Make It Easier For Your Team To Manage Customer Conversations. Easily Handle Emails, SMS, and WhatsApp as a team. As a business grows, it becomes a struggle to manage customer, sales or internal emails(billing, hiring) across the company. And, then we make a blunder by sharing email logins among team members. We understand the chaos that it creates because we have been through the same pain during our previous gigs & businesses. So, this is exactly why we built Helpwise - the shared inbox that really works! With SMS and WhatsApp Inbox features, your team members can provide support to tens of thousands of customers by efficiently sharing the workload with each other. Friendly Interface We all love Gmail, Outlook & other awesome email clients. So, we have made sure that Helpwise feels as easy as these common email services. Basically, you won't miss them here. Share Inbox, Not Password Every team member will get own separate login to access same email address. So, no more password sharing. Better security with higher productivity! Collaborate With Team Members Don't shout out loud to clear your doubts before answering an email. Tag, Assign or Chat with your team members within the shared inbox. It is safe to say, Helpwise is part-Shared Inbox, part-Collaboration software. Distribute Work Load Getting 100s of emails every day? Easily share these emails among your team members and reach Inbox Zero faster.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Hiver in Gmail holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hiver in Gmail has 43 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of Hiver in Gmail's written reviews are positive against 33% of Helpwise's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hiver in Gmail ships an update every 5 weeks, Helpwise every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and June 3, 2026 respectively.
