Freshdesk pricing in 2026: plans, Freddy AI costs and what a team pays

By Lukas Böhler Sep 27, 2026 7 min

Key takeaways

  • Freshdesk costs $19 to $89 per agent a month billed annually, and Freshdesk Omni $29 to $119.
  • Freddy AI Agent is billed per session: 500 free sessions once per account, then $49 per 100 sessions.
  • Freddy AI Copilot is a separate add-on at $29 per agent a month billed annually.
  • Ten agents on Omni Pro with Copilot and 1,000 AI Agent sessions cost $1,570 a month at annual list prices.
  • There is no free plan for new teams; the 14-day trial gives access to the Enterprise plan.

Freshdesk pricing starts at $19 per agent per month on the Growth plan, billed annually. Pro costs $55 and Enterprise $89 per agent per month. Freshdesk Omni, the version with omnichannel support, costs $29, $79 and $119 per agent per month on the same three plans (Freshdesk pricing and Freshdesk Omni pricing, checked September 26, 2026). Freddy AI Agent is billed per session on top, after 500 free sessions per account.

This guide covers what each plan includes, how Freddy AI is billed, the add-ons and what a 5-agent, a 10-agent and a 25-agent team pay. All prices are USD list prices from Freshworks’ own pages. If you are weighing a switch, the Gleap and Freshdesk comparison and Gleap pricing cover the other side.

Freshdesk plans and prices

PlanFreshdesk, per agent per monthFreshdesk Omni, per agent per monthWhat the plan adds
Growth$19$29Ticketing and a shared inbox, a customer portal and knowledge base, analytics, threads and tasks, roles and permissions
Pro$55$79A multilingual help desk, custom dashboards and reporting, intelligent routing, multiple SLA policies and external collaborators
Enterprise$89$119Freddy AI Insights, skill-based routing, a sandbox, audit logs and access controls such as allowed domains

Prices are billed annually. Freshworks shows annual billing as “Save 20%”, so paying month to month costs more per agent. Each plan includes everything in the plan above it, and each account gets its first 500 Freddy AI Agent sessions free on any plan.

Freshdesk or Freshdesk Omni

Freshdesk is the ticketing help desk. Freshdesk Omni puts omnichannel support, AI chatbots and AI insights in one workspace. The Omni version costs $10 more per agent per month on Growth, $24 more on Pro and $30 more on Enterprise.

If your customers reach you by chat or messaging as well as email, price Omni from the start: Freshworks describes the Freshdesk plans as AI service over email and the Omni plans as service across channels.

Pricing per workspace, not per agent

Gleap Team includes unlimited seats, projects and every Kai agent, Pro adds advanced reports, LLM model choice and the SOC 2 report, and AI usage is billed separately.

Gleap vs Freshdesk

How Freddy AI is billed

Freshworks sells two AI products for support, billed in different units:

  1. Freddy AI Agent, per session. Each account gets 500 free sessions once, on Growth, Pro or Enterprise. After that you buy packs at $49 per 100 sessions. Freshworks defines an email session as a 72-hour window from the customer’s first email, however many replies the AI sends, and a chat session as all interactions within 24 hours of its start. Session packs expire with your payment cycle: pay quarterly and the sessions expire quarterly.
  2. Freddy AI Copilot, per agent. The assistant for agents (reply help, summaries, translation and sentiment) costs $29 per agent per month billed annually. It is listed as an add-on on Pro and Enterprise, and you can assign it to as many agents as you choose.

Freddy AI Insights is included on Enterprise.

At list price, an AI Agent session costs $0.49 once the free 500 are used. A team whose AI agent handles 1,000 sessions a month pays $490 a month for them, on top of seats.

