[ Replied vs Freshdesk ]

A Freshdesk alternative without the per-agent bill or the Freddy AI add-on.

Freshdesk is a full help-desk suite — tickets, portals, automations — priced per agent, with its Freddy AI billed separately as a metered add-on. If you mostly want live chat with an AI that answers instantly and hands off to a human, you're paying per seat for a ticketing platform and paying again for the AI. Replied is flat: live chat, AI replies and real analytics on every plan.

[ Why switch ]

Four reasons teams switch.

Not another ticketing suite. The chat, the AI and the analytics, on one flat bill.

01

No per-agent pricing

Add your whole team without the bill climbing per seat. Replied uses flat monthly tiers ($0 / $19 / $49 / $99 / $249) metered on pageviews, never per-seat and never per-resolution.

02

AI replies included, not metered

AI replies come with every tier, with 1,000 extra for $9 if you ever run out. No separate Freddy-style AI add-on billed by session.

03

Live in one line, not a rollout

Paste one script tag and Maya learns your site automatically. No help-desk implementation to staff.

04

Analytics bundled free

Replied is built on a real web analytics engine is bundled free on every plan, so every chat carries visitor context out of the box.
