Find the Right Customer Support Software for Your Team

Freshdesk offers a wide range of features—but that can often make it unnecessarily complex. HelpSpace focuses on what really matters: a clean interface, intuitive workflows, and just the right tools your support team needs.

Founded in 2010 in India, Freshdesk is primarily aimed at larger, feature-heavy teams. Its extensive range of modules and customization options can lead to a cluttered interface and longer onboarding times, especially for teams with simpler use cases.

HelpSpace is founded and developed in Germany and designed specifically for small and mid-sized businesses. The interface is intentionally minimal and straightforward, so new users can get started within minutes—without training or technical knowledge.

Tickets can be assigned, commented on, and broken down into tasks that multiple team members can work on in parallel. This helps structure complex requests and speeds up resolution—without losing track of information or responsibilities. An integrated knowledge base makes it easy to respond to recurring questions directly from within the ticket.

Clarity Without the Complexity

Freshdesk covers a wide range of use cases with features like automations, SLA management, bot integrations, and CRM capabilities. For many support teams, this is more than they actually need—and in daily operations, it can lead to added complexity rather than relief.

It’s designed around what truly matters in support: simple handling, clear processes, integrated task management, and a modern, clutter-free interface. No training required, and offered at a fair price.

If you’re looking for a lean, efficient, and user-friendly helpdesk solution, HelpSpace is a strong fit.

CUSTOMER VOICES

Our Clients' Feedback on HelpSpace

Eric J.

Self-employed

"Many of today's ticketing systems are still too complex with a messy interface. Helpspace is completely the opposite. Helpspace has just what it takes. It appears that the new features are well thought out and useful..."

Max W.

CFO in Kanada

"HelpSpace is an excellent all-in-one solution that will handle all of your customer support infrastructure needs in one place! From reconciling all of your company's support emails in one inbox, to creating, hosting help centers and technical document hubs. Plus generate fantastic widgets that you can place on your website to make your support process seamless. We switched from Help Scout to HelpSpace and couldn`t be happier!..."

Slava D.

President Director in Indonesia

"Customer support is great. Software is very simple to use, you can connect with emails in a minute. It's very intuitive and simple."

Mario K.

Marketing and Advertising

"...HelpSpace is the only tool out there (afaik) that combines simplicity with a really great UI to give your team a really amazing UX. My team has mentioned a noticeable increase in speed of operation - because they intuitively find the right button to click and the platform also loads amazingly fast."

Gaurabh M.

Chief Product Officer in USA

"Helpspace is a very well thought out product. Every feature is there for a reason and there is nothing that shouldn't be. This tells me that the team behind Helpspace has got a keen understanding of what I want as a user of the product. That said, they have also managed to provide flexibility and options where you need it, for example the idea of having different themes for the Docs feature is brilliant. What's even better is that they ensure that all their features work well together, such as the ticketing feature working with the Docs feature."

Vivek G.

Manager

"Everything is self explanatory and exactly where it should be. Design is a big part of my business model and HelpSpace Client side interface is beautiful to look at and easy to navigate which fits perfectly to my brand. "

Gerardo M.

Company Owner in Mexiko

"I've been using Helpspace for a few months now and it's the best ticketing system I've ever tried. I really love it. It has the necessary functionalities to fit perfectly into my agency's workflow. There are too many tools out there, with too many features that complicate adoption and use. Helpspace is perfectly developed, without bugs. The UX UI is very well taken care of, being clear and clean. It is a simple but fast and effective software."

Etienne B.

Co-owner in Niederlande

"Helpspace is simple to use, does the job and has some fine features that absolutely add value (knowledge base works well). For the price you pay, you get a good amount of software."
