About Freshdesk
Freshdesk is Freshworks' help desk, aimed at small and mid-size teams that want ticketing, a knowledge base, and automation without enterprise onboarding. A free tier and self-serve trial keep the funnel short, and buyers frequently evaluate it as the value alternative in Zendesk comparison content, which is where affiliate traffic converts best.
The program runs on PartnerStack with a 90-day cookie, but the published economics are inconsistent and worth reading closely before you model EPC. The official landing page advertises up to 25% recurring commission for the first year plus CPL payouts of up to $200 per qualified lead, the PartnerStack listing states 20% on the first year, and the Freshworks FAQ still says 15% of MRR for 12 months. The $30 to $50 trial CPL for US, UK, AU, CA, and NZ traffic cited in marketplace chatter is not on any official page. Assume rates are tiered or negotiated, and confirm your actual terms in the dashboard after approval.
For experienced affiliates the draw is the hybrid model: CPL income from qualified leads smooths cash flow while the first-year revenue share captures larger accounts. Commission ends at month 12.
