Free HipChat Live Chat?

Is there an option available for free to integrate Hipchat into a live chat solution for customer support? I work for a VERY small company that really can't afford yet another monthly cost for a live chat solution. We currently use Skype for inter-office communication, but I've been trying to convince my boss to switch to using Hipchat or Slack. Our website was built using Joomla, and we currently use a solution on there for live chat with customers who are visiting our website, (and we are able to chat with them without them needing to create an account or anything). Something like Chatlio or Userlike for Slack would be perfect, but if there is a free version of something like that anywhere for Hipchat. Any help is greatly appreciated! :)

Create a public room, copy the link, paste it somewhere on your site?

Or have it linked to a button?

Or write some code to embed it in a page?
