Looks promising, but couldn’t get support when I needed it
The interface looks good and my initial tests were fairly promising. However, trying to actually get help - both before and after purchasing - was frustrating enough that I cancelled.
Before signing up: I had questions about specific features. The AI bot gave me contradictory answers about response templates—first telling me they’d automatically trigger when visitors ask matching questions, then (when I pushed back) saying they’re actually canned responses for staff. I couldn’t get a straight answer on a core feature the bot should clearly know.
After signing up: The signup process timed out repeatedly. When I finally got in, my Tier 4 AI credits weren’t added. I asked the bot for help and to connect me with support. It told me three times it would put me through—but there was no confirmation, no “someone will be with you soon,” nothing. Twelve hours later, still no response. I genuinely don’t know if my request ever reached a human. I did sent an email too, one would think that will be delivered in due course.
I’d have worked around missing features. But not being able to confirm whether support even exists? That’s a dealbreaker for software I’d be using to support my own customers.
The irony isn’t lost on me - a helpdesk product that can’t provide help when you’re evaluating it.
Refunded.
Maybe worth another look in the future once they’ve matured, but there’s plenty of competition out there that gets this right today.

Jan 29, 2026Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed and thoughtful feedback. We genuinely appreciate it, even when it’s tough to read.
You’re absolutely right to expect clear answers and reliable support, especially from a helpdesk product. Over the past few days, we’ve been upgrading parts of our system, and unfortunately, that coincided with heavier-than-usual demand on our support team. That’s on us, and we’re sorry you had to experience the worst of it.
Your point about not being able to confirm whether support even exists really hit home. Ironically (and painfully), that’s exactly the opposite of the experience we want ThriveDesk to represent. While this explains what happened, it doesn’t excuse the frustration it caused.
We’re not here to argue your experience. We’re taking it as a valuable wake-up call and, honestly, a bit of tough love. Feedback like yours directly influences how we improve, and it’s already being shared internally.
We understand why you chose to move on, and we respect that decision. If you ever decide to take another look in the future, we hope you’ll find a much more mature, responsive, and dependable ThriveDesk waiting for you.
Thanks again for giving us a try and for keeping us accountable.
