   Does what it says on the box

   Freshdesk provides a free helpdesk system so we can manage our support tickets. They have the feature that allows us to send emails through our own email address (vs using their own email address), and an app that works well to respond and organize tickets.

   My biggest gripe with the service is that they are missing a feature that HelpScout has, where we can reply directly to the notification email and that reply gets sent to the customer. With freshdesk, we have to log into their portal or use the app in order to send a reply.

   🏁 Competitors: HelpScout, Zendesk

   👍 Pros:    Straightforward|Free basic plan

   👎 Cons:    Missing a feature

• Beware, read carefully and make conclusions

  Since Freewallet is a quite small company they outsource their "support" from this Indian startup the communication is quite complicated. If the company doesn't want to spend more money in order to hire a good support engineer, and instead prefers to save some money by going offshore. Then this companies' customers swill suffer.

• GraphQL vs REST: 18 Claims Fact-Checked with Primary Sources (2026)

  REST does not define a standard batching mechanism at the protocol level. When batching is needed, it is handled through API design (such as bulk endpoints), infrastructure, or framework-specific solutions. Some specifications attempt to address this, such as OData’s batch format or JSON:API’s compound documents, but adoption is inconsistent. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago
