Ripul Chhabra, AI & MVP Expert answered:

Honestly, UserVoice and Zendesk seem a little expensive

Fortunately, you can find alternatives like Kayako, which allow you to run your customer support department for only $15/month per agent, which is a bargain for everything you get:

Live chat + email + social media - unified channels support
Self-service center
Mobile SDK (Android + iOS)
Insightful reports
Team collaboration features
Assignment rules
Collision prevention
700+ app integrations thanks to Zapier.
You also get a Customer’s Journey, which allows you to visualize everything your customers have done and said, so you can bring context instantly and solve their issues ASAP.
Conclusion- There's no platform deemed to be 'Best' choose what suits you.

I hope that helps!
