Since the introduction of the Freshworks Paid Apps program with Freshales Users, we saw a growing interest among developers in building a Freshworks Marketplace Paid Apps. Over the last two months, we listened to developer pain points and common queries to understand and improve the developer experience.
Featuring paid apps
We saw Freshdesk AI Ticket Summary a GPT-powered application by BetterApps at ₹5699.0/account/month showing the traction of building AI-powered applications and monetising the AI momentum. This is just the beginning of a whole new exciting journey for app developers.
