From First Message to Resolved Ticket

Help desk software is a system that tracks, assigns, and resolves customer or employee requests through tickets from submission to resolution. Here is what that looks like in practice.

  • A request arrives: By email, live chat, WhatsApp, or a web form. Every one lands in the same queue instead of a personal inbox.
  • It becomes a ticket and routes itself: With an owner, a priority, and a deadline attached. Rules send it to the right team and escalate before the SLA is missed.
  • AI answers the repeat questions: AI Agents read the ticket, pull context, and reply without a human, so the same five questions stop reaching your team. Available as an add-on.
  • A person takes the hard ones, and it closes: Bugs, edge cases, and anything needing judgement go to an agent with the full history attached. Resolution time and CSAT then show where to fix the cause, not just the ticket.
icon Steps one, two and four come in the plan. $99 a month for five agents.

No tier to graduate into, and no feature to buy back later. Step three is the AI add-on: AI Copilot at $20 per agent per month, AI Agent at $20 per 1,000 AI credits per month. Flat published rates, never per-resolution fees.

BoldDesk AI

Three Ways AI Works Inside Your Help Desk

From autonomous resolution to instant self-service, BoldDesk AI cuts reply time and ticket volume, not just typing time. 

AI Agents

Resolve routine tickets automatically

Resolve up to 70% of inquiries automatically. AI Agents handle common requests from start to finish: they read the ticket, pull context, and respond or act, so your queue shrinks instead of growing. AI Agent

AI Copilot

Cut reply time and keep every answer on-brand

When a ticket needs a human, AI drafts context-aware replies, summarizes long threads, and refines tone, so agents answer faster and stay consistent. AI Copilot

AI Self-Service

Answer before a ticket is ever created

AI-powered search surfaces answers from your knowledge base, and AI drafts help articles from a single topic, building round-the-clock self-service. Knowledge base

AI is an add-on at flat published rates, never per-resolution fees. AI Copilot is $20 per agent per month, AI Agent is $20 per 1,000 AI credits per month, with starter credits in every plan. 

Connect Your CRM, Billing, and Team Tools

Agents should not leave the ticket to find out who the customer is or what they pay. Connect a system once and its data shows up on every relevant ticket.

Five Things to Check Before You Buy

The questions worth asking any vendor, and how BoldDesk answers them.

  • Ask this
  • Why it matters
  • BoldDesk
  • Does the price rise as AI works?
  • Per-resolution billing means better AI costs you more.

  • No. Flat, published pricing with no per-resolution AI fees. AI Copilot: $20 per agent/month. AI Agent: $20 per 1,000 AI credits

  • What will 50 agents cost?
  • Entry prices look alike. Tier upgrades create the gap.

  • $499 a month. One plan, so the price is the price.

  • Is SSO on the top plan only?
  • Security features are the usual reason to force an upgrade.

  • Included at every team size. There is no enterprise tier.

  • Are my channels included?
  • WhatsApp, social, and chat are often paid add-ons.

  • 10+ channels in the plan, all landing in one inbox.

  • What do I pay while switching?
  • Running two tools during migration means paying twice.

  • Free migration, plus up to 6 months of contract buyout.

  • Fully cloud-hosted, so there is no server to provision, patch, or maintain, and every update lands automatically.

    Help Desk Software FAQs

    Help desk software is a system that tracks, assigns, and resolves customer or employee requests through tickets from submission to resolution.

    It converts messages from channels like email, web forms, and chats into tickets, routes them to the right team, and tracks status until closure.

    ticketing system converts submitted customer issues into tickets that can be tracked, prioritized, and resolved. It focuses on organizing incoming requests. A help desk includes ticketing but adds automationknowledge base managementreporting, SLA tracking, multichannel support, and team collaboration. In short: a ticketing system organizes support requests, and a help desk is the full customer support platform.

    Yes. BoldDesk has native apps on iOS and Android, so agents can pick up tickets, reply, and update status away from a desk. See mobile help desk.

    BoldDesk is cloud-based, built on a SaaS multi-tenant cloud-native architecture. There is no on-premise or self-hosted deployment option, so if your organisation requires software to run inside your own infrastructure, BoldDesk will not meet that requirement.

    BoldDesk uses one all-inclusive plan priced by team size. It starts at $99 a month for 5 agents billed yearly and runs to $999 a month for 100 agents. Every plan includes a 15 day free trial, no credit card required, and a 30 day money-back guarantee. See full pricing.

    Voice runs through native dialer integrations rather than a BoldDesk-built phone system. Aircall, Ringover, Exotel, Ozonetel, KrispCall, and Twilio all connect, so agents make and receive calls inside BoldDesk and every call is tracked as a ticket alongside email, chat, and social. See the full integrations list.

    Yes. BoldDesk follows strong security practices, including role-based access controls, data encryption, single sign-on support, detailed audit logs, and compliance-aligned safeguards such as GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2-aligned controls. Because BoldDesk has a single plan, these apply to every customer rather than being reserved for an enterprise tier. For full details see the Trust and Security page.

    Fast. Guided onboarding is included on every plan and most teams are productive within hours of go-live. Start the 15-day free trial with no credit card, connect your support inbox and any other channels you use, and you are taking tickets the same day. This applies whether you are buying helpdesk software for the first time or replacing a shared inbox and a spreadsheet.

    Yes. BoldDesk offers free expert migration to move your data from tools like Zendesk, Freshdesk, or Zoho Desk. Tickets, contacts, knowledge base, and automations are rebuilt, you review everything in a live sandbox first, and most teams are live in weeks.

    Starter AI credits are included in every plan. As of July 2026, bolddesk.com/pricing lists a limited-time offer under which subscription AI credits are included for the first 3 months from your subscription start date, with additional credits available for purchase after that. AI Copilot and AI Agents are add-ons on top of the base plan, charged at flat published rates rather than per resolution. See current pricing for the live terms.

    BoldDesk is a commercial product with a 15 day free trial that unlocks every feature, no credit card required. Startups may qualify for a free plan based on eligibility. If you are switching from another vendor, BoldDesk buys out up to 6 months of your existing contract.
