Whilst there is not a free Zendesk instance, they do offer a 14 day free trial service. After that has ended, you would need to pick a plan that suites your business needs. Plans start from £35 a month, per user and go up to £175 per month, per user. The higher the plan, the more functionality and benefits you get.
