Freshdesk is customer service software from Freshworks. It turns email and other customer messages into tickets in a shared inbox, with a customer portal, knowledge base, automations, SLA rules and reports. Every paid plan includes Freddy AI Agent with the first 500 sessions free, and higher plans add AI Copilot, custom dashboards and skill-based routing. Freshdesk is a general helpdesk and is not built only for online sellers. It connects to Shopify, Salesforce, Slack and more than 1,000 apps in the Freshworks Marketplace. It has no eBay listing or order tools. eBay, Amazon and Walmart buyer messages can come into Freshdesk through the third-party ChannelReply app. Older Freshdesk help articles also describe a built-in eBay ticket channel, but the current pricing page does not mention it.

FAQ
Freshdesk has three paid plans, priced per agent per month and billed annually in USD: Growth at $19, Pro at $55 and Enterprise at $89. Annual billing saves 20% over monthly billing. All three include the first 500 Freddy AI Agent sessions, and extra sessions cost $49 per 100. Pro and Enterprise can add Freddy AI Copilot for $29 per agent per month, and day passes for occasional agents are sold separately.
Yes. Freshdesk offers a 14-day free trial. When you sign up, you get the Enterprise plan for 14 days, and Freshdesk alerts you before the trial ends. To keep using it, you pick a plan and pay by credit card. If you do not choose a plan, the account is suspended. Freshdesk accepts Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express, but not PayPal.
An Account Administrator goes to Admin, then Account, then Account Details, and clicks Cancel account under Account Status. After choosing a reason, click Request cancellation, and Freshdesk will reach out about the request. Export your data first, since exports can take up to 10 business days. Freshdesk deletes the account and its data 14 days after the subscription end date. You can reactivate within 14 days by emailing support@freshdesk.com.
No. Freshdesk says it is a pay-as-you-go service with no cancellation fees. You can cancel whenever you want, but the cancellation only takes effect at the end of your current term. Downgrades also happen at the end of the term, while upgrades apply right away. You change your plan from the Billing section inside your Freshdesk account.
Freshdesk has no eBay listing or order tools of its own. Sellers usually connect eBay through ChannelReply, a third-party app for Freshdesk. It brings eBay, Amazon, Walmart, Shopify, Etsy, Back Market and Newegg messages into Freshdesk tickets. Replies sent from Freshdesk show up in eBay messages, and agents can manage Resolution Center cases, issue refunds, and approve or decline cancellations and Best Offers. ChannelReply is sold separately.
Freshdesk's integrations page features a Shopify app for engaging with store customers across channels, plus Salesforce for customer data and Slack for team collaboration. It says more than 1,000 ready-to-install integrations are available in the Freshworks Marketplace. Connector apps can also sync data and automate workflows with other tools, using templates, APIs and consumption-based pricing.
Freshdesk's support site lists a sales and support phone number, +1 (866) 832-3090, and the email address support@freshdesk.com. The same email address is used to reactivate a cancelled account within 14 days. The support site also has a knowledge base, a community forum, a video library and agent training through the Freshworks Academy.
Other helpdesks include Zendesk, Zoho Desk, Gorgias, Help Scout, HappyFox and HelpDesk.com. Zendesk, Zoho Desk, Gorgias and Help Scout can also receive eBay messages through ChannelReply, like Freshdesk. For eBay sellers who want buyer messages, feedback and orders in one place without a separate connector, 3Dsellers includes an eBay helpdesk.
