How we ranked

• 24/7 live coverage — staffed around the clock, not business hours with an on-call pager.
• Stated response commitments — a response figure the provider states publicly, not negotiated behind a sales call.
• Pricing transparency — published models and a way to test before committing.
• White-label capability — whether an MSP can resell the desk under its own brand and PSA.
• Delivery model fit — shared desk, dedicated team, or staffing, matched to the buyer it claims to serve.

1. Medha Cloud

Medha Cloud runs a white-label L1/L2 help desk for MSPs, with operations in India and the United States. Tickets are worked inside the MSP's own PSA under the MSP's brand, 24/7, with an 8-minute average response time. The company also provides white-label MSP services beyond the help desk: NOC, migrations, and Microsoft 365 administration.

Pricing is offered per-ticket and per-user, and new MSP partners get 5 free tickets to test the desk before signing anything. The company is ISO 27001 certified and a Microsoft Partner.

Fit: MSPs that need L1/L2 capacity delivered under their own brand and PSA, and SMBs that want a direct 24/7 desk.

2. ConnectWise Help Desk Services

ConnectWise Help Desk Services is the outsourced desk arm of ConnectWise, the PSA/RMM vendor. Its team provides client-facing phone, email, and chat support with L1 and L2 technicians, sold as business hours, after-hours, or full 24/7 coverage, and it sits alongside ConnectWise's other staffed services (NOC, SOC).

Response SLAs and pricing are not published; engagements are quoted. Fit: MSPs already running ConnectWise PSA that want the desk and the toolchain from one vendor.

3. Giva

Giva, founded in 1999 and based in California, is a cloud help desk and ITSM software company rather than a desk operator. It appears in outsourcing evaluations because its ticketing, knowledge management, and change management modules are used to run both internal desks and the desks that outsourcing vendors deliver on.

Per-agent subscription pricing is published on its site. Fit: organizations that want to standardize ticketing, reporting, and SLA measurement — before outsourcing, after it, or instead of it.

4. Sherweb

Sherweb is a Canadian cloud distributor whose partner services include a white-label 24/7 help desk for MSPs. The desk answers under the MSP's brand with a dedicated local number and branded chat, works with any major PSA or RMM, and covers phone, chat, and email.

Pricing is offered per-seat, per-ticket, or as a dedicated model; response SLAs are not published. Fit: MSPs already buying licensing through Sherweb that want support capacity from the same distributor.

5. Fixify

Fixify, founded in 2023 in Arlington, Virginia, is a managed help desk that pairs AI triage with human analysts. It connects to the customer's existing ticketing system, so employees keep submitting tickets the same way while Fixify's team works them — device issues, account provisioning, application requests.

The company raised $25M in 2024. Pricing and response SLAs are not published. Fit: mid-size companies with an internal IT team that wants ticket volume taken off its queue without changing tools.

6. CGS

CGS (Computer Generated Solutions), headquartered in New York, runs enterprise help desk outsourcing as part of a broader BPO practice. Delivery centers span the US, Canada, Romania, Chile, Israel, India, and South Africa, with multilingual support across phone, chat, email, and remote desktop.

Contracts are custom-scoped; SLAs and pricing are not published. Fit: enterprises with global, multilingual user bases that need follow-the-sun coverage from one vendor.

7. Auxis

Auxis is a Florida-headquartered outsourcing and consulting firm delivering nearshore service desk operations from Latin America. It runs 24/7/365 coverage and states operational targets publicly: sub-30-second average speed of answer, 5% call abandonment, and 95% of resolution targets met.

Pricing is quote-based. Fit: US mid-market and enterprise organizations that want nearshore time-zone alignment and stated performance targets rather than offshore economics alone.

8. 31West

31West, operating since 2002, delivers 24/7 white-label L1/L2 help desk support from India for small and mid-sized businesses and MSPs. Agents handle troubleshooting, ticket resolution, and escalation management under the client's brand, and the company offers a free trial.

