Why they switch

What we hear on intro calls

Three patterns from customers who moved from Freddy AI (Freshworks) to Auralis.

"Freddy was fine. It just wasn't moving the deflection number."

A 45-agent SaaS support team had Freddy turned on and plateaued at ~25% deflection. Auralis took the optimization loop and broke through. Result: ~58% deflection by Week 7 · FRT improved 35%

"We were planning a helpdesk consolidation."

A growth-stage company was on Freshdesk and Zendesk in different business units. Freddy couldn't span both. Auralis worked across both with one service. Result: One AI vendor · consolidation unblocked

"The Freddy upgrade pushed us into a tier we didn't need."

A 30-agent team needed Freddy's advanced capabilities but the tier jump added 35% to the Freshworks bill. Auralis sat on top of their existing tier at lower cost. Result: ~30% lower combined bill · deflection target hit
