Zendesk: The Customer Becomes a Ticket.
KIWacht: The Customer Stays Human.
Zendesk forces your customers into forms and workflows.
KIWacht lets your customers write the way humans write β and still prioritises automatically.
Zendesk
The Customer Becomes a Ticket
- βForm Tyranny β customers must fill out fields
- βPlatform Switch β your team has to move
- ββ¬55/agent/month β expensive for small teams
- βDPA Required β because all data is stored
KIWacht
The Customer Stays Human
- β Free Communication β customers write as always
- β Stay Where You Are β works in Gmail/Outlook
- β β¬49/month flat β for the whole team
- β No DPA Needed β because we store nothing
Two Different Truths About Scalability
Zendesk Claims:
"Gmail isn't scalable β
You need our platform
for professional support."
KIWacht Proves:
"Gmail is scalable β when it's intelligently
programmed with freedom from
software tyranny."
How Your Customer Experiences Support
With Zendesk:
"Please fill out the form:"
β’ Choose category
β’ Set priority
β’ Write subject
β’ Detailed description
The customer becomes a data entry robot β not a conversation partner.
With KIWacht:
"Just write us an email:"
β’ "Help, my data is gone!"
β’ "I want to cancel"
β’ "Your product doesn't work"
The customer writes like a human β the AI still understands urgency.
Migration vs. Instant Start
How You Start With Zendesk:
- Migrate all email inboxes (weeks)
- Train team in new UI (days)
- Configure workflows and automation (weeks)
- Sign DPA and clarify compliance
- Negotiate price β β¬55/agent/month minimum
Weeks to months β typical enterprise software rollout.
How You Start With KIWacht:
- Generate API key in dashboard (1 minute)
- Insert into Gmail Apps Script (2 minutes)
- First emails get prioritised (2 minutes)
5 minutes β because we respect that you want to help customers.
The Truth About Data Storage
Zendesk stores every customer interaction β forever.
This means: Data Processing Agreement (DPA), compliance risks, data prison.
Zendesk:
Your data is trapped β
You can't simply switch
KIWacht:
Your data stays with you β
You're always free
