Customer Service
Gladly
People-centred customer service platform.
What it is
Gladly organises support around the customer rather than the ticket, so an agent sees one continuous conversation across channels. Organising around the person rather than the ticket means an agent sees one lifelong conversation instead of unrelated cases. That model fits consumer brands with repeat contact and is overkill for low-volume B2B support.

- Channels merge into one timeline

Pick it or skip it
Pick Gladly if
- Customer-service teams that want a customer-centred (not ticket-centred) helpdesk and are ready for a sales-led evaluation
- Mid-size and enterprise support organisations that buy through demos and contracts
- Teams that want AI-driven resolutions bundled with agent tooling
Skip it if
- You need a published per-seat price to budget — Gladly does not list one
- You are a small team wanting self-serve signup and a free tier
- You need a quick trial; the site routes to demo requests
Our verdict
The conversation model genuinely improves service. It costs enough that you need the volume to justify it.
