What small teams usually ask
Is it genuinely free for a small business?
Yes. The free plan covers 5 agents and 500 tickets a month with the complete core helpdesk, forever, with no credit card. It is not a 30-day trial that switches off, and there is no plan you are expected to upgrade to. See pricing for the detail.
We are an early-stage startup. Is this page for us?
Same product and same free plan, different emphasis. If you are still building support around a founder inbox and do not know your ticket volume yet, the free helpdesk for startups page covers that ground instead.
How is this better than a shared inbox?
A shared mailbox has no owner, no status and no history you can report on. Two people answer the same email, or nobody does. A helpdesk gives every request a reference, an owner and a deadline, and tells you afterwards how long things actually took.
Do we need someone technical to set it up?
No. Create a workspace, invite your team and connect your support address. If you would rather not do it yourself, our services team can handle setup and migration for you.
Can we keep our own support email address?
Yes. Connect Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace and customers carry on writing to the address they already use. Nothing changes at their end.
What happens if we outgrow 5 agents?
You add an agent pack from your workspace whenever you need to, and it raises both the agent limit and the monthly ticket allowance. Nothing stops working while you decide.
Can customers see their own tickets?
Yes. The self-service portal lets customers raise a ticket, follow its progress and read your knowledge base without emailing to ask for an update.
Is there anything to install?
No. It is a cloud helpdesk, so there is no server to run, nothing to patch and no maintenance window to plan around.
Do we get SLAs and reporting on the free plan?
Yes, and this is usually where free plans stop. You get SLA policies with response and resolution targets, plus reports on volumes, response times and how the team is performing.
