How much does Zoho Desk cost?
Zoho Desk sells per-agent monthly or annual plans, with a free tier for very small teams and paid tiers adding features like SLAs, automation, and multi-department support as you go up. Pricing changes often enough that we'd point you to Zoho's own pricing page for current numbers rather than quote a stale one here. We don't sell or resell Zoho Desk; we build automation on top of whatever plan you're running.
Does Zoho Desk have a free plan?
Yes, Zoho Desk offers a free tier aimed at small teams with a limited number of agents and a trimmed-down feature set. Paid plans add SLAs, automation rules, and deeper reporting.
How does Zoho Desk compare to Freshdesk?
Both are ticketing-and-helpdesk platforms aimed at the same kind of support team, and the honest answer is they overlap more than they differ: similar ticket queues, SLA rules, and automation. The real difference usually comes down to which ecosystem you're already in. Zoho Desk pulls together more tightly with Zoho CRM, Books, and Inventory; Freshdesk sits inside the Freshworks suite instead. We don't have a stake in which one you pick; we build on top of whichever one you're already running.
Does Zoho Desk have an API?
Yes. Zoho Desk has a documented REST API that supports tickets, contacts, and most of the data an agent works with, which is what makes it realistic to connect to systems outside the Zoho ecosystem instead of being limited to Zoho's own native integrations.
Is Zoho Desk the same as Zoho CRM?
No. Zoho CRM manages contacts, deals, and the sales pipeline. Zoho Desk manages support tickets. They're built to connect to each other natively if you run both, but they're separate products built for different teams.
