This page was researched and drafted with AI assistance from the sources listed on it. We have not run hands-on tests of these products. Method: [How we review](https://help-desk.reviews/en-us/how-we-review)

Standalone Freshdesk costs $19 (Growth), $55 (Pro) and $89 (Enterprise) per agent per month on annual billing, or $23, $66 and $107 monthly. Freshdesk Omni costs $29, $79 and $119 on annual billing. These prices are higher than Freshworks' own price list dated June 2025, which showed $15, $49 and $79 for Freshdesk and $69 and $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 $29 per agent (Pro and Enterprise), AI Agent session packs at $49 per 100, and metered MCP actions at $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 $2, $7 or $12 on Freshdesk Growth, Pro and Enterprise ($5, $10 and $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.

## AI and paid add-ons

Freshdesk sells two kinds of AI. Freddy AI Copilot helps agents draft and summarise; it costs $29 per agent per month on annual billing ($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 $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 $490 per 1,000 sessions, against $100 in Freshworks' June 2025 price list.

## Worked examples

Estimated monthly bill for Freshdesk at three team sizes, using the vendor's published list prices with annual billing. This is the same arithmetic as our true-cost calculator; your contract may differ.

|  | Plan | Seats and plan | Agent-assist add-on | AI resolutions | Monthly total | per agent |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 3 agents · Entry tier | Freshdesk Growth | $57 | $0 | $98 | **$155** | $52 — No agent-assist add-on is sold on this plan. |
| 10 agents · Mid tier | Freshdesk Pro | $550 | $290 | $245 | **$1,085** | $109 |
| 50 agents · Mid tier | Freshdesk Pro | $2,750 | $1,450 | $1,225 | **$5,425** | $109 |

_3 agents: 750 tickets a month, 150 of them resolved by AI, agent-assist add-on on for every agent. 10 agents: 2,500 tickets a month, 500 of them resolved by AI, agent-assist add-on on for every agent. 50 agents: 12,500 tickets a month, 2,500 of them resolved by AI, agent-assist add-on on for every agent. Estimates from vendors' published USD list prices with annual billing, verified on the date shown on this page. Taxes, discounts, onboarding fees and telephony usage are not included._

Freshdesk: entry tier is Freshdesk Growth, mid tier is Freshdesk Pro, top tier is Freshdesk Enterprise (standalone Freshdesk, not Omni). Copilot costs $29 per agent and is not available on Growth. AI Agent sessions are priced at $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.
