    Help.com
    Help.com is well suited for companies with sales and support departments who have the employee size to manage and respond to visitors chatting. I think a less appropriate scenario would be a company that does not have the employee size to manage the inbound chats as it makes it less valuable if you cannot interact quickly.

    Help.com

    Help.com stacks up against competitors with their pricing, interface, features and support. I have used similar products in the past but Help.com is by far the best solution. I highly encourage you to use Help.com for your business and see for yourself why they are the best option for you.

    • The most notable positive impact that we have experienced were during the pandemic. When the world as we know if shut down LiveHelpNow gave us a much needed way for us to stay in contact with our customers. Our hold times for phone support was at an all time high. Having LiveHelpNow allowed many many customers to receive assistance for minor issues without the frustration of calling in.
