# What makes HelpCenter.io different?

_Category: Why HelpCenter.io_

HelpCenter.io focuses on one thing, the knowledge base your customers, your website and your AI tools all answer from, and charges a flat price per help center instead of per agent. There's no ticketing system or CRM to pay for.

- **Straightforward pricing:** from $29/month per help center, billed yearly, with AI included on Catalyst and no per-answer fees.
- **Your design, no code needed:** pick one of 17 themes in the template editor and make it yours, with custom CSS when you want it.
- **AI answers you can check:** AI Answers writes only from your published articles and links to its sources.
- **Ready for AI:** readers can add your public help center to their own AI assistant, and on Growth and Catalyst your team can connect Claude or ChatGPT to write and organize articles.
- **Help inside your product:** the widget brings your articles into your website or app, and proactive messages invite visitors in when they need help.
- **Safer releases:** staged changes and change sets let you prepare updates and publish them together (Catalyst, in early preview).
- **Many languages:** Growth and Catalyst serve your help center in several languages, and Catalyst drafts translations with AI.
- **Accessible themes:** keyboard navigation, screen reader landmarks and automatic color contrast are built in.
- **Free migration** on Growth and Catalyst: we move your existing help center for you.
