FreeScout is the super lightweight and powerful free open source help desk and shared inbox built with PHP (Laravel framework). Now you can enjoy free Zendesk & Help Scout without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control. FreeScout is multichannel — it centralizes all customer conversations from various channels in one place.
This is only great open source alternative for HelpScout. Using this for events and collaboration between teams for small projects. Indeed its very good option compared to paid services if you want to keep an archive of your data forever and prevent data access by service provider.
FreeScout is an absolute gem for my use case. The minimalist and clean interface is actually what brought me to test it, I can’t stand those over complicated products with no ergonomic or pleasant user experience. FreeScout is efficient, straight to the point, and let me manage incoming support requests without any burden. (Using FreeScout for more than 2 years)
