Zendesk Alternative: Why go with DelightChat?

Would you want to use a help desk software that’s not even made for ecommerce? Try DelightChat today!

Great DTC brands trust us with their customer support

What's the difference between Zendesk and DelightChat?

Zendesk is a generic one size fits all support tool for any and every industry you can think of. It isn’t made for ecommerce. And this means it doesn’t take into account the unique problems and specific needs of your ecommerce business.

On the other hand, DelightChat was made to solve the customer support management issues an SME ecommerce business face. Our robust set of features like team collaboration, conversation-first approach, deep Shopify integration enable us to provide the best possible solution for budding DTC companies like yours.

Use an affordable support tool built specifically for ecommerce.

DelightChat gives all its features to all users, across all plans. No restrictions, no breaking the bank.

What are the most important features of an ecommerce support tool?

The most important features for a DTC brand looking to streamline their support and provide their customers with the best possible experience are:

An omnichannel help desk to manage support across platforms.
Deep Shopify Integration to find all your customer information up-to-date and in one place where you can make changes from directly within the app.
A Shared inbox to easily collaborate by tagging, assigning conversations, sharing screenshots, etc. with your team.
Fast replies to easily customize pre-made templates and improve first response times.
Collision detection to avoid multiple agents responding to the same customer.

Both Zendesk and DelightChat have all the above features.
‍
But unlike on Zendesk, you can add unlimited users and multiple stores across all DelightChat plans.

Who is DelightChat for?

DelightChat is support software built for small and medium-sized ecommerce businesses.

It comes with all the features (like omnichannel helpdesk, team collaboration, deep integrations with Shopify, etc.) a small ecommerce brand needs to efficiently manage support.

Zendesk is a generic support tool tailored for enterprises with large support teams.

However, it does come with most features you’ll need to manage your ecommerce support.

But even though the features are near-identical, Zendesk is significantly more expensive than DelightChat across plans.

Does DelightChat have free plans?

DelightChat does not have a free plan, the cheapest plan starts at $40/month for unlimited users. It also comes with a free 14-day trial.

Is DelightChat cheaper than Zendesk?

Yes, DelightChat is significantly cheaper than Zendesk with pricing plans made for small and medium DTC brands.

Zendesk’s cheapest plan starts at $49/user/month while their most advanced plan starts at $215/agent/month. This means that even with just a handful of agents, you’re looking at paying an exorbitant amount on Zendesk.

What kind of support can I expect from DelightChat?

We treat our customers like VIPs, the same way you treat your customers. The same exceptional support is included in all our plans.

We usually respond to queries within an hour, with a maximum turnaround time of 12 hours.
