Jira's secret sauce is the way it simplifies the complexities of software development into manageable units of work Jira comes out-of-the-box with everything agile teams need to ship value to customers faster.. On the other hand, Jira Service Desk is detailed as "It is a helpdesk request tracker". It lets you receive, track, manage and resolve requests from your team's customers. It is built for IT, support, and internal business teams, it empowers teams to track, prioritize, and resolve service requests, all in one place.
Jira belongs to "Issue Tracking" category of the tech stack, while Jira Service Desk can be primarily classified under "Help Desk".
YouTrack feels much more lightweight than Jira and additionally have all of features that Jira have, of course lacks at some analytics features, but it's more powerful at permission management and agile workflow. Additionally YouTrack have awesome integration with other JetBrains products such as incoming JetBrains Space and all other IDEs such as GoLand.
