Best help desk for small teams

Help desks that a team of two to twenty can set up in an afternoon, without an admin or a big contract.

  1. Help Scout

    Shared inbox and help center that feels like email

    $25/mo

    Feels like email, so nobody needs training. A good default for teams that answer mostly by email.

  2. Tidio

    Live chat, chatbots and Lyro AI agent for small businesses

    $24.17/mo

    Best when most questions arrive through website chat and you want an AI agent to answer the easy ones.

  3. Freshdesk

    Help desk with ticketing, SLAs and automations

    $19/mo

    The most complete free plan, with room to grow into SLAs and automations.

  4. Zoho Desk

    Context-aware help desk inside the Zoho suite

    $14/mo

    Lowest price for a full ticketing system, especially if you already use Zoho.

  5. Gorgias

    Help desk built for e-commerce stores

    $10/mo

    The pick for Shopify stores: orders and refunds right inside the ticket.
