Die ausführliche Tabelle, die Wechselgründe und die Fragen unten sind vorläufig nur auf Englisch verfügbar.
| Funktion | Front | ChaosDesk |
|---|---|---|
| Tickets and workspace | ||
| Full ticket model: statuses, fields, forms | Teilweise A shared inbox with tags and custom fields rather than a ticket model with forms, custom statuses and SLA policies. | Ja Statuses grouped under New, Open, Pending, On-hold and Solved, custom statuses, custom fields, conditional ticket forms, and custom objects, approvals and ticket layouts from Pro. |
| Shared and personal views with live counts | Teilweise Inboxes, tags and rules rather than views with live counts and bulk macros. | Ja Group by, column sorting, CSV export, and bulk edit, merge or macro on hundreds of tickets at once. |
| Macros, keyboard shortcuts and play mode | Teilweise Message templates and rules. We could not confirm a play-mode queue. | Ja Macros on every plan, the keyboard shortcuts and search syntax Zendesk agents already know, and play mode with agent capacity from Growth. |
| Side conversations with other teams | Ja Discussions and comments beside the customer thread: one of Front’s strengths. | Ja Email, Slack or Microsoft Teams threads beside the ticket and out of the customer conversation. From Pro. |
| Several brands in one workspace | Teilweise Several shared inboxes with their own addresses; brand separation is inbox-shaped. | Ja Each brand with its own addresses, help centre and forms: 1 on Starter, 5 on Growth, 25 on Pro, 300 on Enterprise. |
| Channels | ||
| Email on your own domain | Ja The best email-client feel in this comparison for teams moving off shared Gmail or Outlook. | Ja Any number of support addresses per brand, DKIM and SPF checks, quote stripping, loop and bounce protection, and a suspended queue for mail that should not become a ticket. |
| Web messenger and web forms | Ja A chat widget for your site. | Ja Messenger with bot flows and verified visitors, plus embeddable contact forms. The snippet keeps the same zE() calls as the Zendesk widget. |
| WhatsApp, SMS and social messaging | Ja WhatsApp, SMS, Facebook and Instagram channels. | Ja WhatsApp Cloud API, SMS through Twilio or your own gateway, Facebook Messenger and page posts, Instagram DMs and comments, Telegram, Viber, LINE, WeChat and X. Message fees are passed through. |

Newer than the rest of the product. |
| Native mobile apps and messenger SDKs | Teilweise Agent apps for iOS and Android. We could not confirm a messenger SDK for your own app. | Teilweise The workspace installs as an app on a phone and sends push today, and the messenger runs full screen in a web view.

| Automation and SLAs | ||
| Triggers, automations and webhooks | Ja Rules with conditions and actions, and a rule builder. | Ja Zendesk-shaped conditions and actions, unlimited on paid plans, with signed webhooks, retries with backoff and a delivery log. |

No per-seat add-on. |
| Autonomous AI agent | Zusatzpaket Autopilot, priced by outcome: $0.39 for a handoff and $0.89 for a resolution, charged once per conversation at the highest outcome reached. | Ja Answers on the messenger, email, WhatsApp and the phone menu, and hands over to a person with a summary. $0.50 per automated resolution. |
| Intent, sentiment and language as rule fields | Teilweise AI tagging and summaries. We could not confirm intent and sentiment as fields that rules can use. | Ja Tagged on arrival and usable in triggers, views and reports. Personal data is redacted before anything leaves the workspace, and AI can be switched off per workspace. |
| Help centre | ||
| Help centre with articles and search | Ja A knowledge base with search. | Ja On every plan, the Free plan included, with AI answers in search, article analytics and searches that found nothing. |

| Export to your data warehouse | Teilweise Through the API or a connector. | Ja Scheduled raw-data export on Enterprise, CSV export and a full workspace export on every paid plan. |
| API and integrations | ||
| Documented REST API | Ja A documented REST API. | Ja An OpenAPI reference with an explorer, cursor pagination and rate-limit headers, at 200 to 2,500 requests a minute depending on the plan. |
| Zendesk-compatible API for your own scripts | Nein Scripts written for Zendesk have to be rewritten. | Ja Tickets, users, organizations, search, uploads, incremental exports and the help centre at /zd/api/v2, with Zendesk request and response shapes. Change the base URL and the token. |
| Sidebar apps and an app framework | Ja An app platform with plugins in the sidebar. | Ja Apps compatible with the Zendesk App Framework run in the ticket sidebar, next to OAuth apps and a connector that shows your own customer data in the ticket. |

