My experience with these guys lasted about 17 hours. I went to their website, pricing page and was confused about why the "free forever" plan prompt for a "trial" so dropped them a line. Support answered me with 3 emails; one confirming that they have received my message, another asking me to activate my account (who wanted one??) and the last with support agent asking me my freshdesk URL.

Now this is by itself upsetting so I asked the support why he didnt actually read (or understood) my ticket and his answer were again that he needed the URL to look into it, here is support answer:

We did read your ticket. However, to see if your Sprout account with your account details, we can take a look at your account details and see what is going on. ??So now, if you could help us with your account details and maybe a screenshot of the prompt you are receiving, we will proceed with the necessary steps.

Imagine having a paid account with a real blocking issue, what nightmare it could be to explain these guys what you need help with, if they have issue understanding a simple pre-purchase question.

Support is terrible. Response times and actual delivery is something what cannot be left alone.

Freshdesk is a great option for startups that want to keep costs down. Is it super advanced? No. Are many of its marketplace apps broken as of a decade ago? Yes. But it's simple, cheap, easy to configure, and you can take it a long way with automation tools.

Freshdesk enabled our TWO active agents to manage a community that grew from 50 users to over 100k users in the past year. We connect it with automations I've built on Make (also an awesome, cheap tool) to create feedback form responses as tickets, and send each ticket to Slack. It's simple, but I don't know what more I could ask from such a cheap tool with easy-to-follow documentation.

Among the free plans choices, Freshdesk has the best features. You can add up to 3 agents to monitor several products and can create separate portals associated with each one. Others platforms like Clickdesk only permits 1 agent and Userecho only 1 forum and 1 agent. If you want to manage various types of requests, then it's for you. You can create multiple boards along with your ticket system. The possibility to change logos and colors are also great. Multilanguage is still missing some points, but that doesn't harm the quality of the service too much.

Best AI Agents for Customer Support in 2026

Customer support runs on AI agents now. In 2026, businesses expect fast, consistent resolutions across every channel, and they're building automated workflows around that standard to scale support without losing quality. Modern AI agents focus on outcomes. They connect with CRMs, process refunds, update accounts, and move work across chat, email, voice, and social platforms without a human touching it. That's the bar the best AI agent for customer support has to clear now.
