Help Scout vs UserVoice: What are the differences?

Help Scout: A help desk for teams that insist on a delightful customer experience. With best in-class-reporting, an integrated knowledge base, 50+ integrations and a robust API, Help Scout lets your team focus on what really matters: your customers; UserVoice: Customer service and customer feedback tools that don't suck. UserVoice creates simple customer engagement tools that help companies understand and interact with their customers more positively and build customer relationships that last.

We needed a sophisticated help center solution as we provide extensive support with 3 support team tiers. Intercom is more about messaging and automation. We needed sub-tickets, tasks, reminders, SLAs, automation, and strong API connections. That's why we have chosen Zendesk and we are quite happy with that.
