Looking for a Zendesk alternative?
Multibase gives you everything Zendesk offers for knowledge bases — plus multi-brand portals, white-label, and unlimited team members. From $49/month.
About Zendesk
Zendesk is a customer service suite with a Guide module for knowledge bases. While feature-rich, Zendesk's KB capabilities are bundled into a much larger (and more expensive) support platform. White-label and multi-brand require Enterprise tiers starting at $169/agent/month.
Why teams leave Zendesk
Per-agent pricing adds up
Starting at $55/agent/month for Suite Team, scaling to $169/agent for Enterprise. A 4-agent team on Professional costs $1,156/month.
White-label needs Enterprise
Removing Zendesk branding requires Enterprise at $169/agent — more than triple the entry price.
Multi-brand is enterprise-only
Running separate branded help centers requires Zendesk Enterprise. Most teams are priced out of this feature entirely.
You're paying for features you don't use
Ticketing, live chat, talk, messaging — Zendesk bundles everything. If you just need a knowledge base, you're overpaying significantly.
Why teams choose Multibase instead
KB-focused, not bundled
Multibase is purpose-built for knowledge bases. No ticketing bloat, no unused features inflating your bill.
Multi-brand from $49/month
3 branded portals on Growth, 10 on Scale. No enterprise gate. Each portal fully white-labeled.
Unlimited team members
No per-agent charges. Your entire team gets full access on every paid plan.
