The LatAm customer does not “open a ticket”
They write to the WhatsApp they already have saved. An agent there is worth more than a chat widget.
Freshchat alternative
Freshchat is a helpdesk with WhatsApp as one more channel. 42agents is WhatsApp-first, white-label, and an AI agent, from USD 39 per account.

Freshchat (Freshworks) is support software: web chat, bots, and WhatsApp as a channel inside a support suite. There are dozens of “alternatives to Freshchat” pages because helpdesk is commoditized. 42agents is not an omnichannel helpdesk for a corporation’s CX team. It is a WhatsApp-first product so an agency can resell agent + inbox under its brand, on the number the SMB already uses, with coexistence, from USD 39 per account. 7-day trial; signup in the dashboard. If your client wants “Freshdesk but on WhatsApp” and you want to charge it as a service, 42agents fits better than standing up another Freshworks seat.

BYOK. You don’t depend on the helpdesk’s bundled bot for inbound sales.
