Migrate your Aritic Desk data
Budget-focused helpdesk ticketing from the Aritic suite — an affordable all-in-one for SMBs that want ticket management, knowledge base, and SLA tracking without enterprise pricing.
In its favor
Why people choose Aritic Desk
The signal that keeps Aritic Desk on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Free tier with up to 3 agents lets small support teams evaluate the full ticketing workflow before committing to a paid plan, according to Aritic pricing page.
Agent-based pricing at $9/agent/month is accessible for growing SMBs compared to per-seat costs on enterprise platforms like Zendesk or Freshdesk.
Multibrand support on the Professional plan allows agencies managing multiple client brands to route tickets within a single Aritic Desk instance.
Built-in CSAT surveys, performance dashboards, and hourly insights analytics come standard on paid tiers without add-on costs.
Part of a broader Aritic suite (PinPoint, Sales, Mail) means teams can expand into marketing automation or CRM without migrating to a new vendor.
Integration with existing websites is cited as difficult and requiring technical experience, a consistent complaint in G2 reviews for Aritic Desk.
As a relatively niche Indian-developed platform, enterprise-grade customers report insufficient documentation and support SLA depth compared to established Western vendors.
Teams outgrow the feature set — advanced automation, AI-powered routing, and sophisticated workflow builders available in Zendesk or Freshdesk are limited or absent in Aritic Desk.
Billing is agent-seat based, so scaling support teams directly multiplies cost with no volume discounts documented for larger deployments.

Pricing tiers
Aritic Desk pricing overview
Aritic Desk uses a per-agent-per-month pricing model with three published tiers. The free plan supports up to 3 agents, the Starter plan starts at $9/agent/month, and the Professional plan is $29/agent/month. There is no documented volume discount for larger teams, and all features appear to be billed per-agent rather than per-organization.

What gets migrated
Aritic Desk object support
Object-by-object support for Aritic Desk migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Tickets
Fully supportedTickets are the core object. We migrate ticket ID, subject, description, status (Open/Closed/Pending), priority, type, channel source, created/updated timestamps, and internal notes. Custom ticket fields are mapped as properties in the destination.
Customers
Fully supportedCustomer records migrate with name, email, phone, company, address, and lifecycle timestamp. We preserve any customer-specific properties and tags. Customer-to-ticket associations are maintained via the ticket's requester and CC fields.
Organizations
Fully supportedOrganization/company records transfer with name, domain, industry, size tier, and owner assignment. The link between Customer records and their parent Organization is preserved during migration.
Agents
Fully supportedAgent profiles migrate including name, email, role (Admin/Agent), department assignment, and active/inactive status. We map agent IDs to destination user records and flag any custom permission profiles that may require manual reconfiguration.
Knowledge Base Articles
Mapping requiredArticles carry title, body content, author, creation date, and publish status. We map them to destination KB structures but flag articles with embedded macros or dynamic tokens that will not resolve in the new system.
KB Categories and Sections
Fully supportedThe hierarchical folder structure for KB content (Categories containing Sections containing Articles) is preserved. We replicate the same parent-child relationships in the destination knowledge base.
Macros
Mapping requiredMacros are text templates with variable placeholders used by agents for rapid ticket response. We extract macro content and flag macros with Aritic-specific dynamic tokens that require manual review or replacement in the destination.
SLAs and Business Rules
Mapping requiredSLA policies (first response time, resolution time) and automated business rules (ticket routing, priority escalation) are documented as structured metadata. We map these to equivalent destination rule engines but flag conditional logic that may not translate 1:1.
CSAT Survey Responses
Mapping requiredCSAT scores and survey responses are linked to ticket records. We preserve the rating value, respondent email, and ticket reference. If the destination has a different survey model, responses land as read-only historical records.
Attachments
Mapping requiredFile attachments on tickets and KB articles are extracted and uploaded to destination storage. We flag files exceeding the destination's size limit or unsupported file types for manual handling.
Tags
Fully supportedTags applied to tickets and customers migrate as flat label arrays. We verify tag character encoding compatibility between source and destination systems.
Time Entries
Mapping requiredBillable or internal time logged against tickets transfers as structured time records with agent, duration, description, and billable flag. We map to destination time tracking objects where available.
Triggers and Automations
Mapping requiredEvent-driven automation rules (Triggers) are documented as metadata. We extract the trigger conditions and actions and flag automations that depend on Aritic-specific field values or third-party integrations not available in the destination.
Reports and Dashboards
Not in this platformPerformance dashboards and analytics reports in Aritic Desk are tied to its proprietary reporting engine and do not have a documented export format. We do not migrate report definitions; we recommend rebuilding key reports in the destination using migrated ticket data as the source.
