Which one is for you

- Works for mid-size and larger teams that expect a sales conversation first
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want a price from the site, as none is published
- Skip it if you're a very small team, as the pricing flow asks for company size and volume and hands you to sales
- Watch out: voice, SMS and WhatsApp are pay as you go, not part of a package
- Watch out: the HIPAA subscription and implementation are add-ons, and some setup may need an implementation fee
Pick TeamSupport if
- Fits if you run B2B support and want warning signs on unhappy customers
- Works for a team of up to 5 on Starter
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want clear prices, because the page does not say if they are per user or per account
- Pricey if you want live chat, as it is $15 a month an agent on every plan

- Watch out: data import with their help is $1,000 per 5,000 records, and training runs $1,000 to $2,000
- Skip it if you want a trial, as none is listed

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
