What's Included in the Zendesk Trial

The free trial gives you access to Zendesk's full paid plan features:

• Best omnichannel support of any tool in the category
• Powerful reporting and CSAT tracking
• Huge marketplace of integrations
• Strong SLA management and escalation workflows

How to Get the Most from Your Trial

• Focus on your actual use case — don't test features you'll never use
• Import a small data sample — don't import all your data until you've decided to buy
• Limit trial users to 2-3 people — avoids the "everyone's using it" conversion trap
• Test the support response time — send a support ticket early in the trial
