SupportifyGPT vs Help Scout

The Help Scout alternative with no per-inbox add-ons

Help Scout is a lovely, simple shared inbox — and the closest in spirit to SupportifyGPT. But its per-user pricing climbs to $75/user, extra inboxes and Docs sites are paid add-ons, and AI Answers are billed per resolution.

SupportifyGPT keeps the same calm simplicity but charges flat seat-count tiers with every feature — extra inboxes, knowledge base and the bot — included.
