UseResponse 2026: Benefits, Features & Pricing

Software Advice offers objective insights based on verified user reviews and independent product and market research. When our advisors match you to a software provider, we may earn a referral fee.

Users can talk to our advisors for free to receive software recommendations matching their needs. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to reach users interested in their products.

How Software Advice verifies reviews

Software Advice carefully verified over 2 million reviews to bring you authentic software experiences from real users. Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

Independent research methodology

Researchers at Software Advice use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or talk to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.

About UseResponse

UseResponse is a Cloud-based and Slef-Hosted customer support solution that provides users with customer service tools and customer feedback solution. It features a Help Desk Ticketing Solution, Feedback Community System, Knowledge Base, and Live chat with messengers and chatbot.

With UseResponse’s support software, customer inquiries from social media platforms are automatically logged. When customers send in email inquiries, the solution assigns those emails ticket numbers. Users can customize the types of emails that are assigned tickets numbers.

Users are also able to set up email templates so that canned responses can be sent automatically to certain types of email inquiries. In UseResponse’s customer service and support application, customer profiles can be created to include information such as customer location, the browser they’re using and their system's operating system.

UseResponse is available on monthly and yearly subscription basis that includes support through an online knowledge base and live chat.

Your Customers Satisfied With Your Support, Service, Chat and Much More

My experience with the tool is very good, it has allied a lot of stress around here, therefore, I just complain about the amount we paid. But the tool itself is perfect and is being of good help. as I said, we can still integrate with other platforms. For example, Facebook messenger, among others. We were able to resolve things via live chat. It has been good, and the relationship with customers has improved and the personalized and more agile service has been improved.

Pros:
A great working tool this, it worked right on my system. Perfect support agents, always accurate, we are no complaints or anything like that thanks to support. I like this tool, but it's a shame that we only had 14 free days, but we were able to use the entire structure of the tool. This tool allows me to have more interactions with the customer, multiple customers at the same time. It's good because it integrates with a lot of other software we use.
Cons:
Look, I don't usually complain about the tools I use, as always, I'll continue without a negative review, however, a caveat. Just for the price, as I think the plans are a little high, and that's it.

Vendor Response

Dear Pedro, Thank you very much for taking your time to leave the review, we really appreciate and value every piece of customer feedback! Yes, you are right, we offer 14-day free trial including all the features to evaluate the system. However, if anyone needs some more time for testing the system, we extend the trial per request. This is always negotiable. Considering the set of features offered by our tool we consider pricing to be fair, however it may be of better value for large companies compared to small businesses. We are always happy to assist you in setting up and using the system, and hope that it can bring good value to your company! Best, UseResponse Team

What I love most is the seasoned support which is always timely and accurate. With this app,I have the capacity to interact with multiple clients at the same time ,all in real time. Its definitely worth its cost as It integrates easily with other softwares and social media app
Cons:
It is a very costly app,I believe the price should be reviewed. Aside this, its a great tool in network monitoring so I still love this app.

Reasons for switching to UseResponse

it had realtime chat so I had to make a switch.

Vendor Response

Hi! Thank you very much for your time to leave a review of our UseResponse Software! We really appreciate it and always try to be customer-centric in providing customer support. We also try to base our product development decisions on customer insights. We totally understand your concerns regarding the price, but considering the features offered, the flexibility, the ability to create multiple portals with no extra cost, and comparing to the competitors with similar functionality set, we consider the price being reasonable at the moment. If looking into a complete suite, you can consider it's UserVoice, Zendesk and Intercom all in one. And again, thank you very much for being with us, we are very happy that our tool can be a helper in improving your customers communications.

Took unauthorised payment from our card on file and refused to refund it

1

We decided to leave partly through the lack of ability to store customer details and link tickets to them, but also through a few instances of dealing with their support team and finding them very unprofessional and almost vindictive. On one occasion we lost a lot of articles from our knowledge base because we deleted the user that wrote them. Useresponse charged us to get the articles back (which is bad enough), but then we found none of the images were brought back. We complained about this, so they said they would refund us, but on doing so also then deleted the articles they had brought back so we didn't get even half of our problem solved.When found another system to move to we then discovered Useresponse had taken an unauthorised payment from our lodged card. This was for a full years fees and was taken only 2 months after we had signed up for a years extension so still had 10 months left. The company refused to refund the payment.I would strongly warn anyone against using the system as the company doesn't work to their customers best interests.

