Do I need both Zendesk and Freshdesk?

Both Zendesk and Freshdesk are customer support tools. Many businesses end up subscribed to both without realising they serve overlapping functions. Here is what each one actually does.

What each tool does

Zendesk
customer support
~$55/mo

Customer service platform for managing support tickets, chat and help centre content

Freshdesk
customer support
~$15/mo

Cloud-based customer support software for ticket management and helpdesk operations

Do they overlap?

⚠️
These tools overlap — review before paying for both

Zendesk and Freshdesk are both customer support tools. Most businesses only need one. If both appear in your subscriptions you are likely paying for functionality you already have.

Verdict

Unless your teams genuinely need separate customer support tools, you should consolidate to one. Upload your bank statement to SaaSAuditorPro to find out if you are subscribed to both.
