Pylon nails B2B support in Slack. Then it stops.
Pylon is a strong channel-first inbox - but it bills per seat, annual-only, with AI as a paid add-on. Gleap is a flat $149/mo with unlimited seats, token-based AI, plus the bug reporting and product roadmap Pylon never built.
Flat $149/mo, unlimited seats
Token-based AI, not per-seat add-on
In-app bug reporting + session replay
Plus an AI product roadmap
Pylon charges per seat, billed annually
Pylon starts at ~$59/seat/mo (Starter) and runs to ~$139/seat/mo (Enterprise), with 3-7 seat minimums and annual upfront only - then AI Assistants are +$50/seat/mo on top. Gleap Team is a flat $149/mo with unlimited seats. AI usage is billed by actual tokens and selected model.
Gleap shared team inbox on a flat $149/mo plan vs Pylon per-seat scaling.
Pylon stops at the conversation
No in-app bug reporting, no session replay, no AI coding agent, no voting board. When a Pylon thread closes, the work ends. Kai Code carries confirmed bugs into pull requests and Kai PM turns requests into a roadmap.

Token-based AI usage
Pylon AI is a flat per-seat add-on. Kai usage is billed by actual tokens and selected model - you pay for what you use.
Bug reports become PRs

Requests become a roadmap
Kai PM clusters every feature request and scores by revenue weight. Pylon has no voting board or changelog.

What you gain: Kai Code
The bug reporting Pylon doesn't ship.
When a user reports a bug through Gleap, Kai Resolve investigates with session replay, console logs, network requests, and device data. Confirmed bugs move into Kai Code plan mode, build mode, and a pull request. Pylon stops at the conversation; Gleap carries the work into the codebase.

Gleap Kai PM feature requests board with vote counts and revenue-weighted prioritization.
What you gain: Kai PM
An AI product roadmap on real user signal.
Kai PM collects feature requests from support conversations, in-app widgets, and your public board. AI clusters duplicates, scores by revenue impact, and surfaces what to build next. A public roadmap your users vote on, plus a changelog that notifies them when you ship. Pylon has no equivalent.

“One platform, less hassle, smarter support.”
Gleap runs AI support, in-app bug reporting, and a product roadmap in a single workspace - the layers a channel-first inbox like Pylon leaves to other tools.
