Forbes' Best Customer Service 2025, Powered by HundredX

We're proud to continue our partnership with Forbes by powering the Forbes' Best Customer Service list for the second year in a row.


The list celebrates 300 brands, out of more than 3,500 brands across 85 industries we track, singled out by their own customers for providing excellent customer service.


Rankings are calculated based on 4.4 million pieces of feedback from 181,000 customers, measuring a variety of factors including the effectiveness of the people, technology, and processes businesses put in place to ensure their customers have successful outcomes.

The forbes best customer service award 2025 is powered by hundredx.

Through this process, we identified four key themes of customer service:

Great Customer Service Keeps Customers Coming Back

The exact combination of factors which drive customer service satisfaction varies by industry according to the job a customer is hiring a company to do. Despite their different approaches, brands at the top of the list have at least one thing in common -- they understand that investing in customer service keeps their customers coming back for more.


We've found a strong correlation in our data between a brand's customer service and its future growth outlook. The average brand on the list has a 2% stronger growth outlook vs their peers not on the list. That number grows for brands closer to the top -- brands in the top 10 have a 10% stronger growth outlook vs peers not on the list.


In other words, it pays to have great customer service.


We've found that many brands have stayed at the top of the list from year to year, including The UPS Store (#1 in 2025), USAA (#2), and Chick-fil-A (#3). They have all invested in a customer-centric culture, understanding the importance of making meaningful connections with customers and strengthening those connections each time they visit through prompt, reliable, personal service.


Congratulations to all the brands that made the Forbes' Customer Service 2025 list.

A stack of coins with the words consumer spending muted amid rising prices
November 7, 2024
Consumers are navigating still-high prices with resilience. HundredX analysis, based on millions of pieces of customer feedback from July 2021 through April 2023 across 3,200+ companies, indicates inflation remains persistent, but consumers are cautiously hanging on. New Consumer Price Index (CPI) data shows prices increased 3.4% in April from a year ago, compared to 3.5% in March, which highlights a slight easing in inflation month-to-month. Still, HundredX data shows that consumers still feel negative about prices in general, pointing to inflation’s stickiness and consumer frustrations over the consistently high prices of everyday goods. Generally, we’ve seen that changes to HundredX’s Price favorability index are typically inversely correlated with movement in the CPI levels (i.e., inflation) reported by the US government.
