Ravine Desk:
About
Ravine Desk is help desk software built for freelancers, consultants, and small development teams who support multiple clients. Each workspace gets its own branded subdomain and client portal, where clients sign in with a magic link instead of a password. Tickets come in through the portal or by email, and client email replies thread into the matching ticket automatically. Billable hours are logged on every comment and roll up into per-client reports. An AI assistant is included on every plan, with a daily briefing and ticket analysis; Team and Pro plans add automatic triage and client-facing status summaries. Pricing is flat and based on technician count, with no per-ticket or per-client fees. Plans start at $12/month, and every plan comes with a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. An early-access Agent Seats add-on lets AI agents such as Claude Code work tickets through a REST API under their own technician identity.
