TAKE AN INTERACTIVE TOUR  

No need to learn a new
interface

Hiver allows you to serve your customers via email and chat without forcing you to leave your inbox. You don’t have to change your behavior or learn a new interface.

Front’s UI may look like an email interface but the user needs to work on a completely different application. The configuration is complicated, and it comes with a steep learning curve.

Internal collaboration is more seamless with HiverInternal collaboration is more seamless with Hiver
Easy to establish team accountability in Hiver Easy to establish team accountability in Hiver 

Proactive support team that’s
always available 

Hiver offers uninterrupted 24x7 real-time and personalized chat and email support across all plans.

With Front, your tickets will often be escalated and require continuous follow-ups. Since they only offer Email support you’ll experience delays in resolutions. Chat support is offered at Premium plans.

Affordable in-depth
reporting and analytics

Hiver comes with a host of highly customizable reports. You can easily access insights at a granular level about your workload distribution and your team's performance.

Even though Front offers deeper reporting and analytics, accessing them would be a cost concern. You’ll need to pay 127% more than what you pay for Hiver to get Front’s analytics capabilities.
