Notes d’évaluation

Userlike (Cologne, Germany; founded ~2011 by Timoor Taufig and David Voswinkel as Userlike UG / Lime Connect (Userlike) GmbH; HRB 73211 AG Köln) is now operated by Lime Technologies AB (the Swedish CRM group publicly listed on Nasdaq Stockholm) under the Lime Connect brand (userlike.com 301-redirects to connect.lime-technologies.com). Made-in-Germany live-chat platform with AI capabilities; the post-acquisition structure gives Userlike clean EU public-listed parent ownership (Swedish Lime parent) and German engineering operations. EU-owned via the Swedish-listed Lime parent, with a public DPA on record (Userlike-DPA_20230505.pdf). The vendor states that all chat data sits on servers within Germany on ISO 27001-certified infrastructure, and the Lime Connect privacy policy now names its recipients (Hetzner for IT systems, 360dialog GmbH and Meta Platforms Ireland on the WhatsApp path, AWS for CDN / SES / DNS, plus website and billing processors). Gaps: the LLM vendor behind Connect AI is still undisclosed, no data-centre city is published, and the DPA is now routed through a request webform rather than a linked download.

À propos de Userlike (Lime Connect)

Userlike is a Cologne-headquartered German live-chat and customer-messaging platform founded around 2011 by Timoor Taufig and David Voswinkel, operating as Userlike UG / Lime Connect (Userlike) GmbH (Cologne, HRB 73211, Amtsgericht Köln). Historically positioned as a "made-in-Germany" alternative to Intercom and Drift with strong DACH-market traction and DSGVO-aligned engineering culture. The product surface covers live chat, AI chatbots, multi-channel inbox (WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Telegram), and contact-centre integrations.

Userlike is now operated by Lime Technologies AB (the Swedish CRM group publicly listed on Nasdaq Stockholm) under the Lime Connect brand. The userlike.com domain 301-redirects to connect.lime-technologies.com at audit time, confirming the post-acquisition consolidation. CEO transition has occurred: as of recent reporting Pascal van Opzeeland holds the CEO role, while the original co-founders (Voswinkel previously held just under 49% of shares in April 2021, Taufig just under 44%) have presumably sold the majority of their stakes to Lime as part of the acquisition. Lime Technologies AB is widely-held on the Swedish public market (no US-PE controlling interest), which keeps the post-acquisition listing firmly eu_owned.

Pricing is freemium and quoted in euro as plan totals with a seat minimum rather than per seat: Free at €0 (1 seat, 1 channel, 200 conversations), Pro from 87 € per month on annual billing (€105 billed monthly, minimum 3 seats) and Enterprise on request with a minimum of 5 seats. AI is a paid opt-in add-on rather than a bundled default, Connect AI Agent from €99 per month and Connect AI Copilot from €19 per seat per month, both Pro and Enterprise only, which makes this the one listing in the category where an EU buyer can decline the AI layer and keep the product. Best fit: German and DACH SMBs and mid-market customers needing live chat + AI chatbot with explicit German engineering heritage; existing Lime CRM customers extending into customer-messaging; procurement-grade EU buyers who want a Swedish-public-listed parent over US-VC-funded competitors. Disclosure has improved since the acquisition: the vendor states all chat data sits on servers within Germany on ISO 27001-certified infrastructure, and the privacy policy names Hetzner for IT-system provision alongside 360dialog GmbH and Meta Platforms Ireland on the WhatsApp path and AWS for CDN, email and DNS. Gaps remain: the ISO 27001 belongs to the servers rather than to Lime Connect as an entity, no data-centre city is published, the LLM behind Connect AI is still unnamed, and the DPA is now routed through a request webform rather than a linked download.
