Our verdict: Freshdesk
Recommended for French-speaking SMEs and e-commerce businesses who want a complete helpdesk in French with affordable AI automation from the Growth plan. Not suitable if you're looking for a sustainable free option for more than 2 agents, or an ultra-specialized single-channel solution (chat-only for example).
Our verdict: Zendesk AI
Designed for support teams of significant size (20+ agents) with high ticket volume. SMEs under 10 agents will find setup laborious and costs quickly out of control with per-resolution billing. Prefer Intercom or Tidio to start.
