Same content, no navigation, no styling, no scripts. Links below point at other twins. Site map for machines: [llms.txt](../llms.txt). The whole dataset: [directory.json](../data/directory.json).* *Maintained by Andrew McGuire (https://andrewcmcguire.com), who also publishes https://gtmsignals.co and https://justsaid.ai.* --- [Directory](../index.md) / [By category](index.md) / Inbound & PLG Chat **14 · inbound-plg-chat** ## Inbound & PLG Chat Tools that sit on the receiving end of demand - website chat that qualifies and books a visitor before a human ever joins, in-app signal tools that turn free-trial usage into a sales-ready account, and the newer wave of AI-SDR-for-inbound entrants trying to do both. The defining tension: this category has an unusually high mortality rate. Of the ten seed tools researched for this file, three (Pocus, Correlated, Toplyne) are confirmed dead or absorbed and two more (Drift, Ultimate.ai) are folded into an acquirer's platform rather than sold standalone - suggesting "PLG signal tool" and "chat widget" were never durable categories on their own, just features that bigger platforms eventually swallowed. - **entries in this file**: 57 - **Official MCP**: 11 - **Community MCP**: 8 - **MCP unknown**: 1 - **MCP not applicable**: 1 - **No MCP found**: 36 - **ship a CLI (official) as of 2026-09-27**: 9 - **Free to start**: 4 - **Paid, self-serve**: 6 - **Enterprise only**: 3 - **Gate unknown**: 40 - **Gate not applicable**: 4 Source file: 14-inbound-plg-chat.md · content sha256 82d247bebb5d342a... · counts reconciled against tools_recount.py at build time. - [The 19 with an MCP server](../lists/mcp-inbound-plg-chat.md) - [Answer an inbound chat or call](../jobs/answer-inbound-chat.md) - [Book a meeting](../jobs/book-a-meeting.md) - [Score and prioritize leads](../jobs/score-and-prioritize-leads.md) - [Research an account before a call](../jobs/research-account-for-call-prep.md) - [Jotform](../tools/jotform.md) jotform.com An online form builder (forms, approvals, tables, e-sign, payment collection and conversational "AI Agents") with a REST API and a hosted MCP server.
