| Pricing | Not published · free tier: Reported at $0/month with unlimited technicians and unlimited tickets, funded by in-product advertising | USD $12/seat/month billed annually (Basic; list $18 monthly) · free tier: None — 14-day trial only; nonprofits may qualify for free or discounted access |
| Pricing model | Freemium (advertising-funded free tier) | Subscription (per seat, tiered; AI credits bundled) |
| Best for | Internal IT teams of roughly 1-20 technicians in SMBs, schools, non-profits or small public bodies with no help desk budget, whose needs stop at email intake, a request portal, basic queues and light reporting. | SMB teams of 3–40 in professional services, marketing/creative agencies, real estate or IT services that want a visually driven, self-configurable pipeline running within days — especially teams already on monday work management. Budget for Pro at $28/seat/mo, not the $12 headline. |
| Avoid if | You have contractual SLA or uptime obligations, need custom reporting, API integration or round-robin routing, require on-premise or in-country data residency, need documented SOC 2/ISO/GDPR compliance, or are running an external customer-facing support desk. | You are a solo founder or two-person team (3-seat minimum), need mass email or sequences on a budget, depend on responsive vendor support, require a permanently free tier, must fully disable AI assistants for client confidentiality, or are a large enterprise wanting proven CRM depth, HIPAA outside a quote-only tier and published pricing. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
