Hello again! We update Kayako almost every day. Every few weeks, we'll summarize what's new, what's changed and what we fixed in the Release Notes section.
New pricing plan: Free!
We created a Free plan for Kayako! We did this to allow smaller teams who are just getting started access to some of the best parts of the Kayako product experience. Our Free plan helps you have easy and personal real-time conversations with your customers via Kayako Messenger.

New SLA timers in the agent area
You might have noticed that last week, we made an update to the way your SLAs are displayed in Kayako. We did this so that when you’re helping your customers under an SLA, you can better gauge your progress and keep productivity at an all-time high.
We’ve updated the way SLAs display in Kayako to give you the information you need, when you need it. The problem is, we pushed this change a little soon and didn't give our customers a proper heads up before this went live. For this, we apologize.
We're working every day to deliver the best customer experience possible, and that includes strong communication with you. We'll do better, and we are excited to hear your feedback on this feature.
In the top bar of your Kayako account, you’ll now see a live timer that counts down the time left to the next SLA event, with more information about past and future events under a dropdown (see above).