Thank you for taking the time to share your review with us. We are truly sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with our software. Your feedback regarding user deletion is highly valuable to us, and we have already implemented changes to improve our product. Regarding the subscription, our customers have the option to choose between monthly or annual billing, and our system charges the card accordingly. We appreciate your business and would be thrilled to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future.

On the whole, the software convinces with an incredibly great and simple usability, it is well thought-out and logically structured, and the team behind it is extremely competent and fast in support and small individual development projects. Larger individual requirements can be solved professionally through support or and cost-effectively consulting.

Pros:
We first used Idea Management in the beginning, and later built up our Knowledge Base. We use the knowledge base for both internal and external user groups. The structure of the rights management is simple and flexible, as well as the possibility to form different communities, to distribute knowledge base articles to specific target groups and to manage information. In addition, we use the ticket system as internal workload management and can thus transparently share and manage all tasks.
Cons:
Nothing worth mentioning, and it seems bug free too.

Reasons for choosing UseResponse

Use Response achieved by far the best cost-benefit ratio for us in our own evaluation process, and was immediately chosen as the favorite by the users directly affected (because of the intuitive and simple user interface and the good search function).

Reasons for switching to UseResponse

Before that, we used different tools for knowledge documentation for different user groups and could not manage languages with them. Consolidation now allows us to be more efficient and manage information better. And users are more satisfied as a result.

Pros:
UseResponse takes care of integration and helps in every step. The software contains several product-parts that can be switched on and off as needed. This company is highly customer-centric and tries to always meet customer needs. Their customer support is always available and has a response time that is second to none. The software is highly customizable without leaving the standard. UseResponse makes sure that they keep it updatable, even if they implemented many changes due to customer wishes. We are working together for 2+ years and I can not think of a better partner.
Cons:
The mobile view and the responsivness of some of the product-parts works good for most cases but could be aproved in the feature.

Pros:
Right now my favorite feature is the 'inline' FAQ whereby I can add a 'What's This?' icon anywhere on my site which then pops up the UseResponse widget with an FAQ related to the user's current asset. This is fully integrated to the support system allowing me to both inform users of features interactively and allow for extended/related answers and even customer support. I tested a number of popular/leading competing services and found UseResponse to be the most comprehensive and easy to use of all of them and the price is decidedly right. For me the final deciding factor was that a company that creates customer support software in fact provides superior customer support too. I was able to learn about and set up all the features I needed with direct and caring support. I don't often 'gush' about software (actually usually I gripe :) ) but UseResponse IMHO deserves it.
Cons:
So far not much. The only feature I'd love to include is the ability for FAQ/Articles to link to other articles inside the widget. Right now you are limited to either the sidebar of related articles (which keeps you in the widget) or adding a hyperlink to an artcile which opens a new browser window. I"m told they are working on that too though so that would leave me with nothing to complain about.

Pros:
UseReponse comes with a lot of features out of the box. The main reason we adopted UseResponse was to "crowd source" our development roadmap. By using UR, our user can tell us what they was in our products, and based on the number of votes, we can determine priorities. Additionally, there are many great add-ons and integrations available.
Cons:
Sometimes navigating through the interface can be slow.

UseResponse has proved to be one of the Best decisions we undertook. We were looking for an All-in-One Solution to enable us to manage Our Customer Support Solutions, and UseResponse turned out simply great. We used the Trial version, and got Our Team to test every aspect of the system, and were very happy with the outcome and Information gathered were thoroughly analysed and formed part of Our decision to upgrade. The System interface is highly customisable to Our needs, and it's easier for Our Team to use Its Self-Service Community integration to Gather ideas, Topic Voting, aggregate Problems, Questions, provide support with this great customer feedback software, help desk ticketing system packed in one simple solution. Digging deeper, we utilised the Help Desk Analytics Tools (HDAT) to measure Support Agents Performance. One other great feature is the Intelligent Ticket Processing (ITP) and the ease with which All requests aggregated in one inbox from different support channels. I will highly recommend anyone whose Business is looking for a seamless Combination of Help Desk + Multilingual Knowledge Base Features and API integration and Mobile ready (IOS and Android integration). Throughout the integration Process, the UseResponse Team were of immense support. Their Customer Support Team is great. UseResponse is Value for money.