| SOC 2 or ISO 27001 report | Ja A SOC 2 report is published: ahead of us here. | Nein Not yet, and we will not pretend otherwise: an independent penetration test and the SOC 2 programme are planned before launch. The trust centre carries the current status. |
| Data location | ||
| EU hosting on every plan | Nicht bestätigt We could not confirm an EU hosting option on the pages we read. | Ja Every workspace is hosted in the EU, on the Free plan too, with backups in the same region and a published subprocessor list and DPA. |
| Choice of another region | Nicht bestätigt Not stated on the pages we read. | Nein EU only today. US and Africa regions are planned for Enterprise customers who need them. |
| Migration | ||
| Built-in importer from Front | Nicht zutreffend Front is the system you are moving from. | Ja Built in and read-only against your old account, with a volume estimate, a dry run, a resumable full import and a report of everything that needs a decision. |
| Getting your data out of Front | Teilweise A company-admin token reads shared inboxes, teammates, contacts, templates and conversations. Private inboxes and rules are not available through the API. | Ja A one-click export of the whole workspace, plus the REST API and incremental exports, so the next move is never blocked by us. |
| Delta sync and parallel run until go-live | Nicht zutreffend The parallel run happens on the ChaosDesk side. | Ja Repeat syncs every few minutes while your team keeps working, then go live one group at a time with the old system read-only as a way back. |
| Plans and support | ||
| Free plan | Nein No free plan; a 14-day trial of Professional without a card. | Ja One agent, 100 tickets a month, email, web form and a help centre. No card. |
| Trial without a card | Ja 14 days of Professional, no card. | Ja 14 days of Pro, then the workspace moves to the Free plan instead of locking you out. |
| No seat caps or ticket limits | Teilweise Starter is capped at 10 seats and Professional at 50, so growth forces a plan change. | Ja Unlimited agents and unlimited tickets on every paid plan. Light agents are free: 5 on Starter, unlimited from Growth. |
| Support and a published uptime SLA | Nicht bestätigt We could not confirm a published uptime SLA on the pages we read. | Ja Email support from Starter, email and chat on Pro, priority support and a named success manager on Enterprise. 99.5 % availability on Pro, 99.9 % on Enterprise. |

Warum Teams von Front wechseln
A full ticketing system instead of a shared inbox — forms, fields, SLA policies, triggers, a help centre and a Zendesk-compatible API — with no seat caps and no copilot add-on.
Seat caps decide your plan for you
Front caps Starter at 10 seats and Professional at 50, so hiring moves you up a tier. ChaosDesk has no seat caps on any paid plan: the plan is about features, not headcount.
A ticket model, not a tidy inbox
Conditional ticket forms, custom fields and statuses, SLA policies with business hours and holidays, group SLAs, approvals and skills-based routing. Front is excellent at shared email; this is the layer above it.
A help centre that belongs to the same product
Articles per brand in as many languages as you support, on your own domain, with request forms, My requests, community forums and AI answers in search, from the Free plan up.
The copilot is not an add-on
Front prices Copilot at $20 per seat a month on Starter and Professional. Ours is in every paid plan under a fair-use allowance, and the autonomous agent is $0.50 per automated resolution.
Lower per seat, too
Professional lists at $65 per seat a month on annual billing ($85 monthly). ChaosDesk Pro is $27: $6,480 a year for 20 agents against $15,600.
Was beim Umzug bleibt
Der Import aus Front ist eingebaut. Er liest Ihr altes Konto nur und ändert dort nichts.
Kommt automatisch mit
- Shared inboxes as groups and teammates as agents
- Contacts
- Message templates as macros
- Conversations with their messages and internal comments
Von Hand nachbauen
- Front rules, rebuilt as triggers: they are not available through the Front API
Private inboxes are not shared through the Front API and cannot be imported. A conversation that sits in several inboxes is imported once. You need an API token created by a company admin.
Wo Front stark ist
Front passt möglicherweise besser zu Ihnen, wenn Ihnen diese Punkte am wichtigsten sind. Ein fairer Vergleich sagt auch das:
- Ein Gefühl wie in einem E-Mail-Programm, mit dem Teams, die von gemeinsamen Gmail- oder Outlook-Postfächern kommen, schnell zurechtkommen.
- Starke interne Zusammenarbeit an gemeinsamen Nachrichten.

Fragen zum Wechsel von Front
Will the team miss Front’s collaboration?
Front’s discussions and comments on a shared message are genuinely good. ChaosDesk covers the same ground with internal notes, @mentions, collision detection and side conversations to other teams by email, Slack or Microsoft Teams, inside a ticket model.
What comes over from Front?
Shared inboxes as groups, teammates as agents, contacts, message templates as macros, and conversations with their messages and internal comments. A conversation in several inboxes is imported once.
What does not come over?
Private inboxes, because Front does not share them through its API, and rules, which are not available through the API either and have to be rebuilt as triggers. The dry-run report shows exactly what the import found.
How do the AI prices compare?
Front prices Copilot at $20 per seat a month on Starter and Professional, and Autopilot by outcome: $0.39 when it hands a conversation to your team and $0.89 when it resolves one itself. Our copilot is in the plan, and the AI agent is $0.50 per automated resolution, with no charge for a hand-off.
What is Front still better at?
The email-client feel for teams moving off shared Gmail or Outlook, collaboration on a shared message, a strong app directory around email and CRM, and a published SOC 2 report. We also could not confirm an EU hosting option for Front, which may matter to you in either direction.
