"Easy, effective, and converting"

"Best Knowledge-base I've seen... but that's just one feature! "
What do you like best about HelpCrunch?

- Customisable, user-friendly knowledgebase - Clean modern interface - An excellent suite of features - Responsive and helpful support team

What do you dislike about HelpCrunch?

Nothing major, but I would like to see these two features added: - SSL built-in when setting up a knowledge base with custom domains - A stand-alone knowledgebase search widget option for embedding in apps (with the option to disable)

What problems is HelpCrunch solving and how is that benefiting you?

I found HelpCrunch while trying to find a Knowledgebase solution that was modern and easy to customize. HelpCrunch was the best of the bunch (out of many big name options) with great features such as 'failed searches' and article reactions - awesome to know that it can also take care of our other marketing and support needs as we grow! I can't wait to see how the platform develops.

What do you like best about HelpCrunch?

- The ease to communicate with my customers - The pricing which is much cheaper that what we found in other solutions on the market - Lots of widget customization options - Easy to setup

What do you dislike about HelpCrunch?

Helpcrunch does not provide all the features you find in some other products, but I don't really miss them.

What problems is HelpCrunch solving and how is that benefiting you?

It makes communication with my customers so much easier and prospects are faster triggered by the auto-messages

"Very easy to learn and integrate"
What do you like best about HelpCrunch?

Our sales team had no problem learning and adopting HelpCrunch in their work. The UI is so intuitive that you can start working effectively from day one.

What do you dislike about HelpCrunch?

Nothing, so far the HelpCrunch tool has been even exceeding our expectations.

What problems is HelpCrunch solving and how is that benefiting you?

We made HelpCrunch the primary communication tool for our sales team. It is the space where customers can contact the company for assistance.

"easy to install live website chat with file exchange included"
What do you like best about HelpCrunch?

I can chat with customers on my website from by mobile phone with the HelpCrunch app and exchange files with them.

What do you dislike about HelpCrunch?

some corporate networks such as my workplace block HelpCrunch. But this is not a problem because no one at my workplace is a targeted customer of my website. My website targets individuals not corporations.

What problems is HelpCrunch solving and how is that benefiting you?

I wanted to be able to quickly answer questions from the customer about my consulting services and exchange files with them if needed.

"Easy to setup and use"
What do you like best about HelpCrunch?

There is not a lot of configuring to do other than choosing some color options and putting in business information. Very easy to setup.

What do you dislike about HelpCrunch?

I do wish there was more customization options but I'm happy with things even without it.

What problems is HelpCrunch solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's an easy way to provide support for my membership sites.

"Excellent Solution"
What do you like best about HelpCrunch?

Simple set up with basic features, multitudes of layers to design a campaign of communications with your customer.

What do you dislike about HelpCrunch?

Would like to see real time visitor details.

What problems is HelpCrunch solving and how is that benefiting you?

Chat during business hours has become a very stable and consistent method to speak with our customers. Very fast, always on, ready to perform that hand off perfectly. Customers exit informed and don't seem to have any issues responding to us through the system. We have used about 4 different chat options over the last 6 years, until we found HelpCrunch.

"Definitely a must have"
What do you like best about HelpCrunch?

I wanted this extension for my website for a while. The best in one word : simplicity. You put one piece of code in your website and you are good to go ! The little window appears on the bottom corner and anyone can chat with you ! Incredible. There are many options that make life easier in the settings.

What do you dislike about HelpCrunch?

Nothing to talk about here. I'm trying, but no, really, nothing...

What problems is HelpCrunch solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can reach to my clients very easily, I don't miss the call anymore.

"All-in-one customer support"
What do you like best about HelpCrunch?

Helpcrunch is a great combination of supporting customers through live chat, keeping them updated through emails and guiding and supporting them through knowledge base. We can even automate the workflow and monitor the performance of the application and leads.

What do you dislike about HelpCrunch?

Hardly anything but looking forward to the upcoming features and integrations. I am particularly interested in seeing it graduate to an omni-channel tool.

