LiveCall vs Surfly

LiveCall is a video calling platform for B2C services, with distinct roles for users, staff, and administrators. The maker presents it for online customer service, remote support, unattended counters, signage, on-site inspections, and identity verification. Customers can start calls in a computer or smartphone browser without downloading an app. Calling features include video and audio, real-time operator availability, automatic routing, screen sharing, chat, and file sending. Reservation tools cover configurable menus, staff assignment, proxy booking, questionnaires, and automatic email reminders. Administrators can manage staff, reservations, products, sales, branding, and call monitoring, then download call, user, reservation, and sales data as CSV or Excel. Recording, monitoring, setup support, and group calls are optional features. LiveCall connects with company apps and other systems through API and data integrations; Google Analytics tracking can also be embedded. The free plan includes one service URL and one user account. Standard and Pro allow unlimited URLs and accounts, with monthly fees depending on their number.

Surfly adds real-time co-browsing to websites, platforms, and apps, letting participants collaborate in a shared web session. Participants join through a browser without installing plugins or downloading software. The collaboration tools include video calls, e-signatures, annotations, control switching, and masking for fields or page elements. Surfly lists integrations with Salesforce, Zendesk, Cisco Finesse, NICE CXone, and Amazon Connect, plus JavaScript and REST APIs, an embed API, and webhooks. Deployment options include public cloud, private cloud, and on-premise, with on-premise sessions running on the customer's infrastructure. Surfly says it uses TLS 1.3 and SHA-256 encryption in transit and does not store personal or session data on disk. It describes itself as AICPA SOC compliant, ISO/IEC 27001 certified, and HIPAA compliant. A free plan allows five sessions per month; paid plans have unlimited sessions. A 14-day trial is available, but starting it involves a demo and help from Surfly's team. Social media sites including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube are restricted on the free plan and trial.
