I love how quick and easy it was to get started!
- Quick
- Easy to learn
- Access to Knowledge Base
- Access to Canned Responses
- They do not check for spelling mistakes, so I commonly have typos I wish would've gotten caught.
- They don't have a status for Pending Client Response, so we find ourselves marking things as Resolved because we don't want to leave it open for hours.
- Great Customization
- Responsive Customer Service that actually helps
- Very easy to use interface for non-tech savvy people!
- Has an A.I bot that can be trained to answer most questions as well
- It's difficult to juggle having two accounts
- There are a lot of premium extra cost features you have to pay for that should be a part of the highest monthly price package.
- Even when you cancel they may accidentally charge you, keep your receipt of cancellation.
The best way to communicate

the hulk app
- Freshchat is a cloud-hosted live messaging and engagement application.
- Saved/Canned responses
- My mobile app uses Freshchat. I wanted something with an SDK that would allow in-app help with information about their install, and tied into a knowledge base also available on the web, which Freshchat does through a FreshDesk integration. We moved from Helpshift because they raised prices to go after bigger customers.

Catch new customers through the leading live chat software
- Freshchat has been offering best-in-class chatbots that primarily focus on intent and engagement.
- It is quite proactive and has rich media campaigns to segment and target audiences.
- Freshchat is also one of my favorite software because it offers seamless integration with apps.
- Freshchat is one of the best platforms, but still there are certain areas that require further improvement in order for the platform to become flawless.
- I feel that the automated system in Freshchat is comparatively slow and due to this, it does not respond well according to all the requirements.
- There are certain features in Freshchat which are not available for everyone and they can only be accessed by those who are paying the highest pricing tier.
Incredible Tool for Live Chat Software
- Freshchat has a well designed user interface which makes it easy to use for all users.
- It is simple for everyone to use.
- Freshchat has all the amazing features of contacting the customers in all-new ways to get more conversions and leads through communicating with them effectively.
- Freshchat even though it is a good software still has some cons associated with it as well.
- There are certain features in Freshchat which are not available for everyone and are available to the highest pricing tier only.
- Moreover, the automated system is quite slow and does not respond well according to all the requirements.
Advanced and efficient support program
- Incorporates well with outsider applications and this upgrades its client interface.
- The stage isn't exceptionally evaluated and this guarantees utilization across all associations. Client care is accessible and able to help all clients in solidly utilizing the stage.
- It allows clients to collect client information and sort discussions for the motivations behind building reasonable assumptions from every conversation.
- Freshchat has a method of uncovering our image through a lot of techniques.
- It has been dependable and we have not had any issues in utilizing the stage in our association.
- We utilize the venture adaptation of Freshchat and I [recently realized] that my association is charged per client, [rather than] a one-time yearly or month-to-month charge which permits us to have however many clients as [possible].
All in one chat support tool
- It has all the amazing features of contacting the customers in all-new ways to get more conversions and leads through communicating with them effectively.
- It is easy to use.
- Its interface is well designed.
- Its interface has all the navigation tabs to easily access the relevant tool on the go.
- The best feature of Freshchat that I like the most is the option of creating specific chat flows in the chatbox.
- The emailing chat script to customers is only available in the highest tier which is a big disadvantage.
- Small businesses can not have access to this feature easily because it needs a lot of money to buy high tier subscription.
- Auto-assignment and auto-close features are not up to mark. They are quite slow and becomes unresponsive while using other features.
- User friendly interface and is easy to learn and use
- Helps in promoting your brand
- Friendly and knowledgeable Customer Support Representative
- Helps in supporting clients, without juggling between multiple apps
- Works well for small teams
- When working on automation feature, there are few issues
- Bot features aren't up to mark when compared to competitors
- No option to filter messages by time, searching conversation takes time
- Certain important features are only available to the highest pricing tier
- User-friendly - this was incredibly important for us as several team members with different backgrounds needed to find the platform mutually easy to use.
- Analytics - the data collected by the tool is accurate and easy to understand, helping us take decisions internally regarding customer targeting and content/site improvements that are necessary.
- Puts us in control - the tool has allowed us to remain totally in control of customer communication/support tickets/automated bots through our sites, an enormous advantage considering other options we looked at outsourced this and therefore could potentially lead to miscommunication or mismanagement.
- Support requests - despite frequent automated emails from the tool to our internal users during the initial on-boarding process, when we actually required some support and reached out, we did not hear back from our 'Onboarding Manager.'
- Languages - it would be great to have options for additional languages in the future (chat bots in particular) as we are a multinational company and have customers from across our regions.
- Customized bot workflow and push notifications.
- Categorizing messages into custom groups and maintaining a priority inbox.
- Tracking of website visitors and segmenting leads.
- Bot communications used to take time to appear, but this was fixed recently and we are now more than satisfied to use it.
- The initial process of setting up a Freshchat account is a long one.
- The billing is per member/month which can get expensive fast.

My experience with Freshchat
- Integration with Whatsapp.
- Intelliassign among our team.
- Channels.
- I miss chatbots integrated.
Freshchat was not as fresh as we would have liked!
- Integrates with Freshdesk FAQs you've already created.
- Integrates with canned responses you've already created.
- Has a similar user experience to Freshdesk.
- Inconsistent notifications - the chat notification works intermittently for agents. They don't always know they have a chat or that a customer responded.
- Does not work in Safari browser. When I discussed with their support, they said just use another browser.
- It is supposed to distribute chats based on ticket load, but it did not seem to do this fairly.
Happy to choose Freshchat
It is used by the customer service department. The best feature that we liked about Freshchat was that there was an FAQ section that was very close to the chat option. This would allow our customers to browse through the FAQs before they decide to reach out to our customer service agent. Additionally, we were able to setup business hours and configure a bot to capture user details (email & mobile) when our agent is away. The look was smooth and it was easy to setup on both web and app.
- Great Design
- Support for FAQs
- Compatible across apps and website
- Super easy to setup
- Setting business hours
- Smooth bot to capture user details
- Allow end-users to rate the response that they received and whether they were satisfied
- AI bot functionality was still under development when we started. It is not a very mature product yet. It would be great if this was added to ease our manpower.
- Reporting could be done much better and more in-depth
- Support for react native apps could be improved. It often gives issues.