What problems is HelpCrunch solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helpcrunch is a wonderful tool to resolve issues and support customers. The data insights are helpful in taking the right decisions and nurturing the leads.

"Great alternative to Intercom"
What do you like best about HelpCrunch?

Cost-effective solution for those after a comprehensive support system, but don't want to pay a premium like Intercom.

What do you dislike about HelpCrunch?

The Mobile app isn't quite as intuitive and user-friendly. It would be great to have the same ease of inserting articles etc on the app, as you can do on the web browser.

What problems is HelpCrunch solving and how is that benefiting you?

Saving a lot of money! You don't need to pay $200 USD + each month for a customer support system.

"Great Alternative to Intercom"
What do you like best about HelpCrunch?

HelpCrunch is a completely transparent company that has a great support team and well-built products (live chat, knowledge base, automated messages). They have set pricing which isn't based on your active user count so you're going to save a lot of money per month in comparison to Intercom.

What do you dislike about HelpCrunch?

The only negatives I could provide in comparison to Intercom is the lack of Integrations and chat widget marketing options. HelpCrunch is constantly rolling out new features at no extra cost so I wouldn't be surprised if this is in the pipeline.

What problems is HelpCrunch solving and how is that benefiting you?

We mainly use HelpCrunch to provide live support for customers and visitors, the addition of automated messages/emails is excellent and helps to streamline our support system.

"Better value than LiveChat for what I needed"
What do you like best about HelpCrunch?

Most important feature for me was being able to customise the widget for different domains. Many live chat-type programs have this but the pricing (for example on LiveChat) for this feature is way too high. Customisable widgets is still a premium feature on HelpCrunch but the price for their premium package was virtually the same as the most basic (uncustomisable) LiveChat package.

What do you dislike about HelpCrunch?

It would seem fairer to me if the pricing was based on per 'live/logged in' user, not per registered user. HelpCrunch suggested that I could keep enabling and disabling users but I didn't want to do this. In the end, it was still *much* cheaper than my LiveChat package for the features I wanted to it still made sense to switch.

What problems is HelpCrunch solving and how is that benefiting you?

Way more features for the same price compared to other systems. HelpCrunch's Premium package (which has everything we need) is the same price as the basic package of other systems which don't offer the customisation I need.

"Started with a free trial, now buying all-in-one premium plan"
What do you like best about HelpCrunch?

The set is the support team. Always available, attentive and professional. Thank you, guys.

What do you dislike about HelpCrunch?

Using this service for 6+ months, can not notice something substantial. All problems are related to a bad Internet connection.

What problems is HelpCrunch solving and how is that benefiting you?

We used another service and separate from it because of security issues. This one has no major vulnerabilities. At least I did not find info on the forums.

"Competitively priced ticket sorting and live chat system "
What do you like best about HelpCrunch?

Our company switched to HelpCrunch from Zendesk. Initially the reason was the price; it was 3 times more affordable than our previous plan. After 1 month with HelpCrunch we appreciate in-app messages: the main contract of the month signed after a conversation in the chat with a client.

What do you dislike about HelpCrunch?

It takes some time to switch from ZenDesk, there were some mistakes in transition

What problems is HelpCrunch solving and how is that benefiting you?

We decrease operational expenses without the loss of effectiveness. Moreover, we even registered the shorter average time per ticket.

"Switching from Intercom chat"
What do you like best about HelpCrunch?

Very inexpensive compared to Intercom chat, the product quality is great, it's super simple and clean. Also, I love the amount of customization options it provides. Customer support is pretty quick to address our questions and issues, they really listen to our feedback and are open to our suggestions.

What do you dislike about HelpCrunch?

Would be great to see Knowledgebase among Helpcrunch features, they assured me it's coming in the next few months

What problems is HelpCrunch solving and how is that benefiting you?

Switching from Intercom required little effort and the learning curve was almost not there. We saved a lot of customer support cash after to this migration.
