Quick answer

Daykeeper is a Front alternative for solopreneurs. Front has no free plan, and its $25 Starter plan supports only one channel, so chat and email together need Professional at $65 per seat a month, billed yearly. Daykeeper's Free plan includes a support chat widget and inbox for 100 conversations a month, and Pro is $19.99 per workspace for 2,000, with replies from your own domain.
