Freshdesk Freddy AI review

Freshdesk is the value play for a small team that handles most support by email. The Growth plan costs $19 per agent per month billed annually and includes the Freddy AI Agent with the first 500 sessions, alongside ticketing, a shared inbox, a customer portal with a knowledge base and built-in reports. For a two or three person team, 500 sessions covers a lot of routine questions before any extra cost; after that, more sessions cost $49 per 100. Freshworks gives new accounts 14 days on the Enterprise plan, which makes it easy to test the AI agent on real tickets. The catch is scope. Growth is pitched as AI-powered service over email, so chat-heavy businesses will want Freshworks' chat products or a different tool, and multilingual support, custom dashboards and smart routing are kept for Pro at $55 per agent. Connector app tasks and MCP actions that let the AI work in other systems are paid add-ons.
