Q: Are there any plans to remove the 'Powered by Kotae' branding for AppSumo users in the future?

The branding is a deal breaker for me, especially since many free alternatives like Tawk.to also include branding, making it hard to justify the upgrade.

A: Hi there!
Thanks so much for your feedback and for sharing your concerns.
It’s always super valuable for us to hear what matters most to our users.

At the moment, the option to remove the “Powered by Kotae” branding is only available on our regular enterprise plan. We totally understand how important this is for some businesses, and it’s definitely something we’re keeping in mind as we get more feedback from the community.

Regarding the comparison with Tawk.to: you’re absolutely right, they offer a solid free chat interface! The key difference is that Tawk.to is a traditional live chat. You or your team need to be online to respond in real time. Kotae, on the other hand, is a fully AI-powered support assistant that learns from your website and materials, answers questions automatically, and saves you hours of manual work. Plus, Kotae offers advanced analytics and insights that aren’t available with most traditional chat tools.

We completely support free solutions like Tawk.to and know they’re perfect for a lot of users. However, if you’re looking for AI automation and smarter support with less manual effort, Kotae might be the better fit.

Thanks again for your feedback. It really helps us prioritize future updates. If you have any other thoughts or questions, we’re all ears!
