## Key features

- **Embedded assistant:** A help widget placed in a site or app that shows suggested articles and search, with a JavaScript API for customizing it.
- **Visualizer:** A point-and-click tool for adding contextual helpers and hotspots to pages without code.
- **Hosted knowledge base:** A hosted help site is available, basic on Starter and customized from the Regular plan.
- **Content sync:** Pulls articles from third-party systems such as help desks and WordPress; automatic syncing is a Premium feature.
- **Support ticket modules:** Modules for support tickets, custom forms and ticket deflection let users reach the help desk from inside the assistant.
- **Reporting:** Reporting on how people use the help content is included from the Regular plan.

## Good for

- SaaS teams that want contextual help inside their own product
- Teams already on a help desk whose articles need to be shown in-app
- Small support teams that want a flat monthly fee

## Worth knowing

- Each plan caps team members at 3, 5 or 10; larger needs go through enterprise plans on request.
- Plans include 1,000,000 page views, as stated on the pricing page.
- Reporting, help desk integrations and a customized hosted KB need the Regular plan or higher.
- It is a knowledge base and in-app help layer, not a ticketing system, so it works alongside a help desk.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of Elevio you could make: help center, wiki and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 54 of the 92 other help desk and live chat tools grade higher. It costs $1,500 a year.

- You could make: Help center, wiki and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Freshdesk, Help Scout and Groove among them, and has an API.
- You could not: Hooks into the device itself: widgets.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
