Freshdesk

Ticket help desk with a free plan for small support teams.

Overview

Freshdesk turns email into tickets with assignment, statuses, and a basic knowledge base. The free plan is a real way to start, with automation and reporting on paid tiers. It is less opinionated than Intercom’s messenger and less expansive than a fully configured Zendesk. For a team leaving a shared Gmail inbox, it is often the smallest step that still creates a queue.
