Skipper vs Harvest

Skipper and Harvest are evenly matched on rating (4.0★ vs 4.0★) — the differentiator comes down to pricing fit, feature breadth, and which app's interaction pattern suits your team's workflow.

Pricing entry tiers: Skipper at Free 7-day trial, Harvest at Free to install. Check each app's tier structure for the capacity limits you actually need before deciding — the headline number is the same shape, but the gating shape per tier (seats, usage volume, integrations) varies.

Harvest has the larger user base (439 reviews vs 2), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Skipper's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.

Recommended evaluation path: install both apps' free tiers (where available) and run them in parallel on a small cohort for 7-14 days before committing. The data tables below show the per-feature breakdown — for most support teams the deciding factor will be a single integration or workflow detail that's hard to compare from listing pages alone.

This verdict is generated from the live marketplace data on this page — rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position all refresh from the canonical Zendesk Marketplace listing every 24 hours. AppRanks does not accept payment to influence comparison outcomes; the methodology is documented on the About page and applies identically to every pair on the site.

Is Skipper or Harvest cheaper?

Both Skipper and Harvest offer paid plans only. Skipper starts at Free 7-day trial; Harvest starts at Free to install. Compare the per-tier features in the Pricing section above before committing.

Which has better reviews, Skipper or Harvest?

Skipper (4.0★, 2 reviews) and Harvest (4.0★, 439 reviews) are essentially tied on rating. Look at review velocity and individual reviewer quotes — both visible on each app's detail page — to differentiate.

Should I choose Skipper or Harvest?

AppRanks cannot separate these two on rating — both sit at 4.0★. Harvest does carry the larger published review base (439 vs 2). Read both apps' detail pages for the feature breakdown and recent listing changes.

Which is faster to set up, Skipper or Harvest?

Both apps are one-click installs from the Zendesk Marketplace. Harvest has the deeper published review base (439 vs 2), which often — though not always — accompanies better-tested setup docs. AppRanks doesn't measure setup time directly: read the recent reviews on each app's detail page for user-reported install experience.

Which works better for small vs large Zendesk Marketplace support teams?

Skipper typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (2 reviews). Harvest typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (439 reviews). A larger review base generally means the app has been exercised at scale — relevant if you are processing high volume or handling enterprise compliance requirements.

Can I migrate data between Skipper and Harvest?

Migration support varies by app and category. Skipper and Harvest both publish their export options on their marketplace listing pages (or in their support docs); some apps offer one-click import from competitors, others require CSV. The fastest check: search "import from Skipper" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
