Keeping is the simple Zendesk alternative that works inside Gmail

Zendesk is a powerful tool built for dedicated customer support teams in large enterprises. If you have a growing business, it may be way more than you need.

Keeping gives you all the customer support features you need to manage customer support right inside Gmail. Teams love Keeping because there is no complicated onboarding or new tool to learn.

Why choose Keeping over Zendesk?

Only Keeping lets you share your mailbox from right inside Gmail.

keeping-works-inside-gmail

Keeping works inside Google Workspace

Keeping creates a new section inside your Gmail. This allows you to continue to use Gmail for your day-to-day work while having easy access to your customer support inbox.

Zendesk, on the other hand, requires that your entire team adjusts how they use email. This is a big change and you can expect some resistance. What good is an expensive new tool if your team doesn't use it?

Only Keeping lets you share your mailbox from right inside Gmail.

Keeping is more affordable

Zendesk's bare-bones Team plan ($25/user) is still a lot more expensive than Keeping's fully-featured Advanced Plan ($20/user). Zendesk's more comparable plan gets expensive quickly, at $69/agent per month.

On average, Keeping is about 60% less expensive than Zendesk. And you still get all of the critical features to manage a shared mailbox.

For a 5 person team, you can expect to save $1,500 /year with Keeping.