Freshdesk add-ons and usage fees

Add-onFreshdeskFreshdesk Omni
Freddy AI Agent sessions$49 per 100 sessions$49 per 100 sessions
Freddy AI Copilot$29 per agent per month, billed annually$29 per agent per month, billed annually
Day passes for occasional agents$2, $7 or $12 per pass on Growth, Pro or Enterprise$5, $10 or $15 per pass
Connector app tasks$80 per 5,000 tasks$80 per 5,000 tasks
MCP actions beyond the plan’s yearly allowance$15 per pack of 1,000$15 per pack of 1,000

Day passes give an occasional agent access for one day instead of a full license. The yearly MCP action allowance is 1,200 on Growth, 6,000 on Pro and 12,000 on Enterprise.

What a Freshdesk team pays

These examples use annual list prices from September 26, 2026, before tax and discounts. Each assumes the account’s 500 free AI Agent sessions are used up.

Monthly Freshdesk total for three example teams

  • 5 agents Freshdesk Growth

    $95
  • 10 agents Omni Pro + Copilot, 1,000 AI Agent sessions

    $1,570
  • 25 agents Omni Enterprise + Copilot, 3,000 AI Agent sessions

    $5,170
Totals from the examples in the table below.
TeamPlan and add-onsSeats and AIMonthly total
5 agents, email onlyFreshdesk Growth5 × $19$95
10 agents, chat and email with AIFreshdesk Omni Pro + Copilot, 1,000 AI Agent sessions10 × ($79 + $29) + $490$1,570
25 agents, AI across channelsFreshdesk Omni Enterprise + Copilot, 3,000 AI Agent sessions25 × ($119 + $29) + $1,470$5,170

Two lines grow over time. Seats grow with every hire, and day passes help only for occasional access. AI sessions grow with automation: every conversation the AI agent handles is a session, whether or not it resolves the question.

Free plan and trial

The pricing page lists no free plan (checked September 26, 2026) and offers a 14-day trial with access to the Enterprise plan. Freshworks’ help center, in an article updated January 28, 2026, describes a Freshdesk Free Program for up to two agents for six months that existing Freshdesk customers can switch to. It does not apply to Freshdesk Omni.

When Freshdesk is worth the price

Freshdesk fits teams that want a traditional help desk at a low entry price per agent, with SLA policies, routing and a customer portal, and teams that already use other Freshworks products. At $19 per agent, Growth is a low entry price for email ticketing.

It fits less well when many people need access to tickets, when AI volume grows faster than seats, or when most tickets turn into bug reports and product decisions that live in other tools.

If Zendesk is the other vendor on your shortlist, our Freshdesk vs Zendesk comparison puts plans, AI pricing and team totals side by side.

How Freshdesk pricing compares with Gleap

Gleap prices the workspace, not the agent. As of October 2026, Gleap Starter costs $29 per month billed annually ($35 monthly) with one seat, Team costs $149 per month billed annually ($179 monthly) with unlimited seats and projects and every agent, Pro costs $299 ($359 monthly) with advanced reports, LLM model choice, the SOC 2 report and priority support, and Enterprise starts at $999 per month. Kai Support, Gleap’s AI support agent, is on every plan. Kai Support costs $0.29 per resolution on every plan, not per session.

Agent assistantFreddy AI Copilot, $29 per agent per monthKai Copilot on Team, included
Free planNot for new teams, 14-day trialNo; 7-day free trial on every plan, Starter from $29/month

The trade-offs are real. Gleap Starter has one seat and one project, and email, the knowledge base, the feature roadmap and integrations need Team. On every plan, AI usage comes on top: Kai Support at $0.29 per resolution, Kai Resolve, Kai Code and Kai PM by the work they do. Estimate it with your own ticket volume; the pricing page shows the prices. For a small email-only team, Freshdesk can cost less: five agents on Growth pay $95 a month.

Where Gleap differs is what happens after the ticket. Bug reports from your app carry a screenshot and technical details, and on Team and up, Kai Resolve investigates hard tickets and prepares coding tasks that your engineers review. The Freshdesk comparison lists both products side by side, and our list of Freshdesk alternatives compares ten more tools.
