## What the models said for it

- "The best ITSM platform for a company with a limited budget is Spiceworks, which provides basic ticketing at no cost" (Llama 4 Maverick, ITSM)
- "If you need a completely free solution, Spiceworks is the best choice." (Mistral Small, ITSM)
- "1. Spiceworks Cloud Help Desk – *Best Completely Free Option*" (Kimi K2, ITSM)
- "Completely free (ad-supported) with unlimited tickets and asset tracking. It's the best entry point for bootstrap budgets, though the ads and dated UX are the tradeoffs." (DeepSeek V4 Flash, ITSM)

## And against it

- "the platform is ad-supported, its functionality is limited, and organizations with meaningful SLA obligations will quickly encounter its limitations" (Claude Haiku 4.5, ITSM)
