Freshdesk
FREE PLAN
Approachable omnichannel support from the Freshworks suite.

GitLab
OPEN SOURCE
The complete DevOps platform in a single application.

G
GitHub
FREE PLAN
Where the world hosts, reviews and ships code.
Best for — any team that writes software collaboratively.

P
Productboard
FREE TRIAL
Product management from customer feedback to roadmap.
Best for — product teams turning scattered feedback into prioritized roadmaps.

Deep behavioral analytics with a mature governance story. Pricing at scale is enterprise-shaped.
