Helpjuice is a cloud-based knowledge management platform that helps small, mid-size and large enterprises build and maintain knowledge bases. The knowledge base can be used by both employees as well as external customers.
Helpjuice lets companies centralize all information in a single knowledge base and allows everyone within the company or department to access its content and activity. A searchable knowledge base - as provided by Helpjuice - encourages and enables customers to self-serve, solve doubts and resolve issues without having to contact a customer service team. The solution offers search functionality as well as supports customization of tools and controls with companies also able to customize the knowledge base with their logo and colors. Administrators can set role-based permissions and track the performance of top contributors to the knowledge base. Contributors can also tag the documents with keywords to improve its findability.
Helpjuice lets users assign different access levels to content including public, specific-users, URL-based and internal staff only access. Members can group the content on the knowledge base and set the order in which it will be presented to users. The software offers analytics capabilities that help to filter data and improve customer support. Advanced analytics features including visual analytics help to derive insights and actionable data.
Helpjuice can be used by businesses in a variety of industry segments. Current customers include Stanford University, Gumroad, BitPay, MoneyGram, Bench, and Walmart.
You're the best, David!
Pretty good overall. Had a few support kerfuffles but in the end, they came through and were great to work with.
By far the best bang for your buck.
Pros
- Can customize it to basically anything you want it to be
- Great personalized support
- Fast customization requests
- Really good editor
- Plenty of themes to choose from
- Analytics are great
Cons
- Can take too much customization to get it to 'feel' right for what you're doing
- If you have a private site, sharing articles individually publicly with a client is cumbersome
- Full export of site is not great as it exports in excel sheets
- No dynamic creation of keywords or related articles
- Can't 'continue numbering' in editor
- Can't 'copy formatting' in editor
- Search results do not contain category 'folders'
The help center that came with our customer support software wasn't meeting our needs and we wanted something more flexible that we could fully customize. Helpjuice provides the best of both worlds — an easy to use user interface for people to add/edit articles and the flexibility to amend the code and completely customize the site. Best of all, if there's a specific feature you really want if you ask them they'll get it done.
Pros
The support is fast and responsive. They are also great at taking feedback and incorporating it into their product. The user experience is clear and simple to use, but — if you want it — you can access the entire backend and customize your site to your specifications.
Cons
It's currently lacking integrations, e.g. with CRM tools such as Salesforce.
We are new to Helpjuice, but so far the experience has been very pleasant - with quick responses (several other competitors never even bothered to return multiple requests for demo's and meetings, but Helpjuice did so within less than a day!)
Pros
Price-per-feature was a major consideration - Helpjuice offers a lot of options and customization that other companies break out in to more and more expensive tears or pricing, where you have to pay more to get one feature you may want and a bunch more you don't.
Cons
While there search is robust, and can search attached PDF files in articles, other competitors have a much more robust search engine, capable of searching just about any file type, including video files. That said, you also have to pay a lot more to get that advanced of a search engine, and the rest of what these competitors offered was not as appealing.
We are using the software to create an internal knowledge base for a local government. Many of our users are not fans of having to learn a new piece of software but the ease of use that Helpjuice provides has made it incredibly easy to implement. We plan on eventually rolling out an external knowledge base for residents and the capabilities that Helpjuice provides will make that task easier than we could have ever hoped.
Pros
Helpjuice has been an incredible platform to start building our knowledge base. We had been struggling to find a good system that would give us the functionality we needed at a great price. Helpjuice has given us everything we hoped for and more and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. In addition, the customer support is top notch.
Cons
My only complaint about the software is having a constant pop-up in the bottom right of the screen when I log in to the dashboard.

In 1927 Charles Lindbergh became the first person to fly an airplane across the Atlantic.
On his return he was given a ticker-tape parade on the Washington Mall.
He had made the impossible become possible.
How? Because he had a utter, ruthless dedication to his goal.
A SIMPLE, BEAUTIFUL PRODUCT
I think if Lindbergh ran a SaaS company today, and was looking for knowledge base ('KB') software, he'd choose HelpJuice. Why? Because they've applied the same level of intellectual and practical discipline (that Lindbergh applied to his dream of flying the Atlantic) to their dream of creating an epoch-defining solution to an un-cracked problem (clunky, over-complex KB software applications).
First, my disclaimer: I'm a co-founder of a tech start up & a customer of HelpJuice, who have been incredibly helpful to me in getting my knowledge base off the ground (a la Lindbergh). Now my qualifications. Before moving into tech I practised law for several years as a litigation / dispute resolution attorney. I learned that creating top class templates of information/resources, more than paid for itself through the delight clients experienced at receiving detailed, actionable legal advice. HelpJuice is the go-to tool in my view to help any SaaS business - your business - achieve this end.
EASE OF USE
HelpJuice works like Google/Bing for your KB with a search bar on the home page your home page. If their question isn't answered in the KB, a query lead capture form appears, so you can answer the query & create a template.
CUSTOMER SERVICE & CUSTOMISATION
The Helpjuice customer success team goes out of their way to provide professional services (for free) worth several hundreds of $ (if $1,000s) ensuring you're delighted.
SIMPLICITY IN DESIGN & EXECUTION
If you're looking for an advanced ticketing based customer support system, don't choose HelpJuice. No ticketing system? How can they help me then? Well, HelpJuice decided that the laser-like niche skills required to design and maintain and develop a KB software solution are considerably different from a customer support ticketing software solution. They're right, too.
FUNCTIONALITY
You get:
- Thousands of searches on your KB a month
- dozens of user admin accounts; different role/access segmentation
- customisation of the KB; support pretty much any which way you want it etc.
At the higher end:
- 99% SLA
- localisation
- KB segmentation
- making your KB an internal company site
