What it is

Freshdesk is Freshworks' ticketing help desk that turns email, portal and phone requests into tickets with routing, SLAs and automations. It includes a knowledge base, customer portal and the Freddy AI Agent, with 500 free AI sessions before paid packs. Live chat and messaging channels require the separate Freshdesk Omni plans.

Standout capability

Mature ticketing with SLAs, automations and a large marketplace at a low per-agent entry price.

Reviewers say agents learn it quickly and that ticket assignment, canned responses and automations cut a lot of manual triage.

What people complain about

Users complain that AI sessions, Copilot and Omni add-ons push costs up, that complex workflows feel rigid, and Trustpilot reviewers focus on billing and cancellation problems.
