ZChat 2.0 Self-Hosted Live Chat Own the software. Own the data.

Features

Complete product, owned by you

One license. Full feature set. No hosted lock-in.

ZChat is self-hosted live chat software for teams that want modern support tooling without recurring hosted-seat pricing. You buy the software once, deploy it on infrastructure you control, and keep the data, branding, routing, and AI decisions inside your own stack.

Own the deployment

Run on Windows or Linux, in containers, or behind the web stack you already trust.

Bring your own AI

Use OpenAI, Claude, Ollama, or no AI at all. ZChat does not force a provider or markup.

Support teams move faster

Operators get live chat, routing, transcripts, analytics, and visitor context in one owned system.
