SuperRelay vs Zendesk
Zendesk is the enterprise standard: deeply configurable, endlessly integrable, and correspondingly heavy. For a small team shipping Shopify apps, most of that surface area is weight you carry, not value you use. SuperRelay is the opposite trade — a focused tool you can set up in minutes that does the Shopify-specific things Zendesk never will.
