The Zendesk alternative built for SaaS on Stripe.
Zendesk Suite is the enterprise standard — omnichannel, deeply configurable, and priced like it. Megadesk trades the enterprise surface for focus: a flat $19 per user, AI included, and Stripe billing actions built in.

Honest tradeoffs
Where Zendesk is a better fit
Megadesk is deliberately narrow — it does support for SaaS on Stripe, not everything. If any of these matter to you, Zendesk is the stronger choice:
- Phone and voice support built in, plus every other channel a large support org needs.
- Enterprise compliance, security certifications and admin controls.
- A marketplace with over a thousand apps and integrations.
- Deeply configurable workflows, SLAs, multi-brand support and reporting for big teams.
Built for Stripe SaaS
Support that knows who's paying you
The support requests that touch money are the ones that burn founder time. Megadesk automates them safely.
Billing-aware AI
After a customer verifies their email, the AI sees their plan, MRR and subscription status from Stripe and answers billing questions with real data.
Refunds with human approval
The AI proposes refunds and subscription cancellations. You approve or reject them from an approval inbox — nothing executes without a human.
Retention offers
When someone asks to cancel, the AI can offer a discount coupon you've configured before the cancellation goes through.
One-click Stripe connect
Connect with a pre-filled restricted API key. Megadesk only gets the permissions it needs — never your full-access key.
AI trained on your docs
Point Megadesk at your website or upload documents. The chatbot answers from your actual content, in your tone.
Chat and email in one inbox
An embeddable chat widget with file and image support, email ticketing via forwarding, and custom API actions for your own backend.
