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: Zoho Desk
Best for European SMBs who want customer support in French, billed in euros, with the option to host data in a European data center and an entry price of €7 per agent. Not for you if you want immediate ease of use: the interface is loaded and initial setup of queues, rules and automations takes several days.
