your site.
Replies happen in Gmail. When a visitor messages your site, you get an email notification. Hit Reply in Gmail and your response lands in the visitor's chat widget in real time. No new dashboard to live in.
Zero cookies, zero third-party tracking. No GDPR consent banner needed for the widget itself. Works with WordPress (official plugin), Shopify, Next.js, React, Squarespace, and Wix.
Free forever for 1 site. Pro at $5/mo unlocks 3 sites, 1-year history, WooCommerce context, webhooks, and branding removal. Business at $25/mo supports teams up to 5 agents.
