Customer support for SaaS companies

Frequently asked questions

Why is LiveAgent good for SaaS businesses?

LiveAgent supports SaaS companies with omnichannel customer support (email, in-app live chat, voice, social), a built-in call center from the Team plan, a knowledge base for product documentation and onboarding articles, automation rules and SLAs for tier-1/2/3 routing, and a REST API for tight integration with your product backend. SaaS teams use LiveAgent to reduce churn through proactive support, escalate issues to engineering with internal notes, and keep one customer record from trial through expansion.

What features does LiveAgent offer for SaaS?

Core LiveAgent features that SaaS teams rely on: omnichannel inbox (email, chat, social, voice), in-app live chat for users while they're inside your product, built-in call center with IVR and call recording, knowledge base and customer portal for product documentation, automation rules and SLAs for multi-tier support, departments for billing vs. technical vs. success queues, internal notes for engineer hand-offs, and a full REST API.

Can LiveAgent handle compliance requirements for SaaS companies?

LiveAgent is a cloud service hosted on Amazon Web Services. At sign-up you choose where your data is stored: Frankfurt, North Virginia or Singapore. It supports GDPR, signs a data processing agreement on request, and gives you role-based permissions and an audit log of agent actions. Data is encrypted in transit. LiveAgent itself does not hold a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification; its hosting facilities are certified. There is no self-hosted version. If your buyers send security questionnaires, ask our team during the trial.

How much does LiveAgent cost for a SaaS business?

LiveAgent is priced per agent, not per conversation or contact, so the cost does not grow with your user base. Plans start at $15 per agent per month (Starter, billed annually, up to 5 agents); Team is $29 and Business $49 per agent per month, billed annually. SaaS teams with multi-tier support usually need the SLAs, departments and API access of the higher plans. A 30-day free trial with no credit card is available.

What integrations does LiveAgent offer for SaaS?

LiveAgent connects to the tools SaaS teams use: Jira to pass bugs to engineering, Slack for ticket notifications, Salesforce and HubSpot for customer records, and Stripe through Zapier. Its REST API lets you show data from your own product in the ticket, such as the customer's account, plan or usage.

Can SaaS companies migrate to LiveAgent from another help desk?

Yes. LiveAgent provides free migration from major help desks (Zendesk, Freshdesk, Intercom, Help Scout, Kayako, and others) with assisted onboarding. The migration team handles the import of tickets, customers, knowledge base articles, and conversation history while your SaaS support team continues running on the existing tool. Most migrations complete within a few business days, and customer-facing operations — including in-app chat — are not interrupted.
