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

No long contracts. Month-to-month billing. Scale up or down any time.
