Beacon is included on all Free plans, so you can embed your Beacon using this plugin. However, the contact form requires an API key, and API access is only available for paying plans.

Amazing plugin. Well supported and always seems to work without issue. I upgraded to Help Scout Desk so I could take advantage of the WooCommerce integration which allows for customer orders to appear right in Help Scout when we're responding to a customer's message.
