Startup Credits – Free/discounted plans for startups
This is a really helpful list! I didn't know that I could get a year of Zendesk for free [1], or a year of Intercom at $49/mo [2].<p>I'm using Drift for live chat, but I want to switch to Intercom or Zendesk to have support tickets (or "team inbox"), and a help center / knowledge base.<p>I saw that Intercom is much more expensive than Zendesk, but noticed that most startups use them. Saw this on their marketing site: "84% of new Y Combinator companies that use a messaging tool use Intercom."<p>Would be interested to hear some opinions on Zendesk vs. Intercom.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.zendesk.com/startups" rel="nofollow">https://www.zendesk.com/startups</a><p>[2] <a href="https://www.intercom.com/early-stage" rel="nofollow">https://www.intercom.com/early-stage</a>
