So... is there an admin? If so, wouldn't it be nice to see it before signing up? Or maybe getting a full list of features? details? Cause ah... otherwise this is just a js popup on the corner of my screen.

Yeah there is of course. Your right we could do a better job of explaining the exact features, ill see if we can get some screenshots or maybe a demo added.

In a nutshell the admin allows you to customise the widget, manage the content for each of the pages and view stats related to users (on which pages users click the widget more than often, what messages they have sent to you etc)

On the user side though it is just a little js widget, the aim is to force simplicity on that front.

Thanks for replying. Everything nowadays is a subscription... you can subscribe to a car for a crying out loud. So even though from a development stand point $5 seems like a small commitment, from a client point of view it's another item I need to subscribe to, and there are far more important apps I'm already committed to, that allows me to run my business. So at the end of the day, the more information I have to make an informed decision, the better.
