Our pricing check · price re-verified 2026-09-29 against the vendor's own pricing…Per agent, read 29 Sep 2026 on freshworks.com/freshservice/pricing/: Starter $19/agent/mo billed annually or $29 monthly; Growth $49 or $59; Pro $99 or $119.
What will cost you money if you skim itThe $19 headline rarely survives contact with a real deployment: the ITSM features most IT teams buy for (change/problem management, deeper analytics) live at Pro, and so does Freddy AI Copilot, a $29-an-agent add-on offered only on Pro and Enterprise.

Genuinely good for

IT teams that want proper ITSM (incidents, assets, changes, service catalog) running in weeks, without enterprise-suite implementation pain

Skip it if

you need a simple shared helpdesk (Freshdesk-class is cheaper) or you're at the scale where ServiceNow's depth is genuinely required

The honest comparisonJira Service Management or ServiceNow — JSM undercuts for dev-centric teams; ServiceNow rules the enterprise — Freshservice wins the mid-market on speed-to-value

Work at Freshservice? This page is yours the moment you claim it.

Write your own description and it appears at the top of this page, in your words, free — no fee during beta and no strings. What does not change: our research stays exactly where it is, underneath, and you cannot edit it. That is the point of the page. Two honest caveats before you bother: our audience is still modest and growing, and the outbound link is nofollow ugc, so this is not an SEO play.
