About Pylon

Pylon is a customer support platform for B2B companies whose customers reach them in shared Slack or Microsoft Teams channels as well as email, chat and forms. It turns those messages into tracked issues with SLAs, routing and a single view per account, links them to Jira, Linear and CRMs, and adds a knowledge base, broadcasts, AI agents and an AI assistant for agents. Account intelligence features help customer success teams spot risk across accounts. It grew quickly among startups and scale-ups that found traditional help desks awkward for Slack-based support. Pricing is per seat on annual contracts, with viewer seats included and add-ons for account intelligence and phone, so it is aimed at funded companies rather than small shops. Consumer-facing teams will find it a poor match. It runs in the browser. It suits B2B SaaS companies that handle much of their support in shared Slack or Teams channels.

Best for: B2B SaaS companies that support customers in shared Slack or Teams channels.
