I believe that buyers should beware! In my experience, Kayako will get you in and then attempt to lock in contracts with price increases of 200% percent in a year and not notify you until after the renewal date and attempt to force continued use based on exit clauses. I believe they also manipulate contract dates to short-change clients.
