Free tier got us started properly

Used daily for 6–12 months

Two agents, real ticketing, a knowledge base and no credit card. We ran on free for five months before upgrading, by which point we knew exactly which tier we needed. More vendors should do this.

Pros

Genuinely usable free plan. Clean interface my team learned in a day.

Cons

Reporting on lower tiers is preset dashboards only.

Two-thirds of Zendesk for half the money

Used daily for 1–2 years

We evaluated both properly with a 30-ticket simulation. Day-to-day the agent experience is barely distinguishable; the gap is in custom reporting, which we needed less than we thought. Saving roughly $18k a year across our team made the decision easy.

Pros

SLA management and automation at the $15 tier. Free plan let us test with real tickets.

Cons

Custom reports are slower to build. Marketplace is noticeably thinner.

Problems it solves

Got proper ticketing without the enterprise price tag.
