Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Freshdesk

  • Growth tier lacks multilingual helpdesk and custom reporting dashboards
  • Skill-based routing available only on Enterprise tier
  • Freddy AI Copilot requires separate £29/agent/month add-on on Pro and Enterprise plans
  • AI agent sessions charged beyond initial 500 sessions: £49 per additional 100 sessions
  • Day passes for non-agents vary by tier: £2 (Growth), £7 (Pro), £12 (Enterprise)

greytHR

  • Published starting price of INR 2,495/month covers only up to 50 employees, so larger companies must move to a higher, unpublished tier
  • The platform serves 34,000+ companies and its entry tier is scoped by headcount rather than by feature set, meaning growth past 50 employees forces a plan change
