Limitations — the honest part

No tool is perfect. Here is where this one falls short, so you decide with open eyes.

  • Per-resolution pricing needs monitoring at volume
  • Quality depends on the state of your help content
  • Messy knowledge bases produce messy answers
  • Full platform cost grows with seats and add-ons
