HappyFox puts several features on its Basic plan that rivals hold back. At $24 per agent per month billed annually, or $29 monthly, Basic includes unlimited tickets and mailboxes, omnichannel ticket creation, SLA management, smart rule automation, canned actions, a self-service and internal knowledge base, a support portal builder and SSO through Google Workspace, SAML or Azure. Agent collision, ticket merging and bulk editing are standard. The limits show up as the team grows: Basic stops at five agents, and round robin assignment, satisfaction surveys, custom roles, custom email and a custom domain all need Team at $49 per agent. That makes HappyFox a good fit for a team of three to five that wants SLA tracking and a help center now, and a weaker fit for a team that expects to pass five agents soon. The interface is clear, though less streamlined than Help Scout.
Who it is for
Small teams that want SLA rules and a self-service portal from the first plan.
Price
Basic $24 per agent per month billed annually ($29 monthly), up to 5 agents; Team $49 and Pro $99 per agent billed annually.
