Trusted by 4500+ high-growth global companies:
Help Scout charges per agent and per AI resolution. Gleap gives you unlimited seats, AI support included in every plan, plus bug reporting, surveys, and product tours Help Scout doesn't offer.
Help Scout charges $25-50 per user per month. A 10-person team costs $250-500/mo before AI add-ons. Gleap includes unlimited team members starting at $119/mo.
Help Scout charges $0.75 per AI resolution on top of seat fees. Gleap's AI agent Kai is included in every plan with no per-resolution charges, so success doesn't come with a surprise bill.
Help Scout handles conversations but can't capture visual bug reports. Gleap includes annotated screenshots, video replays, console logs, and device data so your support team routes technical issues to engineering without switching tools.
GPT-5 powered
Meet Kai, our AI chatbot. Kai resolves over 80% of customer questions automatically using your knowledge base, providing AI-powered customer service that Help Scout's email-based approach can't match. Add live chat software and seamless handoff to human agents when needed.
Visual feedback
Help Scout excels at communication, but it doesn't provide built-in visual bug reporting. Gleap's bug reporting software captures annotated screenshots, video replays, console logs, and device data, so your support team can route in-app bug reports to developers without switching tools.
Micro surveys
With Gleap, you can run NPS, emoji ratings, star ratings, and text surveys directly inside your product. Gleap's in-app feedback tools and AI customer feedback platform go beyond Help Scout's basic satisfaction ratings to give you actionable insights from every customer interaction.
Help center
Gleap's integrated knowledge base software automatically suggests relevant articles before a customer submits a ticket. Unlike Help Scout's standalone docs, Gleap's help center is deeply integrated with AI customer support, so your AI chatbot answers questions using your knowledge base content automatically.
HelpScout is a strong email-based help desk, but it’s not designed to handle bug reporting, proactive feedback collection, and product adoption tools in one place. Gleap gives you everything in a single, affordable package — making it the smarter HelpScout alternative for 2026.
