Common problems for startups teams
Enterprise tools are overkill
Zendesk's $115/seat tier has 400 features you'll never use.
Per-seat pricing caps your hiring
You're about to hire 3 support agents — that's $345/month on Zendesk, $222 on Intercom.
Onboarding takes weeks
Enterprise tools require consultants, implementation fees, and SOW negotiations.
You need AI, not legacy
Legacy tools bolt on AI as a premium add-on. Modern tools build with it.
How Helpzen solves it
Launch in 15 minutes
Sign up, connect email, install widget, go. Zero sales calls, no implementation fees.
Flat $39/month, forever
Hire 3 or 30 agents — same price. Plus a free self-host option for bootstrappers.
AI-first architecture
Auto-reply, drafts, and routing powered by AI — included, not a premium add-on.
YC / startup-friendly
