Frequently asked Questions
What is a good Freshdesk alternative for teams that work in Slack?
For teams whose requests already start in Slack, Suptask is a Freshdesk alternative built inside Slack. It is not an app that connects to a help desk somewhere else. The requester, the agent, and the reply all stay in one thread. The agents assign the ticket, change the status and close it in that same thread. Plans start at $15 per agent per month, billed annually.
Partly. Freshdesk agents are able to reply from the Home tab of the Slack app. They can also update the agent, the group, the status and the priority. The channel thread works differently. A reply written in a channel’s ticket notification thread is saved in Freshdesk as a private note, which means the requester does not get it. In Suptask the reply is written in the thread and it reaches the requester.
No, there is no free plan listed on Freshdesk’s pricing page. The paid plans start at $19 per agent per month on annual billing. A new Freshdesk account does get a 14-day trial of the Enterprise plan, and the account is suspended if no plan is chosen. Suptask has no free plan either. You can try the Growth plan free for 14 days, and no card is needed. The requesters are free on every Suptask plan, so only the agents are counted.
Freshdesk costs $19, $55 or $89 per agent per month on annual billing. The Freddy AI Copilot is a $29 add-on, available on the Pro and Enterprise plans, so a Copilot seat starts at $84. Suptask costs $15, $24 or $38 per agent per month, also billed annually, with a Custom plan on request. The entry plans are not a like-for-like comparison. Freshdesk includes its AI Agent and SLA management on the $19 plan, while Suptask includes AI Assistants from $38.
Yes, as long as your customers are reaching you in Slack Connect, by email or on WhatsApp. As an alternative to Freshdesk for B2B support, Suptask keeps the request, the internal discussion and the reply in Slack. Email ticketing is on the Professional plan and above. WhatsApp is on the Custom plan. Two things it does not do. There is no phone or voice support, and there is no Microsoft Teams app.
The setup itself is short. Suptask is added to the Slack workspace and the agents are ready to work, so there is no separate account for each agent to connect. Most teams start with one queue, usually the requests that are already arriving in Slack. Once that queue is running, the email address and the remaining channels are moved across.
