Ask HN: Best (minimal) customer support software?
10 points by oliv__ on Aug 16, 2022 | hide | past | favorite | 4 comments
Hi HN,

Curious what people's opinions are here on best practices & tools to setup a simple, manageable email support channel (for a SaaS).

There seem to be a million options out there and a lot of bloated/complex software.

Looking to transition away from a simple email client but ideally to a minimal, works-out-of-the-box solution.

Thoughts/experiences?




Any self-hosted ticket system sound good. eMail can be a source for ticket creation however tickets are processed via a web interface.

https://osticket.com is one such software


In case anyone is interested, I ended up going with Helpscout: I find it to have the easiest/simplest interface.

I also looked at Front, Intercom, and Zoho.


Freescout is really good. Been using it for 2 years with a team of 5-6. Highly recommended.
