User opinions about Freshservice price and value

Value for money rating:

Of 77 reviews that provide robust commentary on Freshservice's price and value, 70% mention it in a positive light.

Some users report that Freshservice offers a generous free tier, which supports a significant number of users and provides many core features, making it attractive for small businesses and startups. Reviewers appreciate the ability to trial different pricing levels and customize the experience before committing, which helps them assess value for money. Some users say they have reduced costs by consolidating multiple tools into Freshservice, and they find the platform affordable and feature-rich for the price, especially as it regularly adds new functionalities at no extra cost. Reviewers indicate that the pricing is competitive compared to other ITSM solutions, and they value the scalable, flexible plans that grow with their business needs.

However, some reviewers find the tiered pricing system frustrating, as certain desirable features are only available in higher-priced plans, making it difficult to access all functionalities without upgrading. Some users feel that the basic version lacks important features and that costs can rise quickly as needs expand, particularly for larger organizations or when adding more users. Reviewers mention that determining the right licensing level can be confusing due to unclear feature descriptions, and some feel that the free plan is limited in functionality and support. Some users say that, for their budget, Freshservice becomes expensive once the free plan is no longer sufficient.

Integrations rated by users

We looked at 642 user reviews to identify which products are mentioned as Freshservice integrations and how users feel about them.

Jira logo
Jira

Integration rating: 3.5 (6)

Fresh Service is our customer facing application, while JIRA is used internally for reporting bugs/issues with our software development. Of the several integrations available, proper setup instructions are lacking, and a more integrated workflow between the two apps is still desired.

Other departments work there and need escalations to go via this. We dont have the ORG API version as JIRA is not yet in the cloud, the app if good for now but has pitfalls.

To work with development. Had to develop my own orchestration as JIRA integration for FreshService is not bi-directional.

This integration meets our needs and it is good that we can update Jira issues straight from Freshservice

Slack

Integration rating: 4.3 (3)

Our agents use the Freshservice Slack bot to receive notifications of ticket updates. This works very well, but we're unable to install it for all users in our Slack workspace sadly.

This allows us to take tickets directly from Slack so that our development team have a better experience with the helpdesk team
