A combined queue
Install two genuinely different projects and receive a message from each. Can you answer both without changing tabs or workspaces?
Your shop, your SaaS and last weekend’s launch all have customers. Choose a support tool around the people answering, not just the number of widgets you can install.

A founder or small crew answering for independently branded products, with one combined queue as the main requirement.
Order reflects our judgment for that scenario. No invented test scores, review ratings or universal winner.Install two genuinely different projects and receive a message from each. Can you answer both without changing tabs or workspaces?
Check the project label, welcome message and knowledge used for each conversation. Shared support should not mix up businesses.
Count the team, separately configured sites, premium workspaces and AI usage. A per-site price multiplies quickly.
Unlimited projects share one inbox. Keep each product’s context and choose teammate access without opening another workspace.
Solo free · Pod $29 / 3 people · Fleet $99 / 20
Monthly plans · AI usage separateFree multilingual help center, own domain, Markdown articles and in-widget Help on every plan.
Hosted only. Message search, image sharing and analytics start on Pod. Do not assume autonomous refunds or an enterprise contact center.
Multiple inboxes and widgets under one account make it worth testing with your real sites and team.
$79 / month
Team · 4 seatsHelp center is included in Team and Plus, with website and widget access.
Check the seats included in your chosen tier. Additional paid seats are $19 per month on monthly billing.
Unlimited websites and straightforward operator tools suit a portfolio that mainly needs people answering visitors.
$31 / agent
Essential · monthlyChatra focuses its published offering on messaging and operator tools. Orka puts a public, multilingual article library alongside those conversations.
Essential and Pro are priced per agent. The current free tier lists five chats per month.
A widget can run on several domains. Separate workspaces bring separate settings and subscriptions, so map your brands before buying.
$95 / workspace
Essentials · 10 seatsThe knowledge base is on Essentials and Plus, with Markdown, custom domains and multiple languages.
Separate premium workspaces are billed separately. Knowledge-base access starts at Essentials.
Do not treat “supports multiple websites” as a complete answer. Reusing one widget everywhere, switching between separate workspaces and answering multiple projects in one queue are three different workflows. Test the one you actually need.
Trial the tool with the people who will answer, the projects they support and the difficult questions they actually receive. Keep a note of what requires another tab, another paid plan or an extra manual handover. Those details are more useful than a long list of checkmarks.

Orka is our first option to evaluate for this guide’s stated scenario: A founder or small crew answering for independently branded products, with one combined queue as the main requirement. That is an editorial judgment, not a universal winner. Use the other shortlist options when your requirements differ.
It depends on the product’s account structure. Orka includes unlimited projects in every plan. Others may permit one widget across several domains, charge per separately configured project, or sell a multi-inbox tier. Confirm the workflow and billing together.
No. Some competitors have a free core product or a lower bundle price for a specific team. Compare the number of people, separately configured projects, knowledge features and AI usage. Orka’s main differentiation is one inbox with unlimited projects, not winning every price comparison.
Use the same real questions and measure the full conversation. Orka’s calculator illustrates ten customer messages plus ten AI replies, including history and knowledge in input tokens. Other vendors may count resolutions, AI chats or credits. Those units are not directly interchangeable.
Yes. Check whether visitors can search published answers on a public site and inside the widget, whether your own domain and languages are supported, and which plan includes them. Orka includes its multilingual help center on every plan.
