Compare
Honest, dated comparisons of tools for a Freshdesk knowledge base: link checkers, translation apps, export apps and TidyKB, with prices and sources.
Freshdesk itself does part of this job. Multilingual articles and versioning sit on its Pro plan at $55 per agent a month on annual billing, and its knowledge base feature list has no link check, no find and replace for article text and no automatic translation. So the rest gets bought, and the alternatives split by what they were built for.
Generic link checkers crawl any site: Dr. Link Check starts at $13 a month. They only see public HTML, so a link to an article you deleted scores as healthy. Translation apps come out of software localisation. Lokalise lists $149 a month and its Freshdesk integration is in beta, Crowdin’s Freshdesk app is still on version 1.0, and Weglot translates the portal’s front end from $17 a month rather than the articles themselves. The closest comparable product, Swifteq Help Center Manager, does the hygiene job well at €69 a month on annual billing, but it is Zendesk only and counts each translation as a separate article record.
