Gist vs. WorkHub Tasks

Gist is perfect for SaaS I'd say, and perfect for long sales cycles with lots of lead nurturing involved, and for scenarios where you re-market via FB ads, because there's FB custom audience integration built into the workflows. Perfect for customer service and support. Really outstanding there. It's a little less suited to ecom but they're hammering out the finishing touches to make ecom cart recovery easier.

The fact that WorkhHub Tasks is so highly configurable is its best feature. Your own fields, requirements, products, workflows, etc., are simple to set up. I used to work with two different help desk software programs before switching to WorkHub Tasks. It is by far the most effective program we've ever used, especially considering how cheap it is compared to more expensive programs.

• Gist provides endless ways of interacting with customers. I can chat and email with them, track their usage on my site, qualify them, add tags and other profile information, and so much more.
• There is even an awesome live view that lets me spy on visitors to see how they're using the site.
• The tools are powerful, easy to use, and constantly getting improvements. It seems like every week there is another update being rolled out that substantially extends the functionality or usability of the features in Gist.

• The chat feature allows us to have real-time conversations with customers
• It helps us to resolve customer issues more quickly.
• WorkHub Tasks make it possible for the team to raise customer satisfaction

• Free plan limits are too low.
• Chatbots should work not only for Gist's native online chat, but also for the other chat-based channels such as Facebook. (instead of having to use another software for that purpose)
• Pricing structure - Support bot should not be an add-on but a core feature.

• After the projects are finished, there should be a mechanism to sort them.
• Search by username ought to be available.
• There should be a project-based sorting.

Gist is a quite reliable service with a lot of added values. We don't need to pay for different Saas for these important features. If I had an issue the team was super responsive and helpful, that is essential for every business. The email delivery is great, so virtually no email has landed into spam folder

Gist does pretty much anything you want it to when it comes to managing your contacts. Sometimes I wish it updated faster, but wait a few beats and it gets there. I really love that I can show a colleague how to use the chat messenger and they understand it right away. Very user friendly!

I have communicated with their team multiple times and every time they have been very responsive, knowledgeable, and polite. They work to make sure you are happy and informed of what is going on. Better their team keeps up to date with their app, giving you new features, and keeping you notified and educated about what they are and how to use them. A+

They both seem to have parity with each other with each having their own small advantages. I went with Gist because it was more affordable. Infusionsoft customer for almost 5 years and it seemed I was always working more on getting it to work instead of getting work done. Gist is so intuitive I had it setting up and running the basics in a few hours.

Asana is a tool that we have used and is closely related to WorkHub Tasks. It is also a ticket-generated tool for project management but we have only used it for some of our running projects. Asana is well suited for internal communication and project management, but on a larger scale, WorkHub Tasks is good and my preference.

• Our ROI has increased significantly because of Gist's chat and app integration into our website. Contact forms are great but a real-time conversation means you can be more effective in meeting your customer's needs.
• The additional features in the recent upgrade mean we can use Gist for more. They have always been effective for email campaigns, but the addition of the knowledge base and more effective workflows means we can automate more. This has saved us from buying more software.

• Intelligent query handling due to relative task assignment
• Smart instead of the hard work enables using resources on other tasks
• customer retention has gone up significantly
