Speechbox Chat
Speechbox is a free chat widget for a website, blog, or shop. It is meant to add a personal shoutbox-style chat area on a site so visitors can talk there directly rather than using other services. The service says it is for building community and increasing user engagement on a site’s own terms.
The widget includes a customization menu, website color matching, emoji and smiley support, simple text formatting with Markdown, web URL recognition and linking, basic spam protection, user banning, curse word obfuscation, message deletion, and an RSS feed. It also offers unobtrusive ads in the free version, no marketing cookies, no external scripts, and no user tracking. The premium version adds automatic realtime refresh of messages, image uploads, advanced customization features, custom smileys, new message notifications, advanced spam protection, email support, and access to messaging statistics.
Speechbox can be added to WordPress through a plugin. The setup flow described on the site is to install the Speechbox Chat plugin, connect or create a free account, and let the chatbox appear automatically on the WordPress site. It can be displayed as a popup or by shortcode, and it is available on WordPress.org. The site also says the widget is free forever, with a premium upgrade priced at $3 USD per month when billed monthly or $36 billed yearly. The company states that it was made in Hamburg, Germany.
