The best floating button software of 2026

Chaty puts one floating button in the corner of your site that opens into the channels you choose: WhatsApp, Messenger, Telegram, Line, WeChat, email, SMS, a phone call or a contact form. Premio's plugin has 300,000+ active installs on WordPress.org and a 5 out of 5 rating from 1,245 reviews, the strongest record of any button here.

The free version goes further than most. You can add unlimited channels from a list of 25, set the position and call-to-action text, show different channels on mobile and desktop, and use attention effects or a pending-message badge to get the button noticed. It also includes a WhatsApp pop-up and a contact form.

Pro costs $59 a year for one site, $89 for two years or $169 for a lifetime license, with a 30-day money-back guarantee. It adds multiple widgets, chat agents (a separate sales and support contact on WhatsApp, for example), targeting by page, country, traffic source and day and hour, start and end dates, click analytics, Google Analytics tracking, contact form leads sent to email and Mailchimp and Klaviyo integrations. The order page also sells licenses for 5, 50, 500 and 1,000 sites.

Choose it if you run WordPress and want visitors to reach you on whichever app they prefer.

Skip it if your site isn't on WordPress; Premio's Chaty page describes the WordPress plugin only.

Buttonizer does more than open a chat. Each button, or each item in a floating menu, can run one of more than 45 actions: WhatsApp, Messenger, Telegram, Signal, Slack and Microsoft Teams, click to call, email and SMS, Google Maps and Waze, social sharing, print page, copy page URL, scroll to a section, back to top, or open a Poptin, Popup Maker or Elementor pop-up. You can group several buttons into one menu in four styles (default, pop, corner circle and square).

The WordPress plugin has 70,000+ active installs and a 4.5 rating from 151 reviews, and Buttonizer also lists versions for Shopify, Wix, Webflow, Magento, PrestaShop, Drupal and any other site through a code snippet. The free account includes unlimited buttons and groups, show or hide by device, Google Analytics click tracking and a free live chat from Formilla. Page rules, time schedules, exit intent, an iframe widget and custom JavaScript are Pro features.

Buttonizer shows its paid prices only inside its dashboard, so open a free account to see them before you upgrade. Its FAQ offers a full refund within 14 days.

Choose it if you want one corner menu that holds chat, directions and sharing, or your site isn't on WordPress.

Skip it if you want to see the price before you sign up. Chaty and Call Now Button publish theirs.

Joinchat is the most installed button in this guide, with 700,000+ active installs on WordPress.org and a 4.7 rating from 189 reviews. It does one thing: a floating WhatsApp button. On a phone, the button opens the WhatsApp app; on a desktop, it shows a QR code so the visitor can carry on from their phone.

The free plugin lets you add a greeting or an offer above the button, and it can start the chat with a message that names the page or product the visitor was looking at. On WooCommerce, it adds a contact button to product pages. It counts clicks itself and sends events to Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager and the Meta Pixel.

Premium is sold as an annual subscription that renews automatically, with a 14-day money-back guarantee. It adds chat funnels, support agents and showing or hiding by country, and Premium Plus adds lead capture, webhooks to Zapier, Make, n8n and Google Sheets, and Google Ads conversion tracking. Joinchat lists Premium prices in euros only. An OmniChannel add-on brings Telegram, Messenger, SMS and Instagram.

Choose it if your customers message you on WhatsApp and you run WordPress or WooCommerce.

Skip it if you need several channels on the free plan. Chaty offers 25.

If your best leads phone you, this is the simplest way to get more calls from mobile visitors. Call Now Button has 200,000+ active installs on WordPress.org and a 4.8 rating from 102 reviews.

The free plugin needs no account. It adds one call button with your own label and colors, in any of eight screen positions, shown on mobile, desktop or both, on the pages you choose. It tracks clicks in Google Analytics and as Google Ads conversions, which helps if you pay for Google Ads.

A free NowButtons account raises the limit to five buttons, one visible per page, and adds SMS, email, maps, links, scroll, WhatsApp and Messenger actions. Pro adds up to 200 buttons with several on one page, multi-action layouts such as a button bar, a WhatsApp chat window, a weekly scheduler that hides the call button when you're closed, country targeting and buttons that appear after scrolling. Pro costs $7.99 a month or $49.90 a year per website, with a 14-day free trial, and an account plan covers 20 sites for $499 a year.

Choose it if you run a service business and want phone calls during opening hours.

Skip it if you want chat apps on the free plan without creating an account; Chaty includes them in the plugin.

Elfsight builds widgets you paste into any site, so it suits builders that don't take WordPress plugins. Elfsight lists 22 platforms for its WhatsApp Chat widget, including Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Webflow, Weebly, Google Sites and GoDaddy. The widget puts a WhatsApp button on your pages, opens the chat in the visitor's own WhatsApp, and can show a chat prompt on triggers such as exit intent or time on page.

The free plan has no time limit but covers only 200 views a month and one widget, and it shows Elfsight branding. Basic costs $5 a month billed yearly for 5,000 views and 3 widgets, and Pro costs $10 a month billed yearly for 50,000 views. Elfsight says passing the monthly view limit temporarily turns your widget off, so price the plan from your real traffic. A 96 Apps Pack, from $15 a month billed yearly, adds reviews, forms and other Elfsight widgets if you need them.

Choose it if you run Wix, Squarespace or another hosted builder and want a WhatsApp button without code.

Skip it if your site gets more than a few hundred visits a month and you want to stay free.

GetButton, from GetButton Apps Oy, gives you one chat button that opens WhatsApp, Messenger, Discord or an AI chatbot. You pick the button style, left or right position, which way the channels open and whether it shows on desktop or mobile. A greeting message can appear after a delay you set, as often as every page load or once a day.

GetButton sells licenses per domain: $4.99 a month billed yearly, or $149 once for a lifetime license. That is the lowest one-time price in this guide, and it works on sites that aren't on WordPress. It has a Shopify app and a WordPress plugin, and any other site can paste a code snippet before the closing body tag.

The catch is that most styling sits behind the paid license, including custom colors, hover text, pre-filled messages, agent names and avatars, and the QR code. GetButton's page does not describe a free version of the button.

Choose it if you want a simple multi-channel button on one domain and prefer to pay once.

Skip it if you want to try a full button free first. Chaty, Buttonizer and Joinchat all have free plans.
