# Strand Support vs Mava | Strand Support

[← All comparisons](/compare)

Multi-channel support

Mava sits in the multi-channel AI support category: Discord plus other inboxes, automation, and shared conversation tooling. Strand Support is narrower on purpose: Discord and a branded portal as one queue for Discord-first shops, with commerce context aimed at game and digital stores rather than a general multi-channel suite.

## Who should pick which

### Choose Mava if

-   You need many channels (email, social, chat) with Discord as one of several
-   AI auto-answers across public channels are a primary requirement

### Choose Strand Support if

-   Discord and a branded portal are the two channels that matter
-   Game-store purchase context should sit on the ticket
-   You want human-approved AI drafts without treating email as a primary channel

## Mava is a good fit for

-   Teams that need Discord plus email, chat, or other channels in one product
-   Products that lean on AI auto-responses across public and private support
-   Support orgs that look more like a SaaS helpdesk than a Discord community shop

## Where it usually falls short

-   Less specialised for Tebex-style game commerce on tickets
-   White-label portal for Discord communities is not the same ICP story
-   Pricing and packaging often target broader multi-channel teams
