The short answer
Buttonizer puts a floating button or menu in the corner of your site that can open WhatsApp, call your phone, show a contact form, scroll back to the top or launch a pop-up, from a list of more than 40 actions. It runs on WordPress through a plugin and on Shopify, Wix, Webflow and other platforms through a code snippet, and since Formilla bought it in 2024, new accounts also get Formilla's live chat and pop-up builder. The free plan covers unlimited sites but only 5,000 page views a month on each, and page rules and time schedules start on the Growth plan at $10 a month per site. If you only need chat-app buttons on WordPress and would rather pay once, Chaty sells a lifetime license.
Choose it if
- You want one floating menu that holds several actions, such as WhatsApp, click to call, email, Google Maps directions and back to top; the default menu shows up to 7 buttons at once
- Your site isn't on WordPress: Buttonizer has setup pages for Shopify, Wix, Webflow, Magento, Drupal and PrestaShop, plus a code snippet for any other platform
- You want live chat as well as chat-app buttons, since new Buttonizer accounts come with Formilla's live chat widget and its free mobile and desktop apps
- You want different buttons by page, user role or opening hours and can pay $10 a month (or $100 a year) per site for page rules and schedules
- You look after many client sites: the Agency plan shares one page view allowance across unlimited sites, from $29 a month for 250,000 page views
Skip it if
- Your site gets more than 5,000 page views a month and you want to stay on a free plan; Growth covers 50,000 a month for one site
- You want to pay once instead of every month or year; Chaty sells a lifetime license for one WordPress site at $169
- You only need a WhatsApp button on WordPress, which the free Joinchat plugin covers, including a contact button beside Add to cart in WooCommerce
- Your main goal is growing an email list with pop-ups and A/B tests; Convertful is built around that
- You want an AI chatbot included in the price; Formilla's ChatGPT chatbots are a paid add-on
Main features
Floating buttons and menus
Add a single floating button or a menu that opens into several, in styles such as a stack, a quarter circle or a square of sticky buttons on the side of the page. You can place as many groups as you like in different positions.
More than 40 click actions
Buttons can call, email or text you, open WhatsApp, Messenger, Telegram, Signal, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord and other apps, share the page, give Google Maps or Waze directions, scroll to a section, go back to the top, print the page or download a PDF.
WhatsApp, Messenger and Telegram widgets
Show a small chat window on your site before the visitor moves to the app, with your photo and a preset message. WhatsApp can list several numbers for different departments and follow your opening and closing times.
Contact form widget
A built-in form for visitors who would rather write than chat. Paid plans can send each submission to a webhook.
Live chat and pop-ups from Formilla
New accounts get Formilla's live chat with free iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac apps, plus a pop-up builder with templates; the free plan includes 5,000 pop-up views a month. Real-time visitor monitoring needs Formilla's Premium package, and ChatGPT chatbots are a paid add-on.
Filters and schedules
Show or hide each button on mobile or desktop. Paid plans add page rules (URL contains, category, specific page, logged-in users, user role) and schedules by day, date and time, so a call button can give way to a contact form after hours.
Triggers and animations
Bring buttons in on exit intent, after a visitor sits idle, at a scroll depth or after a set number of seconds, with 8 button animations to draw the eye.
Buttonizer Analytics
Counts clicks on every button automatically and keeps 7 days of conversion history on the free plan and 1 month on paid plans. It can also send button events to Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager.
Styling and templates
Pick colors, labels, icons from Font Awesome 4.7 to 7 or your own image, and save button templates to import on your other sites.
JavaScript API
Open or close menus from your own code and react to more than 6 event hooks. Custom JavaScript actions and the iframe widget, which can embed a YouTube video or a Calendly page, are paid features.
