Customer Support | 9 <p><span style="color: rgb(9, 9, 11);">Humaans offers excellent in-app support and live chat with human agents. Our testers usually get a response within an hour, and have found the team to be friendly and open to feedback.</span></p> | 4 <p>We've found Rippling’s customer support to be poor.</p><p>Navigating their AI chatbot just to reach a human agent is a frustrating experience. On top of that, their account managers often come across as overly sales-focused, making it feel like their main goal is to upsell rather than assist. This sentiment is echoed by many customers we’ve spoken to. Rippling doesn’t allow you to self-demo the product before committing to their minimum 1-year contract, which feels both overly aggressive and unhelpful.</p> | 6 <p>HiBob allows you to contact support by creating a support ticket in-app. Users we've interview mention that support (in-app and via their customer success manager) is of decent quality.</p> | 7 <p>Zelt offers support via email, with live chat available on the highest tier.
