Kayako Alternative

The Best Kayako Alternative for Solo SaaS Founders

Kayako is a mature customer service platform — but it is designed for enterprise teams and priced accordingly at $60/seat. There is no changelog, no feature request board, and no GitHub integration. ShipTell is what you choose when you want the discipline of a proper support inbox without the enterprise overhead.
