It also provides ticket automation, SLA management, a customer portal, and Docs sites for searchable, branded help centers or knowledge bases.

Help Scout offers API access and a mobile app. Its Free plan costs nothing and includes five users, one Inbox, and one Docs site, with 100 contacts per month, 10 saved replies, and 10 tags.
