6 Reasons to Choose DeskDay Over SherpaDesk

One Plan, All Features

SherpaDesk tiers out features as you pay more. DeskDay keeps it simple: one flat plan, nothing hidden, everything included.

AI-Powered from Day One

Helena, your AI agent, comes built in. Ticket replies, sentiment checks, past ticket resolution notes and knowledge base suggestions with no add-ons, no extra charge.

Automation Without Complexity

SherpaDesk gives rules and routing. DeskDay delivers full canvas-based workflow automation that your team can set up in minutes.

Chat-Native Service Desk

SherpaDesk relies on email and portals. DeskDay meets your users where they already work: Microsoft Teams, mobile, desktop, web, email or Slack (coming soon).

Modern, Clean Interface

SherpaDesk feels functional but dated. DeskDay is built for ease of use and speed, so techs resolve tickets faster.

Ready to Scale With You

SherpaDesk works for small teams. DeskDay is built for MSPs who want to grow without switching tools later.

Everything Included, From Day One

With SherpaDesk you save money up front. With DeskDay you save time, effort, and headaches down the road, because everything you need is already built in.
