No clunky iframe, no lock-in.\n\nThrough Telegram. You connect your Telegram once, and from then on every visitor message is forwarded to you there. You reply in Telegram like a normal chat, and your answer appears in the visitor's chat on your site instantly.\n\nNo. That's the whole point. There's no separate inbox or app to keep open — you live in the Telegram you already check all day. A small web dashboard exists for configuration, but you don't need it open to chat.\n\nAbout 30 seconds. Add one <script> tag to your site, connect Telegram, and the chat bubble is live on every page. No build step, no backend.\n\nNo. The script is under ~5kb, loads after your page, and isn't a clunky iframe. It won't block first paint or drag down your Core Web Vitals.\n\nIf your site renders HTML, Eloqra works. Paste the snippet into Next.js, Webflow, WordPress, Astro, Framer, or a plain HTML file. No framework lock-in.\n\nIt's a lighter one. Eloqra does one thing well — live chat that routes to your phone via Telegram — without per-seat pricing, bots you have to train, or a heavy help-desk suite. If you just want to talk to your visitors, it's a fraction of the cost.\n\nYes. Turn on the optional pre-chat form to collect a name and email before the chat starts. Every message also arrives with the page, device, and country attached, so you always have context.\n\nFree while we're in early access — no credit card to start. When paid plans arrive they'll add things on top; they won't take away what you're already using.\n\nI built Eloqra because I wanted to talk to people on my sites without signing into yet another dashboard. I already live in Telegram all day — so why not let visitor messages just come to me there?\n\nThat’s the whole idea: one tiny snippet on your site, every message in your Telegram, and you reply from your phone. No heavy help desk, no per-seat pricing, no tab you have to babysit.\n\nMost live chat tools are built for big support teams and priced that way. For a solo founder, a freelancer, or a small team, that never made sense to me — so I made the simple version I actually wanted to use, and kept it free to start.\n\nI have a 9-to-5, but I build small projects like this on the side — basically, infrastructure for founders. Eloqra is one piece. Skribra, a blog writer, is another.\n\nEnjoy the app, and if you need anything, reach out on X or by email.
