Helpshift Alternative

Player support built for this decade

Helpshift pioneered in-app mobile support. But today's players are on PC, console, Discord, and web too. Theymes gives you Helpshift's in-game strengths — plus everything else modern gaming demands.

Why studios switch

Why studios are looking for alternatives

Helpshift was great for mobile-first support. But gaming has evolved — and your support platform should too.

Mobile-only thinking

Helpshift was designed for mobile apps. If you have PC, console, or cross-platform games, you need a separate solution for non-mobile players.

Ticket-based pricing

Helpshift's ticket-based pricing means costs scale with volume. Theymes can offer an unlimited plan with unlimited tickets, seats, and AI usage.

Traditional AI approach

Helpshift offers bot automation through FAQ-based flows. Theymes takes a different approach with contextual AI grounded in your game data that resolves issues proactively.

Heavy SDK footprint

Helpshift's SDK adds significant weight to your game build. Theymes' SDK has zero external dependencies and a much smaller footprint.

Modern agent workspace

Theymes is built from the ground up with a fast, intuitive agent workspace designed for today's gaming support workflows.

Independent & focused

Theymes is an independent platform fully dedicated to gaming support, with weekly releases and a transparent roadmap shaped by studios.
