Front
Front is built for teams where collaborative inbox workflows matter more than traditional ticket queues: agencies, operations teams, and B2B companies managing high-context conversations across email, SMS, and social.

Who is this best for?
This is the fastest way to decide whether Front is in the right neighborhood.
Best for
- Account management and customer success teams where the primary workflow is relationship-based email conversations rather than high-volume reactive ticket resolution.
- Teams that receive customer communication across many channels (email, SMS, WhatsApp, Twitter DMs, social) and want all of it in a unified collaborative inbox without ticket-system formality.
- Organizations where multiple team members need visibility into and participation in the same customer email thread — Front's internal comments, draft review, and co-authoring features support this collaboration pattern.
Who should avoid
- Traditional ticket-queue workflows; Zendesk/Freshdesk built for that
- E-commerce with order lookup—Gorgias native
- Chat-first, AI deflection—Intercom's Fin and chat UX stronger
- Budget-conscious; Growth $59/seat + AI add-ons = $79–99/seat
- Single-channel (email-only) at scale; Help Scout or Zoho Desk cheaper
- Need mature SLA policies and breach tracking—Front's ticketing lighter
