Front does customer support better than Freshdesk
Top choose Front over Freshdesk because:
- We’re the customer communication hub that redefines traditional help desks
- You shouldn’t have to choose between efficiency and the human touch

Freshdesk
Teams waste time, energy, and revenue opportunities when they don’t have what they need in one place. Your customers will feel the headache too.
No native SMS support
Restricted collaboration tools for non-paid users
Lack of support for both shared and individual email inboxes
Ticketing structure limits ability to create personalized experiences for customers
Trailing, paid-only access to shallow metrics and insights
