SupportBee is an email helpdesk and only an email helpdesk.
small support teams working out of a shared email inbox who want assignment, internal comments and a knowledge base without dragging customers into a portal or learning a helpdesk suite.
your customers reach you on chat, phone or WhatsApp, or support and billing need separate queues with their own rules; this is one channel, one team and one knowledge base on both published plans.

✓ Pricing re-verified 6 Oct 2026
Two plans, both priced per seat, and no free tier. Switch the toggle to annual and the page shows a total of $204 per seat billed annually on Startup and $252 on Enterprise, a saving it advertises as 20 per cent, which works out at effective rates of 17 and 21 dollars a seat a month. On those figures the saving is 15 per cent on Startup ($204 against $240) and 16 per cent on Enterprise ($252 against $300).
Not themselves. SupportBee's reports documentation (last updated 24 June 2026, read 6 October 2026) says only admins can access reports; agents and collaborators cannot. The agent and team reports also depend on assignment: they only count tickets assigned with Assign to Agent or Assign to Team, so if you assign 50 of 300 tickets in a month, those reports cover 50. The overview report covers everything. If you want per-agent numbers that mean something, assign every ticket.
Less than the 20 per cent on the toggle, on the page's own figures (re-read 6 October 2026). Startup is $204 a seat a year against $240 for twelve months at $20, a saving of 15 per cent. Enterprise is $252 against $300, 16 per cent. The page does not say what the 20 per cent is measured against.
The pricing FAQ (read 6 October 2026) answers "Am I locked in once I pay?" with: you can cancel anytime and your data can be exported out using our API. It names the API as the route, not a one-click export, so budget some technical help for a move.
