# Zendesk alternatives for events

Zendesk is a customer service suite priced per agent, with email, voice, SMS, live chat and messaging on every current Suite plan. You may look for an alternative when your support questions are mostly about tickets and orders, or when pricing per agent no longer fits your team. We describe each platform from its own published pages.

## Which should you choose?

### Where Ticket Fairy is stronger

- In Instagram and Messenger conversations, you can see the fan's recent orders beside the message.[1](#source-1)
- Your team can find an order from any detail the buyer gives, then resend tickets, correct a name or move them to another ticket type or seat.[2](#source-2)
- Your ticket concierge can answer buyers on your website from your own answers and pages, and put tickets in their basket when they are ready.[3](#source-3)

### Where Zendesk is stronger

- All current Zendesk Suite plans include email, voice, SMS, live chat, and messaging across web, mobile and social media.[4](#source-4)
- The Zendesk Marketplace lists 1,800+ apps, partners and integrations.[5](#source-5)
- Zendesk can translate AI agent responses automatically into over 80 supported languages.[6](#source-6)

Ticket Fairy is the better fit when your support questions are about tickets and orders, and you want your team to refund orders and resend tickets on the order itself. Zendesk remains the better fit when you run support across voice, email and messaging and rely on its app marketplace.

## What else should you know about moving from Zendesk?

What is the best Zendesk alternative for event organizers?:  Ticket Fairy suits you if most questions are about tickets, because your team sees the buyer's orders and fixes them on the order. Gorgias and Help Scout suit online shops on Shopify, and Intercom and Freshdesk suit teams that want an AI agent across many channels. [1](#source-1) [2](#source-2) [39](#source-39) [40](#source-40) [41](#source-41) [42](#source-42)

How is Zendesk priced compared with its alternatives?:  Zendesk charges per agent each month, and charges for AI agent use only when the AI agent resolves a request without a person. Gorgias prices by tickets rather than agents, Help Scout has a free plan for 5 users, and Front starts at $25 per seat. [43](#source-43) [44](#source-44) [45](#source-45) [46](#source-46)

Which Zendesk alternatives show the buyer's order beside the conversation?:  With Ticket Fairy, your team can see a fan's recent orders beside Instagram and Messenger conversations and find any order from one detail the buyer gives. Gorgias, Help Scout, Freshdesk and Front show Shopify orders in their sidebars. [1](#source-1) [2](#source-2) [47](#source-47) [40](#source-40) [48](#source-48) [49](#source-49)

Which Zendesk alternatives answer questions with AI?:  Every platform on this list has an AI agent. Ticket Fairy's concierge answers from your FAQ, policy and venue pages or your whole website, Intercom's Fin learns from articles and public URLs, and Help Scout's Scout learns from Docs, websites and files. [14](#source-14) [50](#source-50) [51](#source-51) [52](#source-52) [53](#source-53) [54](#source-54)

Which Zendesk alternatives have a free plan?:  Help Scout has a free plan with 5 users, 1 Inbox and 1 Docs site, and Freshdesk offers a free program for up to two agents for 6 months. [45](#source-45) [55](#source-55)

Can you export your tickets from Zendesk?:  Yes. Zendesk admins can export tickets, users and organizations as JSON, CSV or XML once Zendesk support enables exports, except on Team plans. Every plan can export through the REST API. [56](#source-56)

## What changes when you answer buyers from the same place you sell their tickets?

Nobody on your team copies an order number from one tool to another, because your concierge and your team carry on each buyer's conversation from where it stopped.

1. **A buyer asks on your website** Your concierge can answer from your FAQ, policy and venue pages. [Teach your concierge from your event FAQ pages and Google Docs](https://www.ticketfairy.com/guides/teach-your-concierge-from-your-event-faq-pages)
2. **Your concierge sells the tickets** When the buyer is ready, the concierge can put their tickets in the basket and open checkout on your page. [Your AI ticket concierge](https://www.ticketfairy.com/features/ai-ticket-concierge)
3. **Your team takes the hard questions** The concierge can pass the buyer to your team with a summary, in the same inbox as Instagram and Messenger. [The shared Support Inbox](https://www.ticketfairy.com/features/orders-refunds-and-resale/shared-buyer-support-inbox)
4. **Your team fixes the order** Your team can find the order from any detail the buyer gives, then resend the tickets, correct a name or change the seat. [Find and fix orders](https://www.ticketfairy.com/features/orders-refunds-and-resale/find-and-fix-orders)

Your team sees the buyer's question, their tickets and the concierge's answer together, from the first question to the fixed order.
