Every inbox becomes a queue you can actually run.

Forward support@, and Cherryrise threads, dedupes and assigns it. Replies go out from your domain — customers never see a ticket number unless you want them to.

  • Threading that survives forwards, CCs and reopened replies.
  • Collision detection — see who's already typing a reply.
  • Macros and snippets triggered with /.

Live chat

A chat widget your engineers won't quietly disable.

One script tag, themable to your product, and fast enough that nobody files a perf ticket about it. Try it — the widget on the right is the real thing, running on this page.

  • Routes to the same queue as email — no second inbox.
  • Sub-40 KB, no layout shift, lazy-loads on intent.
  • Carries session + identity so agents skip the "who are you" round.

Automation & SLAs

Rules that read like a sentence, not a flowchart you dread.

Build routing, escalation and SLA policies from plain conditions. Version them, test them on past tickets, and ship without a meeting.

  • Dry-run any rule against last week's queue before it's live.
  • Business-hours-aware SLA clocks, per plan and per region.
  • Escalations that page the right human, not the whole channel.

Email deliverability

Replies that land — signed as you.

Publish two DNS records once. Every reply is signed as your own domain through your AWS SES account, with a white-labelled return path and automatic SMTP fallback. No “via amazonses.com” leak, ever.

  • Automated DKIM via BYODKIM — you publish, we sign.
  • SES-primary sending with custom-SMTP fallback.
  • Smart Reply-To, so “on-behalf-of” replies reach the real person.

Customer portal

No password. No “create an account.”

Customers click the magic link in any reply and land in their ticket, already signed in. Your help center runs on your own subdomain, with your brand color rendered server-side — multi-tenant, white-label, by default.

  • Passwordless magic-link login from any email.
  • Help center on your domain, your brand, server-rendered.
  • Every workspace gets an isolated, branded subdomain.

AI assist

On by invitation — not by default.

Assist features exist, but the admin decides. Each one is toggled per workspace, gated server-side, and white-labelled. No data leaves without you turning it on. We’d rather give you the switch than the buzzword.

  • Suggested replies and thread summaries, draft-only.
  • Inbound auto-categorization and tagging.
  • Live-chat translation, on the conversations you choose.

Roles, isolation & deploy

The “outgrew Freshdesk” part.

Enterprise controls that are enforced, not implied.

Roles & assigned-only mode

Granular roles, plus an assigned-only agent mode where agents see only their own tickets — enforced server-side on every surface, not hidden in the UI. Agent-scoped dashboards included.

Security details

Self-host & data residency

Run Cherryrise on your own infrastructure — Node, MongoDB and your AWS SES account — or pick US / EU residency in our cloud, enforced at write time including backups and search indexes.

Migration was a non-event, in the best way.We moved 60k historical tickets over a weekend and were live Monday. Threading held up on the messy forwarded chains that broke our old tool.

The dry-run on automations sold the whole team.Being able to test a routing rule against last week's queue before shipping it means we stopped breaking things at 2am. 214 tickets matched, zero false routes.

Our engineers stopped disabling the chat widget.That's the highest praise it gets. Sub-40kb, no layout shift — the perf team signed off without a fight, which never happens.

SLA breaches went from weekly drill to a number we forget.Per-region clocks mean a Friday-evening ticket in Berlin doesn't burn its budget over the weekend. Escalations page the right person, not the whole channel.

Finally a help desk that respects the keyboard.Macros on /, command palette for everything, collision detection that actually works on long threads. It feels built by people who've worked a queue.

The reporting is the part I didn't know I needed.CSAT by team, first-response trends, volume by tag — all in one place instead of five tabs. Exports clean to our warehouse, too.

FAQ

Questions, answered plainly.

The things engineers and ops leads actually ask before they migrate. Still stuck? Our team replies in the same queue you'd be running.

Talk to support
How long does migration from Zendesk or Freshdesk take?
Most teams are live within a weekend. Our importer brings over historical tickets, tags, macros and customer records with threading intact — including the messy forwarded chains that usually break. You keep your old tool read-only until you're confident, and you can run both in parallel during cutover.
How is Cherryrise priced?
Per agent, per month — $29 on Team and $59 on Growth, billed monthly or 20% less annually. Light collaborators who only leave internal notes are free. There's no per-ticket surcharge and no charge for end users who contact you. Enterprise is custom.
Does the live chat widget slow down my site?
No. The widget is under 40 KB, loads lazily on user intent, and reserves its space so it never causes layout shift. It's a single <script> tag, themable to your product, and it routes into the same queue as email — there's no separate inbox to babysit.
Where is my data stored, and is it compliant?
You choose US or EU residency at the workspace level, and it's enforced at write time — including backups and search indexes. Cherryrise is SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 certified and GDPR-ready with a signed DPA and SCCs. Enterprise adds customer-managed keys and field-level redaction.
Can I test automations before they go live?
Yes — every routing, escalation and SLA rule can be dry-run against your last 30 days of tickets before you ship it. You see exactly how many tickets would have matched and which conditions fired, so you don't discover a bad rule at 2am. Rules are versioned and reversible.
Which tools does Cherryrise integrate with?
Native two-way integrations with Slack, Linear, Notion, Shopify and GitHub, plus 30+ more and a REST API with webhooks. Escalate a ticket to a Linear issue and status, comments and assignees stay in sync both directions — support sees engineering progress without leaving the queue.

Run support like an engineering team.
