Knocket, Drift, and Intercom overlap on the surface — a chat widget on your website — but sit in different categories. Knocket's differentiators are self-serve setup in 60 seconds, live chat baked into a shareable contact page, and Telegram push with quote-reply so you can answer from your phone. Drift may be a better fit if you're running B2B ABM at mid-market scale and want a sales-led motion with Salesforce/Marketo routing.
