Reamaze isn’t as popular as Zendesk, Freshdesk, and Intercom. But it’s a good helpdesk solution, used by thousands of teams across the world!
But is it what you need?
Today I’ll give you a detailed overview of Reamaze’s features. By the end of this post, you can have enough insights to decide if it fits your business.
Ready? Let’s get started!
What is Re:amaze?
Reamaze is a multi-brand customer service, live chat, and help desk solution. It aims to help you with three main things:
- Support customers across channels
- Talk to customers in real time
- Create a self-service portal
If you’re already familiar with Freshdesk, you’ll find it easy to work with Reamaze because these tools offer many similar features.
Who should use Re:amaze?
While Reamaze includes some features for ecommerce, it’s actually not built with ecommerce in mind.
Here are a few cases that are most common for how businesses typically choose to use Reamaze:
- They’re looking for an alternative to Zendesk, Freshdesk, or Groove.
- They don’t need customer relationship management (CRM) features.
- They’re looking for help desk software that offers basic customer support features for ecommerce.
- They’re small businesses or SaaS startups that are looking for an affordable help desk ticketing system.
Re:amaze pricing
Re:amaze offers flexible pricing—you can pay by agents or by conversational volume.
The app also provides a Custom plan, which means you can ask the Reamaze team to custom the app to match your business’s needs. In this case, you’ll be charged higher than when you use a pre-defined plan.
On their pricing page, you’ll see these three plans:
- Basic plan: $20 per team member per month.
- Pro plan: $40 per team member per month.
- Plus plan: $60 per team member per month.
Now that you understand Reamaze and its pricing. Let’s move on to learn about Reamaze features.
