Freshdesk Freddy AI Agent review

Freshdesk takes a different route to AI pricing: instead of charging from the first resolution, it includes the first 500 Freddy AI Agent sessions on every paid plan, starting with Growth at $19 per agent per month billed annually. A session is one interaction between a customer and the AI agent, and on email Freshworks counts a 72-hour window from the first message as a single session, however many replies the AI sends. That makes costs easy to forecast for teams with modest volume. The help desk itself is mature, with ticketing, a shared inbox, a customer portal and a knowledge base on the entry plan. The trade-offs appear as you grow. Additional sessions cost $49 per 100, multilingual support needs Pro, and connector tasks and MCP actions that let the agent work in other systems are paid add-ons. Freddy AI Copilot for human agents is another $29 per agent.
