Freshdesk pricing explained

Freshdesk's published plan prices, what counts as a billable seat or unit, what the AI add-ons cost, and worked examples at 3, 10 and 50 agents.

By the help-desk.reviews teamPublished 19 September 2026Updated 19 September 2026Prices and figures verified 18 September 2026

Standalone Freshdesk costs US$19 (Growth), US$55 (Pro) and US$89 (Enterprise) per agent per month on annual billing, or US$23, US$66 and US$107 monthly. Freshdesk Omni costs US$29, US$79 and US$119 on annual billing. These prices are higher than Freshworks' own price list dated June 2025, which showed US$15, US$49 and US$79 for Freshdesk and US$69 and US$109 for Omni Pro and Enterprise; Omni Growth did not change. We found no announcement of the rise from Freshworks, and the old PDF is still online, so third-party price data often shows the lower figures. On top of seats come Freddy AI Copilot at US$29 per agent (Pro and Enterprise), AI Agent session packs at US$49 per 100, and metered MCP actions at US$15 per 1,000 beyond the yearly allowance.

What you are billed for

You pay for full-time agents: anyone who logs in to the help desk daily needs a licence. Occasional agents are unlimited and free to add, but each day they log in uses a day pass, priced at US$2, US$7 or US$12 on Freshdesk Growth, Pro and Enterprise (US$5, US$10 and US$15 on Omni); each plan gets 3 free passes. Collaborators, who can view tagged tickets and add private notes but not reply, are free up to 5,000 on Pro and Enterprise. Seats cannot be reduced during a term: to pay less at renewal you must delete the extra agents first. Source

AI and paid add-ons

Freshdesk sells two kinds of AI. Freddy AI Copilot helps agents draft and summarise; it costs US$29 per agent per month on annual billing (US$35 monthly), can be assigned to any subset of agents, and is sold on Pro and Enterprise only. The Freddy AI Agent answers customers on chat and email and is billed by the session: every interaction between one customer and the AI within 24 hours on chat, or within 72 hours of the first email, counts as one session. Sessions are used up whether or not the issue is resolved, and previews of the bot count too. Each account gets 500 free sessions once, not every month; after that you buy packs of 100 for US$49, which expire at the end of the billing cycle. Auto-recharge adds a pack when fewer than 50 sessions remain. That works out to US$490 per 1,000 sessions, against US$100 in Freshworks' June 2025 price list. See whether you need the AI add-on.

Freshdesk: entry tier is Freshdesk Growth, mid tier is Freshdesk Pro, top tier is Freshdesk Enterprise (standalone Freshdesk, not Omni). Copilot costs US$29 per agent and is not available on Growth. AI Agent sessions are priced at US$49 per pack of 100 with none included monthly, and because sessions count whether or not they resolve, the real bill is higher than the resolutions entered here suggest.

How is the Freddy AI Agent billed?

By session, in packs of 100 for US$49. A session covers one customer's conversation with the AI over 24 hours on chat or 72 hours on email, and it is charged whether or not the problem gets solved. The first 500 sessions are free once per account, and unused packs expire at the end of the billing cycle. See per-seat vs per-resolution pricing.
