Pricing

The Connector app add-on is a paid add-on, priced at $80 per 5000 tasks. These tasks will align with your billing cycle. For example, tasks expire monthly if you're on the monthly billing cycle or at the end of the year if you're on the annual plan.

To purchase the add-on, navigate to Admin > Plans and Billing. Then, select the number of Connector App Task Packs you wish to purchase. Please note that you will be able to purchase the add-on only when you have an active subscription on Freshdesk.
