  • Each has a real cost: Appointlet free plan limited to 5 members and 25 bookings per month; Freshservice change, problem and release management require the Pro plan at $99 per agent per month, so core ITIL processes sit two tiers up
  • They diverge on capability: Appointlet covers Scheduling links, Freshservice covers Incident management.
