Is Helpium Right for My Business?
Helpium is a good fit when
- You handle customer conversations across more than one channel and want them in a single inbox.
- Your team answers many repeat questions that a well written knowledge base could resolve.
- More than a couple of people get involved in customer conversations, so per-seat pricing is expensive or restrictive.
- You want the AI to do more than answer questions, for example look up an order or update an account by calling your own API. This needs the Pro plan or above.
- You sell online and your customers reach you through WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Messenger or Mercado Libre.
Helpium is probably not the right fit when
- You need a full CRM or sales pipeline tool. Helpium handles customer support conversations and captures leads from them, but it is not a CRM.
- You need phone or voice support. Helpium does not handle calls.
- You have no written documentation and no intention of writing any. The AI answers from your knowledge base, so with nothing to draw on it will hand most questions to a human.
Questions worth answering before you start
- Where do your customers message you today?
- Roughly how many conversations do you handle in a month?
- Which questions come up over and over?
- Do you want the AI to take actions in your own systems, or only answer questions?
You do not need any of this figured out to start a trial, but the answers determine which plan fits.
Common questions
