Zendesk alternative
The best Zendesk alternative in 2026: LandinChat
Zendesk is a major enterprise support platform offering WhatsApp as a channel within its Suite. Popular with enterprise support teams.
Strengths are support workflow depth and enterprise integrations. Trade-offs: WhatsApp marketing features (broadcast, automation, catalog) are basic, per-agent pricing is enterprise-level, and the platform is support-first rather than marketing-first.
