Rationale
HelpDesk is primarily a customer service and ticketing system, not a low-code platform for building custom internal applications like Retool. While it offers some features that overlap, such as API integrations, access control, debugging tools (analytics/reports), workflow automation, and AI assistance for email generation, it lacks the core drag-and-drop UI builder and code customization capabilities that define Retool's offering. The 'Custom Theming & Branding' feature is present in HelpDesk's ability to customize email templates and domains, which aligns with branding aspects. However, the fundamental purpose and functionality of HelpDesk are different from Retool's.
