Before you decide
Freshdesk Freddy AI: Paid Freshdesk seats plus email AI Agent session packs. The 500 included sessions are a one-time allowance, not a monthly quota. Chat AI uses Freshdesk Omni with separate pricing. Optional Freddy Copilot costs $35/agent/month on Pro or Enterprise. Genesys Cloud AI: Contact-center licenses plus AI tokens for selected capabilities. Named, concurrent and hourly licensing options are available; included tokens vary by package and organization. Extra AI consumption, telephony and implementation can change the total. Ask both vendors to quote the same expected workload, required channels, and implementation scope. Include required subscriptions and usage charges before comparing the total; the listed starting prices alone may cover different work.
The recorded sources for Freshdesk Freddy AI include Freshdesk solutions; tickets; web content; customer context. For Genesys Cloud AI, they include knowledge bases; interaction history; CRM; transcripts; procedures. Ask each vendor to demonstrate ingestion or live access for the exact system you use, with permissions and refresh behavior. A source missing from this directory is not proof that a vendor cannot support it.
Use the same sample of real support requests, approved knowledge, and escalation rules in both pilots. Can it cite or restrict answers to approved knowledge? What happens when the agent is uncertain? Which actions can it complete beyond answering? Record answer quality, completed tasks, human handoffs, and total cost in the buyer worksheet. Check these specific cautions before launch: Freshdesk Freddy AI: AI features are plan/add-on dependent and session pricing differs from seat pricing. Genesys Cloud AI: AI capabilities and telephony costs are edition/add-on dependent; implementation can be complex.
