Freshdesk is a support & messaging / help desk & ticketing for Indian buyers. It costs about ₹1,499/mo before GST, billed in rupees. It issues an India GST invoice, so you can claim input credit. FindThatSoftware rates it best for indian businesses needing a help desk, and a poor fit if support teams needing separate SLA policies per customer tier, because multiple SLA policies start at Pro, nearly triple the Growth price.
Registered business, per month
₹1,499
Freshdesk is billed in rupees at ₹1,499/mo, so there is no forex markup. A registered business reclaims GST, so that is roughly the cost (₹17,988/yr). Without reclaim, add 18% for about ₹1,769 a month.
Indicative, not a bill. The exchange rate is a single mid-market reference, not a live feed, and GST-registered businesses may reclaim input credit. Confirm current pricing on the vendor site.
