Customer support was poor ----- ### "Freshchat is User-Friendly Apps" — 5.0/5 > **Amirullah** | *December 8, 2022* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Omnichannel feature from all social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and also Google My Business > > **Cons**: Integration with Tiktok as well as marketplaces in Indonesia such as Tokopedia, Shopee, Bilbi or Lazada > > We are very happy with the features in Freshchat, starting from Segmentation and even the Advanced Automation feature which makes it easy for us to create reminders for each of our Agents. ----- ### "Freshchat review by Akash" — 4.0/5 > **Potla** | *July 29, 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The onboarding process is straightforward, and the available documentation is easy to understand. It is a great communication tool for small and growing support teams. > > **Cons**: Customer support could be more responsive, and the platform would benefit from stronger automation and NLP capabilities. > > It was worth the price but I would expect better response for my quires from the Freshchat support team ----- ### "Freshchat is a quality chat application with a confusing backend UI and an impossible login system" — 3.0/5 > **Darien** | *March 2, 2021* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Once I managed to create an account, Freshchat was easy enough to setup and offered a lot of customizable features as well as the ability to add up to 10 users - all for free - which made it a useful application for our non-profit. Their API was also very well documented, allowing for custom code to be run to allow for certain things like triggering the chat via URL redirect, all of which was beneficial for a season. > > **Cons**: The initial setup of freshchat - namely creating an account - was nigh impossible, and extremely confusing. Freshchat offers deep integrations with Freshworks suite of products, but for someone not looking to use their other products, it became a nightmare to start. Creating an account meant creating an account with Freshdesk and a couple other products of theirs, then it only would let me login to the admin panel of my overall Freshworks account (which doesn't allow for access to Freshchat), and then when I finally found the correct login page for Freshchat, their gmail login system would consistently fail and lock me out. In initial setup, I probably spent numerous hours trying to create a freshchat account, and ended up with two or three different accounts - most of which I abandoned because they wouldn't allow me to remove the extra Freshworks products I did not want. As well, basic features such as chatbots \& email responses to chats were all locked behind a paywall - with a trial that failed to explain their use - and a customer service team that barraged me with numerous phone calls \& emails asking me to upgrade from their free tier, even after I said I wasn't interested. Lastly, and perhaps this is user error, but freshchat failed to generate any sort of leads on our website; apart from occasional use, no one used the chat features - which changed the second we switched providers > > Freshchat is a quality chat program that can be difficult to setup and lacks the design quality of other competing brands ----- ### "Great User Experience with Room for Advanced Features" — 5.0/5 > **Rohit** | *June 15, 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Freshchat is an efficient all-in-one communication platform that is easy to use and quick to implement. We were able to get started within days, and the onboarding experience was smooth, convenient, and user-friendly, enabling rapid adoption across the team. > > **Cons**: While the platform is easy to set up and offers a smooth user experience, it lacks some of the advanced features and functionalities available in other tools. Expanding its capabilities would make it a more comprehensive solution for growing business needs. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/106095/freshchat?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/106095/freshchat) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
