Why Trengo is the right alternative to Zendesk

Reason 1

Easy interface and modern channels

Switching between inboxes and multiple accounts complicates work. We want your team to experience the opposite, that’s why we keep our interface user-friendly and clear. Your team can work from one inbox, where all communication channels, integrations and customer data come together.

Trengo excels in modern communication. Our platform doesn’t rely on third parties like Zendesk and Zendesk-like software. Instead, we create native integrations with WhatsApp, Live chat and all other modern channels.

Reason 2

Fast set-up and short onboarding

We want your team to be up and running in no time. That’s why we make sure your onboarding is short and concise. We immediately set up your inbox and all the channels you need.

Our personalised support is unmatched and we don’t stop at onboarding. Is your audience not responsive via email? We’ll look into what does work (like adding WhatsApp).

Reason 3

Reasonable prices for SMBs

Trengo is the Zendesk alternative built for SMBs and our Grow, Scale and Enterprise packages reflect that. Our most expensive plan is cheaper than Zendesk’s. What more can we say? We let the prices speak for themselves.

The Zendesk SMB pricing plan is 3x times the price of Trengo’s best value plan. While their starter plan is double the price of ours.