Plans are structured per-hour and per-agent; response SLAs are not published. Fit: SMBs and smaller MSPs buying after-hours or full offshore coverage at the lowest cost tier on this list.

9. Support Adventure

Support Adventure is an MSP staffing company, not a shared desk. It recruits and places remote help desk technicians who work inside the MSP's own processes, tools, and culture as dedicated team members, and it has staffed more than 40 MSPs.

Pricing is per-technician per month; SLAs do not apply because the staff work under the MSP's own service levels. Fit: MSPs that want named, dedicated technicians rather than an outsourced desk with its own workflow.

10. Global Help Desk Services

Global Help Desk Services, based in Rocky Hill, Connecticut, provides US-based dedicated help desk outsourcing for enterprise-sized organizations, with guaranteed service levels written into each contract.

Pricing is quote-based. Fit: large organizations with onshore-only requirements — compliance, data residency, or user preference — that rule out offshore delivery.

What outsourced help desk services cover

An outsourced help desk is a third-party team contracted to answer and resolve end-user IT tickets under defined service levels. L1 covers password resets, account provisioning, software installs, printer and connectivity issues, and triage. L2 covers escalations that need deeper troubleshooting: OS problems, application errors, mailbox and Microsoft 365 issues, endpoint remediation. L3 — engineering-level work on servers and infrastructure — usually stays with the client or a separate managed services contract.

Three pricing models dominate. Per-ticket pricing bills each resolved ticket, which fits variable volume. Per-user per-month pricing bills a flat rate for each supported employee, which fits stable headcount. Per-hour or per-agent pricing bills for staffed time, which fits dedicated or after-hours coverage. Most enterprise contracts are custom-scoped and quote-based regardless of model.

White-label delivery is a distinct variant: the provider answers phones and works tickets under the buying MSP's brand, inside the MSP's PSA, so end clients never see the outsourcer's name. Medha Cloud, Sherweb, and 31West operate this way; CGS, Auxis, and Global Help Desk Services support end users under their own or a co-branded identity.

How to choose

• Get the response commitment in writing, with the measurement method — first human response, not auto-acknowledgment.
• Confirm 24/7 coverage is staffed, not on-call.
• For MSPs: verify the provider works inside your PSA and answers under your brand, and test with a small ticket batch before migrating clients.
• Match the delivery model — shared desk for volume economics, dedicated team or staffing for process control.
• Check where agents sit: offshore lowers cost, nearshore aligns time zones, onshore satisfies compliance and data-residency requirements.
• Review exit terms: ticket history export, documentation handover, and notice period.

FAQ

What does help desk outsourcing cost?

Common ranges are roughly $10–$30 per ticket, $20–$60 per user per month for L1/L2 coverage, or $8–$25 per agent-hour depending on region. Onshore and nearshore delivery costs more than offshore. Most providers on this list quote per engagement; Medha Cloud and Giva publish pricing, and 31West publishes plan structures.

What is the difference between white-label and plain outsourcing?

In plain outsourcing, the provider supports your users under its own name. In white-label outsourcing, the provider answers under your brand, in your PSA, with your greeting — your clients never learn a third party is involved. White-label is the standard model for MSPs reselling support; plain outsourcing is common for internal corporate desks.

Offshore, nearshore, or onshore — which should I pick?

Offshore (India, South Africa) is the lowest cost and works well for 24/7 L1 volume. Nearshore (Latin America for US buyers) costs more but keeps agents in your business hours. Onshore costs the most and is chosen for compliance, data residency, or client-preference reasons. Several providers mix regions: CGS runs all three, Medha Cloud runs India plus US operations.

How does MSP help desk outsourcing differ from corporate outsourcing?

An MSP resells the desk to its own clients, so it needs white-label answering, delivery inside its PSA, per-client reporting, and dispatch rules that match its contracts. A corporate buyer supports only its own employees and can accept the provider's tools and brand. Medha Cloud, ConnectWise, Sherweb, 31West, and Support Adventure are built for the MSP case; Fixify, CGS, Auxis, and Global Help Desk Services target the corporate case.
