Our Take
CrowdHandler, based in Birmingham, was rated 4.9 on G2 when we checked in September 2026, ranking third on Easiest To Use and fifth on Highest Rated. It is the only provider in the group with both a full Shopify App and a complete price list on its own website, running from a free Lite tier to $5,600 a month. Every tier includes unlimited sessions, runs month to month with no contract, and caps the number of visitors waiting at once, from 100 to 100,000.
