Wizard Application includes a help desk as part of one platform that also runs projects, sales, invoicing and HR.

Where Freshdesk is strong
Freshdesk is a mature, well-designed help desk. Its ticketing, automations and knowledge base cover what most support teams need, and it scales from small teams to large ones. For businesses that want a focused support tool, it is a strong choice.
Where Wizard Application is different
- One help desk for everyone. The help desk handles customers, employees and candidates in one inbox, rather than separate customer and IT products.
- Support next to the work. Tickets sit alongside the client, the project and the invoice.
- The rest of the business too. Projects, a sales CRM, invoicing and HR on one subscription.
- We move you across. Our migration team maps your tickets, contacts and help articles into Wizard Application, and you check everything on a staging link before you switch.
Which should you choose
Freshdesk may suit you better if customer support is your main need and you want a focused, specialist tool for it.
Wizard Application may suit you better if you want support connected to clients, projects, billing and people on one platform.
Moving from Freshdesk
If you decide to switch, our migration service starts with a free assessment. We map your data, give you a private staging link to check everything, and you keep working in Freshdesk until you are ready, so there is no downtime.
