Ehsan's Recommendation
The counterintuitive insight: the value is not in either tool alone, but in the data loop between ai chat and product analytics tools. With Zendesk AI feeding into Heap, you remove the biggest friction point in most lead generation workflows. Skip premium tiers initially. Free plans validate the workflow before you invest more.
