Auralis VS Helpshift

The AI support partner built for outcomes,
not platform homework.

Why they switch

What we hear on intro calls

Three patterns from customers who moved from Helpshift to Auralis.

“Helpshift was great in-app. Our problem was the web ticket queue.”
A consumer-app team had Helpshift solving in-app questions well but the web support queue was untouched. Auralis covered the web + email side.
~55% deflection on web/email  ·  Helpshift kept for in-app
“Our B2B SaaS support didn’t fit Helpshift’s pattern.”
A B2B SaaS team trialed Helpshift but the mobile-SDK-first model didn’t match their customer base. Auralis fit their B2B web + email motion natively.
B2B-fit AI  ·  live in 12 days
“We needed someone running the AI, not another platform.”
A gaming studio had Helpshift but no internal ops owner for the bot. Auralis took over the cadence on their non-mobile channels.

FAQ

Questions we get during evaluations

Straight answers to what enterprise buyers ask when comparing options.

How is Auralis different from Helpshift?

Helpshift sells you a platform or feature set. Auralis sells you outcomes — our team configures, tunes, and reports against your KPIs. You spend zero time learning a new ops platform.

How long does it take to go live?

Most Auralis customers are live in 10–14 days using the playbook above. We own every step.

What results can I expect?

~60% ticket deflection in repetitive categories, ~30% AHT reduction, ~35% faster first response, ~10% CSAT lift, and 15+ hours saved per agent per week. All numbers validated against the GrowthOS cohort.

Who owns the weekly optimization?

Auralis does. We hold the weekly review, surface KB gaps, propose policy changes, and report against your locked KPIs. Helpshift expects your team to do this work.

How does pricing compare?

Auralis pricing is published as a calculator and quoted on the first call. Helpshift runs a sales-led process. Auralis is materially less expensive at the mid-market support team size (5–200 agents).

Can we run Auralis and Helpshift in parallel during transition?

Yes. We deploy Auralis on a slice of categories or a percentage of traffic first. You keep Helpshift running on the rest until you’re confident. Cutover is non-disruptive.

Should we replace Helpshift if we’re a gaming or consumer-app company?

Probably not. Helpshift’s mobile-SDK depth is hard to match for in-app support in gaming and consumer apps. Auralis is a better fit if your primary motion is web, email, and voice — or if you want one omnichannel AI vendor across channels.

Where does Helpshift win?

Gaming studios and consumer-app brands where 80%+ of support volume lives in-app via the mobile SDK. Helpshift is purpose-built for that pattern.
