Questions, answered.
Is Rectify a good Zendesk alternative?
For a small SaaS team, yes: live chat, Slack and email support, AI answers and a help centre, plus feedback boards, a public roadmap, a changelog, session replay, uptime monitoring and draft fixes. For a large support department with voice, routing and HIPAA, Zendesk is the better fit.
How does pricing compare?
Zendesk prices Suite plans per agent, in your local currency, with 5 AI resolutions per agent a month on Suite Team and 10 on Professional, then $2.00 each pay as you go. Rectify Build is $29 a month for 3 seats, and AI runs at your provider’s price with zero markup.
What does agentic mean here?
Quanta doesn’t only answer questions. It does the work: it triages bug reports, moves roadmap cards, writes the changelog, starts code scans and opens draft fixes. Anything that changes your data waits for a person to approve it.
Can I try it before I switch?
Yes. The Idea plan is free for good, and paid plans start with a 14-day trial, no card needed.
Give your SaaS its first hire.
Free for 14 days. No card needed. Set up in about two minutes.
