Frequently Asked Questions
Does Freshdesk still offer a free plan?
A Free Program exists for up to 2 agents, priced at $0 for 6 months with no credit card required, though it does not appear on the main pricing page and is easy to miss. It covers core ticketing, a basic knowledge base, and pre-built reports, but not automation or AI features.
What happens when my 14 day trial ends?
Every new signup gets full Enterprise tier access for 14 days, and once that trial ends the account either moves to a paid plan selected at checkout or, if eligible, the Free Program. Without action, an unpaid account is suspended rather than automatically charged.
Can I get a refund if I cancel partway through my term?
No. Freshdesk is billed pay as you go with no cancellation fees, but canceling takes effect only at the end of the current billing term, and refunds are not issued for unused time already paid.
How much does annual billing actually save compared to monthly?
Paying annually is commonly described as 12 months for the price of 10, working out to roughly 17% off the monthly rate, though the exact percentage can vary depending on the specific plan and any active promotion.
Is there a nonprofit discount available?
Freshdesk has a nonprofit application process, but the actual discount that gets approved varies quite a bit by organization, with some nonprofits reporting a discount well below the headline figure advertised on the nonprofit page. It is worth applying and seeing what is actually offered before assuming a specific percentage.
What happens if I add or remove agent seats mid cycle?
Adding a seat mid cycle generates a prorated charge for the remaining days in the term at the current rate. Removing a seat typically only reduces the bill starting at the next renewal, so a seat removed partway through a term is often still paid for through the end of that term.
Do startups get a special discount?
Freshworks runs a startup program through select partners offering a steep discount on Pro plans in the first year that tapers down in the following years, typically limited to companies that have raised under a certain funding threshold.
