Migrate your Helprace data
Bundled helpdesk, community forum, knowledge base, and feedback widget with a modular per-feature pricing model, designed for small teams that want one vendor across all self-service channels.
In its favor
Why people choose Helprace
The signal that keeps Helprace on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Modular feature bundles let teams pay only for what they use — a small helpdesk-only shop pays $18/agent/month while a full-service operation picks the Complete tier at $36/agent/month.
Built-in community forum and feedback widget create a single portal where customers can ask questions, submit ideas, and track problems alongside official support tickets.
Agent Collision Detection reduces duplicate replies by showing real-time alerts when another agent is already viewing or responding to a ticket, sourced from G2/Capterra review themes.
Regional data hosting options (EU or US) address compliance requirements for teams operating in or serving customers in regulated markets.
Custom domain and branded portal setup (help.yourcompany.com) gives a professional self-service appearance without requiring separate infrastructure.
The modular pricing model forces customers to subscribe to multiple feature bundles to get a complete support experience, with one reviewer noting they cannot even receive customer emails during the trial without the right tier.
Community forums are described as slow to load and limited in functionality compared to dedicated community platforms, leading to poor adoption among customers.
The feature set has not kept pace with competitors — reviewers note the knowledge base and reporting tools lag behind alternatives, and the interface feels dated.
Feature requests submitted to the Helprace team receive template responses that do not invite elaboration, suggesting limited product investment and responsiveness to customer needs.
Smaller team size (3 employees per LinkedIn) raises concerns about long-term product stability and the ability to scale support or development as the platform matures.

Pricing tiers
Helprace pricing overview
Helprace prices on a per-agent per-month basis with annual and monthly billing options. Six tiers range from single-module plans at $18-20 to the Complete bundle at $36-40 per agent per month. All plans include a 30-day free trial. Billing is agent-seat based, not contact-based, which simplifies cost estimation but requires planning when growing the support team.

What gets migrated
Helprace object support
Object-by-object support for Helprace migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Tickets
Mapping requiredTickets carry subject, body, status, priority, assignee, tags, custom fields, and a full activity/reply log. Helprace's bulk export does not include tickets — we must call the Ticket API endpoint with pagination to pull all records and their reply threads individually.
Users (Customers)
Mapping requiredUsers have profiles with email, name, organization membership, and group assignment. We map these to the destination's contact/user object and preserve org and group memberships as custom fields or tags on the destination.
Organizations
Fully supportedOrganizations group users and allow ticket sharing across members. This is a first-class object in Helprace with a stable schema; we migrate org names and user memberships directly.
User Groups
Fully supportedUser Groups control access to restricted spaces and drive workflow routing. We preserve group names and membership lists, mapping them to equivalent access-control groups on the destination platform.
Teams
Fully supportedTeams represent departments or office branches. We map team names and assign agents to their corresponding team on the destination.
Community Topics
Mapping requiredTopics are organized by feedback type (Questions, Ideas, Problems, Praise) and can be public or private. We migrate topic title, body, reply threads, vote counts, and status, applying a status-mapping table since destination platforms vary in how they represent resolved/locked topics.
Knowledge Base Articles
Fully supportedKB articles have title, body, category, and visibility settings. Helprace supports bulk CSV export for KB content — we use that path when available and fall back to API pagination for full article fidelity including attachments.
Saved Replies
Mapping requiredSaved replies are canned responses with placeholder tokens for customer name and email. We export the full text including placeholders and recreate them as templates or macros on the destination, noting that placeholder syntax must be adapted to the destination's variable format.
Macros
Mapping requiredMacros update multiple ticket properties in a single click. We export the action list (field updates, assignments, tag adds) and reconstruct them as equivalent automation rules or macros on the destination, which may require a manual step to translate property names.
Tags
Fully supportedTags organize tickets, filter reports, and trigger workflows. Tag names are free-form strings. We preserve the full tag list and reapply tags to migrated tickets on the destination.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredCustom fields on tickets can be required or optional. We export field names, types, and values, then create matching custom fields on the destination before loading ticket records. Field type mapping (dropdown, text, date) must be confirmed during scoping.
Satisfaction Ratings
Mapping requiredCustomers can rate support interactions. We export the rating value and any accompanying comment. Ratings are not always a native object on destination platforms — we may store them as a custom field on the resolved ticket or in a companion record.
Attachments
Mapping requiredAttachments on tickets and community posts are stored as URLs pointing to Helprace's file store. We download files locally and re-upload to the destination's attachment storage, preserving filenames and associating them with the correct record.
