Delight your customers, effortlessly

Overview

What Freshdesk does

Freshdesk is a cloud-based customer support software that lets you support customers through traditional channels like phone and email, as well as multiple social channels.

What people use it for

  • Help desk and ticketing system
  • Customer support portal and knowledge base
  • Multi-channel support coordination
  • AI-assisted support agent interaction

The honest half

Where it falls short

Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about 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)

Cross-shopped

Softwr does not host reviews and shows no star rating for Freshdesk, because a rating we did not collect is not ours to publish. What is here is the pricing and platform detail from the vendor’s own pages, limitations we could state concretely, and alternatives a reviewer confirmed people weigh against it. Tell us if any of it is wrong.
