  • Support team goes above and beyond

    Really great plugin, it's been a great help for our customer service team and also as a way to share information internally. I had some unexpected errors happening, and the BetterDocs support team spent almost a month working with me to solve the problem. And when it came back after an update, they knew right away how to solve it! Super grateful to Michelle D., Florence, and the development team! Our company is super happy with BetterDocs, looking forward to keep using this plugin on our webiste.

  • Quick Support

    I was amazed to get an actual email response to my chat bot inquiry. Then to have an answer to my question that solved the issue in under and hour was more than I expected. Great customer service!
