We've Had Enough So We Built Something Better

As a customer success lead at a fast-growing startup, I got sick of being nickel-and-dimed by customer support tools. Every "affordable" solution turned into a budget nightmare with hidden fees and feature paywalls.
So we decided enough was enough and built cStar. One price. All features. No games. No nonsense. Just honest software for honest businesses.

Our Mission is Crystal Clear

Small businesses deserve customer support tools that don't rob them blind. We've been there—spending hours configuring "simple" tools, getting surprise bills, fighting with customer service about features that should be basic.

Enough is enough. We built cStar because we believe in fair pricing, honest business practices, and software that just works. No consultants required. No PhD in software configuration needed.

Built by CS Pros, for Growing Teams

Every feature is designed by someone who's been in the trenches of customer success. We've felt your pain, we've been ripped off too, and we're done with it.

The Problems That Drove Us to Action

I experienced these frustrations firsthand as a customer success lead. Every one of these pain points shaped how we built cStar.

"Affordable" Plans That Aren't

Start at $9/month, they said. Then you need integrations (+$20), automation (+$30), and decent support (+$50). Suddenly you're paying $109/month for "basic" features.

✓ All features included from day one

Feature Hostage Situations

Want to export your data? Upgrade to Enterprise. Need automation? That's a premium feature. Basic reporting? Sorry, that's Business tier only.

✓ No feature paywalls ever

Complexity Overload

Enterprise tools with 847 settings, 23 different views, and workflows that require a PhD to configure. You just want to help customers, not become a software expert.

✓ Simple by design, powerful by default

Support for Support Tools That Sucks

The irony: customer support software companies that provide terrible customer support. Chatbots, help docs that don't help, and support tickets that take weeks.

✓ Real people who actually give a damn

We Said "Enough" and Built cStar

Honest pricing. All features included. No hidden fees. No complexity. No nonsense.

$15 per user. That's it.

Our Approach is Refreshingly Different

We took everything that sucks about customer support software and did the opposite.

Simple by Design

If a feature doesn't help you serve customers better, it doesn't exist in cStar. No bloat, no confusion, just the tools you actually need.

Honest Pricing

No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no "contact sales" nonsense. $15 per user gets you everything. Forever.

Small Team Focus

Built by people who understand small business challenges. Every decision is made with teams of 1-50 people in mind, not Fortune 500 corporations.

Our Values Guide Every Decision We Make

These aren't just words on a wall. They're the principles that shaped how cStar works.

Simplicity

Complex problems deserve simple solutions. If it's complicated, we're doing it wrong.

Transparency

No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no "contact sales" games. What you see is what you get.

Efficiency

Your time is valuable. We respect that by building software that just works without drama.

Empathy

We've been in your shoes and felt your frustrations. We built cStar to solve our own problems.
