What happened
Between the Sep 7, 2026 and Sep 14, 2026 captures of Freshworks's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: MCP actions add-on introduced across Growth/Pro/Enterprise Freshdesk plans at $15 per 1,000 actions. In detail: New 'MCP actions' add-on introduced across all Freshdesk plans (Growth, Pro, Enterprise) at $15 per 1,000 actions, alongside existing Connector app tasks add-on ($80/5000 tasks). Includes 1,200/6,000/12,000 actions/year by plan tier. Pulse files it as a packaging change (new add-on) with an upward direction. The current page lists Growth at $19, Pro at $55, Enterprise at $89, Connector App Tasks at $80 per 5000 tasks and Freddy AI Agent Sessions at $49 per 100 sessions.

Before that Pulse recorded "Freshworks: Freddy AI Agent gains AI Agent Studio + Improve performance" (Jul 3, 2026) and "Freshworks expands Freddy AI Agent with Studio and performance tools" (Jun 22, 2026).
