Why Freshdesk is the best Help Scout alternative

You might be aware that Help Scout’s free plan has been discontinued. Starting from December 2018, Help Scout users will have to pay $75 per month for just 3 agents if they’re on a monthly plan.

At Freshdesk, we believe customer support should be an integral part of your business and shouldn’t take up a huge chunk of your budget when you’re just starting out. We offer a more feature-packed helpdesk that is intuitive and easy to use. And the best part, you get all this for free for unlimited agents. Yes, you heard that right. No catches, no broken promises!

The features you get with Freshdesk’s free plan

Streamline customer queries

Handle customer support queries from multiple communication channels such as email, phone, chat and social media through a single unified database.

Improve productivity with automation

Improve your support team’s productivity by automating routine tasks like routing tickets to the right agents and setting up preset responses for frequently asked questions.

Provide self-service to customers

Use our knowledge base feature to write in-depth help content that will enable customers to find answers to problems themselves without having to reach out to your support team.
