The Freshdesk alternative
One workspace, not three Freshworks SKUs
Freshdesk handles tickets, Freshchat handles messaging, Freshcaller handles voice, and Freddy AI is an add-on across all of them. Chatasist puts every conversation, channel and AI resolution in one inbox — so your team isn't tab-switching across three products you're paying for separately.

No three-product juggling act
Freshdesk + Freshchat + Freshcaller is a stack to manage. Chatasist collapses the same surface into one inbox, one CRM, one bill.
AI without the add-on
Freddy AI is a separately-priced layer. Chatasist's agent is included on every plan and resolves out of the box.

Calls in the same place as chats
Encrypted 1:1 voice and video escalate from any conversation without leaving the inbox — no Freshcaller tab swap.
