Help Scout vs SupportBee: What are the differences?
Help Scout: A help desk for teams that insist on a delightful customer experience. With best in-class-reporting, an integrated knowledge base, 50+ integrations and a robust API, Help Scout lets your team focus on what really matters: your customers; SupportBee: The easiest way to manage customer support emails. SupportBee intentionally mimics the email experience because both your team and your customers already understand email well. Tickets in SupportBee are either Unanswered or Answered. When they are created, they are unanswered. Once you reply, they are marked answered and taken off the screen for you to focus on the remaining unanswered tickets. If a customer replies, we mark the ticket unanswered again. You can also star a ticket if you have answered it but want to follow up later.
Help Scout and SupportBee can be primarily classified as "Help Desk" tools.
Some of the features offered by Help Scout are:
- No ticket #'s or robo-text
- Get up and running in minutes
- Outstanding support, no matter plan
On the other hand, SupportBee provides the following key features:
- Handle Multiple Email Addresses
- HTML Email Ticketing
- Lightning Fast Email Importing
We needed a sophisticated help center solution as we provide extensive support with 3 support team tiers. Intercom is more about messaging and automation. We needed sub-tickets, tasks, reminders, SLAs, automation, and strong API connections. That's why we have chosen Zendesk and we are quite happy with that.
