Given the pullback in demand from SMB customers, Freshworks expects 2023 total revenue of $587 million to $595 million, representing growth of 18% to 19%, down sharply from 34% growth last year. For 2024, analysts are not forecasting much of a rebound, with the consensus revenue estimate of $704.9 million indicating growth of 19.2%.

Freshworks is only growing at the market rate of 15%. By 2026, customer service ARR is expected to represent 35% of total ARR, down from 51% today.
