What do you like best about Gist?

I DEEPLY have appreciated Gist's timely support. Their tools and the platform are always improving. You're definitely in good hands with the Gist team! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gist?

I wish that Gist had more integrations with other tools like Thrivecart, which I use. But, I'm VERY grateful that I can get by using Gist's HTML codes to integrate with other tools. It is how I'm able to connect with Thrivecart. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Gist:

I highly recommend using Gist. It has so many tools that other autoresponders just don't have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gist solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have a reliable email automation service. Thankfully, I heard about Gist in the early days and got a lifetime plan. Super grateful to have this. It also gives me a wonderful chat box for my website. It helps me automate much of my customer onboarding experience through emails after they purchase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gist offers an affordable pricing plan with rich tools to boost your business. It can help use for customer support by livechat, nurture lead, email marketing. We also can set up the workflow to automate the process from the time user opt-in to sales. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gist?

Cannot use embed form to my landing page. We can use popup form or Welcome Matt, but there're some use cases that we need to embed our form. We can easily do this with Hubspot. Hope Gist will implement this feature soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gist solving and how is that benefiting you?

With me, Gist is a CRM to capture lead, customer support and sales. I have to used Hubspot but it's quite expensive. Gist offers mostly the same features with very affordable price (I owned a lifetime deal). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gist?

Gist's messenger is especially powerful and I love that I can embed it on not only my website, but other subdomains on my site. Makes it so my visitors can get ahold of me on the fly--and I get notifications by email and on my phone. I can also set up automations so the bot asks questions to try and help the visitor before they need human interaction. Really nice! I also like that Gist has full email marketing--automations, tags, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gist?

Gist has a generous free plan, but to take advantage of Gist all over the web and integrate it with other services, only paid accounts in Gist have the ability to use webhooks. This means lower cost services won't integrate easily and it creates a bit of a mess trying to keep contacts in sync across multiple services unless you're willing to pay. But truly $29/mo isn't bad! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gist solving and how is that benefiting you?

Gist allows me to be available to my customers EASILY and keeps me from needing to rely on email alone to communicate. The messenger bot has surprisingly become the #1 way my visitors want to communicate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Gist:

What problems is Gist solving and how is that benefiting you?

Some customers are more comfortable chatting like text messaging rather than calling up a business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gist?

GIST automation capabilities are excellent, even at the lower price points. These features immensely helped me as a more recent business with not lots of upfront capital. I also benefit from the smooth integration with WordPress. I am recommending GIST for being a professional chat, email marketing, and CRM option. Chat is handy and valuable.
