Deal Highlights
Freshchat — Modern Messaging for Customer Engagement
Freshchat by Freshworks is a customer messaging platform that combines live chat, AI chatbots, and messaging across web, mobile, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Apple Business Chat. It is designed for teams that want Intercom-level engagement at Freshworks pricing.
Omnichannel Messaging
Meet customers where they are — web chat, in-app messages, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, Apple Business Chat, and email. All conversations flow into one inbox. Agents handle every channel from a single interface.
Freddy AI Chatbot
Freddy AI resolves common questions automatically using your knowledge base. It handles FAQs, order tracking, appointment booking, and lead qualification. When the bot cannot help, it seamlessly hands off to a human agent with full conversation context.
Proactive Messaging
Trigger messages based on user behavior — visited the pricing page 3 times, spent 2 minutes on checkout, or returned after 30 days. Proactive campaigns convert more visitors than waiting for them to initiate contact.
Freshchat vs Intercom
Intercom is the premium option at $74+/seat. Freshchat starts free with comparable messaging features. Intercom has better product tours and onboarding. Freshchat integrates better with the Freshworks ecosystem (Freshdesk, Freshsales).
