“The best Helpdesk, I've used”

There's no denying your support inbox is chaos. It's broken for you and your customers.

Managing customer support through email alone is overwhelming. Urgent issues get lost. Assignments are unclear. Customers don't get timely responses.

How many times have you heard:

No amount of folders, flags, or rules can fix your email client.

Email clients are great for personal email, but they simply weren't built to do team-based help desk and customer support work.

You Need a Better Way!

HelpSpot's six superpowers
fix all this and more.

It's hard to imagine going back to a standard email client.

After using HelpSpot for the past 5 years, it's hard to imagine going back to a standard email client. HelpSpot helps us to keep 50,000 vehicles and trailers on the road worldwide.
HelpSpot does what normal email can't!

A word about AI

AI is the buzzword in the help desk software and customer support world right now. But here's our take: the best support will always come from real humans who genuinely care about helping others.

AI can be an incredible sidekick, taking care of the repetitive stuff so your team can focus on what they do best - building meaningful connections with customers.

That's why we're thoughtfully adding AI features to HelpSpot that amplify (not replace) your team's natural talents. AI writing assitance and AI triage are already in place with more exciting tools coming your way throughout 2025.

Amazing customer support

We think we offer the best customer support in the help desk software industry, but don't just take our word for it. You can see our real-time feedback dashboard for yourself.

I have questions about if HelpSpot is right for me...

HelpSpot is different because it keeps help desk software simple and affordable. Unlike complex, overpriced solutions, HelpSpot focuses on essential features—email ticketing, automation, reporting, and self-service—without unnecessary add-ons. Plus, there are no per-ticket fees, making it a cost-effective choice for growing teams.
Yes, HelpSpot is designed to be highly customizable. We offer a range of APIs, integrations, and features that can be tailored to your specific business needs. Our team is also here to help you set up and configure the software to work best for your team. We've had customers build entire custom applications on top of HelpSpot with amazing results.
Since 2005, HelpSpot has been used across a wide range of industries. We've helped everything from small businesses to large enterprises, from non-profits to government agencies. If your team manages support via email, HelpSpot is likely to be a great fit.
It only takes a few minutes to deploy your new HelpSpot and get started. Most customers are up and running with the basics in under 30 minutes. We also offer a free professional onboarding service to help you get the most out of HelpSpot.
Yes! Our customers report significant time savings and reduced support costs when moving off of email and into HelpSpot. You might be interested in this case study about a customer saving 100 hours a month.

I have questions about the pricing and purchasing...

Yes, we offer a free 21-day trial, no credit card required. Trial users get full access to all features, customer support, and a dedicated onboarding specialist.
We offer a full money-back guarantee for 90 days after purchase. If you're not happy with HelpSpot, we'll refund your purchase.
We're happy to offer a 15% discount to qualified not for profit organizations and academic institutions.
We accept all major credit cards, ACH/Wire transfers, and checks.
At the end of your trial you can purchase a subscription and continue using HelpSpot as your help desk software solution, everything you setup will remain in place. If you choose not to adopt HelpSpot all your data will be deleted.
Your subscription includes unlimited support, updates, and access to all features. There are no hidden fees or additional costs.
HelpSpot is priced in agent tiers, you can change tiers at any time. Your unused time on the lower tier will be credited towards the new tier.

I have questions about data, security, and compliance...

We have a full write-up on our security overview page. In addition, if you already run your own IT services you can run HelpSpot on your own servers.
HelpSpot is two hosted options. US (AWS US-East) and EU (AWS Frankfurt), within AWS datacenters. In addition, if you already run your own IT services you can run our help desk software on your own servers.
Yes, your data is comprehensively backed up. Files are stored on redundant EBS volumes with daily snapshot backups stored in remote regions. Database data is written to multiple availability zones in real-time and features continuous backup with point-in-time recovery capability, plus daily snapshots. All backups are region-restricted (US or EU) for data sovereignty.
Yes, we're happy to fill out a security questionnaire for you. When possible we prefer to do so after you have done at least an initial trial of HelpSpot to ensure it's a good fit for your needs.
Of course! Our support team can create an export of your data upon request.

If you're coming from an email system we generally recommend starting fresh as importing old emails that are not threaded by HelpSpot will result in the same messy situation you likely already have in your current setup.

If you're coming from another help desk software solution we may be able to work with you to import your data. Unfortunately there are no industry standard transfer formats so each situation is unique, but our sales team can go over the options with you.

I have questions about support...

Our team is available over email, contact form, and phone. For immediate assistance you can contact us at 845.533.5044 or create a support request.
