What is Front used for?
Front is a shared inbox and collaboration tool for teams handling email, live chat, SMS, and social messages. It lets multiple people see the same conversation, assign it, leave internal comments, and track it like a ticket, without the sender ever knowing more than one person is involved.
How much does Front cost?
Front sells per-seat subscription tiers that scale with features like automation rules, analytics, and integrations. Exact pricing changes often enough that we'd point you to Front's own pricing page rather than quote a number here. We don't sell or resell Front; we build automation on top of whatever plan you're already on.
Is Front a ticketing system?
It functions like one for a lot of teams. Messages can be assigned, tagged, resolved, and reported on the way a support ticket would be, even though the underlying unit is a conversation in a shared inbox rather than a formal ticket record the way Zendesk or Freshdesk structure it.
Is Front a CRM?
No. Front organizes conversations, not a full customer record with deal stages or pipeline tracking. Teams that need both usually run Front alongside a CRM and connect the two, which is exactly the kind of integration we build.
What are the alternatives to Front?
Zendesk, Help Scout, Gladly, and Intercom all compete in the same shared-inbox-to-helpdesk space, each with a different emphasis (Zendesk on formal ticketing, Help Scout on simplicity, Gladly on a customer-centric timeline instead of tickets). We don't have a stake in which one you run; whichever it is, we build on top of it.
Where do I log into Front?
At app.frontapp.com, or through the desktop and mobile apps once your workspace is set up.
