Maxdesk is a free help desk software designed for growing support teams, offering unlimited agents and unlimited tickets without per-seat pricing or a credit card requirement. It aims to solve the problem of small teams quickly outgrowing free plans and facing paywalls by providing a comprehensive solution that eliminates agent-counting restrictions.
Key features include:
- Ticket Management: A centralized view for conversations, sidebars, activity, priorities, statuses, assignments, internal notes, and attachments.
- Email-to-Ticket Conversion: Each workspace receives a dedicated support email address, automatically converting incoming emails into threaded tickets.
- SLA Management: Set SLA targets based on priority, honor business hours, and track breaches directly from the dashboard.
- Automations: Create rules (trigger, condition, action) within the UI to route, tag, escalate, or auto-reply to tickets.
- Support Dashboard: Monitor critical metrics such as open tickets, SLA breaches, CSAT scores, and response times, with 7-day trends and a live feed.
- Team & Brand Customization: Define various team roles (admins, agents, supervisors, read-only), create groups for routing, control ticket scope, and apply your branding (logo, colors, fonts).
- Knowledge Base: A built-in knowledge base to empower customers and agents with self-service options.
Maxdesk consolidates various support workflows into a single platform, eliminating the need for multiple disparate tools and allowing teams to focus on delivering excellent customer service.
