Why Tettra is not built for customers

Tettra is a Slack-native wiki that makes internal Q&A faster. But customer-facing support needs public pages, search engine visibility, and AI that serves answers directly to the people using your product.

01

Tettra lives inside Slack

Tettra is built around Slack workflows: team members ask questions, experts answer, and the answers become wiki pages. That is great for internal knowledge. But your customers are not in your Slack workspace. They need a public help center they can browse and search.

02

No public URLs or SEO

Tettra pages are private by default. They do not generate sitemaps, structured data, or hreflang tags. Google cannot index them, and AI tools like ChatGPT cannot cite them. Helpable publishes every article on an indexable URL with four schema types.

03

No AI assistant for end users

Tettra has a Slack bot that helps teammates find internal docs. Helpable has Calli, a customer-facing AI that answers questions from your articles, provides source links, and escalates to your inbox when it needs a human.

04

Per-user pricing with a 10-user minimum

Tettra starts at $4/user/month with a 10-user minimum, so the entry point is $40/month for an internal wiki. Helpable Starter is $29/month for a customer-facing help center with AI answers, and Pro is $79/month with unlimited team members.

When to switch

When Helpable is the right choice

If your customers need answers without joining your Slack, and you want those answers to rank on Google and get cited by AI, Helpable is the tool for that. Many teams run both: Tettra for the team, Helpable for the customer.

Tettra was perfect for our team wiki in Slack, but customers kept asking the same questions over email. We added Helpable and support volume dropped by a third within six weeks.

We tried making Tettra pages public, but there was no SEO, no widget, no AI search. Helpable gave us all three on day one. Our docs now show up in Google and ChatGPT.
