Free Tier

The Free tier gives you a fully functional ticket system with no time limit. It is suitable for smaller servers or teams that need basic ticketing without advanced features.

Premium Tier

Premium is designed for active support teams that need productivity and management tools beyond basic ticketing. It adds snippets, priority, notes, blacklist, and auto-close.

Custom Tier

Custom is built for anyone needing the full support toolkit and the complete white label experience. It unlocks your own dedicated bot with its own name, avatar, and status, plus the Live Chat dashboard, SLA timers, webhooks and API access, and all remaining configuration options, and comes with priority support.

Upgrading

Upgrades can be managed from the account settings page on the Help Buddy website. New features are available immediately after upgrading. Downgrades take effect at the end of the current billing cycle.

Checking Your Current Tier

Note

Your server's current tier is displayed in the dashboard header and on the General Settings page. Premium-only and Custom-only features are labeled in the UI and will prompt you to upgrade if you are on a lower tier.
