OneDesk

OneDesk helps small businesses improve the way they handle daily customer support and project management processes. The platform is affordable and easy to use with little to no training required.

OneDesk combines the capabilities of a help desk and project management tools into a single, easy-to-use platform. Their help desk solution allows you to easily support your customers by capturing, responding to, and managing customer queries, issue reports and service requests, and their project management solution facilitates seamless communication and collaboration between team members, increasing productivity and ensuring deliverables are completed on time.

OneDesk is cloud-based, but they do have an on-premise version that can be installed on your own servers, AWS or MS Azure. Do note that a minimum of 1 year commitment is required to use OneDesk on premise.

OneDesk isn't suitable for large companies and enterprises that are looking for advanced features and customizations.

This price is for employee accounts. Customer accounts are free of charge, without any limits on how many customers you can add. Free 2-week trials are available.
