Contact Center & Telephony

We Include the Call Center.
Freshdesk Charges Extra for It.

With Freshdesk, voice support requires buying Freshcaller as a completely separate product — at full per-agent price. klink.cloud includes a full contact center out of the box.

Freshdesk

Voice Requires Freshcaller

Freshdesk has no native telephony. To handle voice calls, you must subscribe to Freshcaller — a completely separate product with its own per-agent pricing.

  • No built-in voice in core Freshdesk
  • Must buy Freshcaller separately
  • Freshcaller Growth: $29/agent/month extra
  • Freshcaller Pro: $49/agent/month extra
  • Separate login, separate billing, separate support
  • Calls are siloed from tickets & chat
  • Limited IVR on lower Freshcaller plans
  • No AI transcription below enterprise tier
  • AI add-ons cost extra on top
✗ Add $29–$49 per agent, per month just for voice

Real Teams, Real Results
After Switching from Freshdesk

Hear directly from support leaders who made the move — and what happened next.

Capterra ✓ Migrated from Freshdesk

"The migration was shockingly easy. Our entire Freshdesk history — 3 years of tickets — was in klink within 6 hours. Freshdesk's own migration tool took us 3 months years ago. The real-time supervisor dashboard is something we never had before. Our resolution time dropped 68%."

Trustpilot ✓ Migrated from Freshdesk

"Our WhatsApp and LINE volume was huge but Freshdesk barely supported them. With klink.cloud every channel — WhatsApp, LINE, Telegram, phone, email — lands in the same inbox. Our agents stopped missing messages. First-response time improved by 60%."

"I kept putting off switching because I assumed it'd be painful. It wasn't. The klink team did everything — all I did was approve the data import. We were live on a Thursday afternoon and by Friday morning the whole team was operating normally. No downtime, no lost tickets."
