FreeScout is the super lightweight and powerful free open source help desk and shared inbox written in PHP (Laravel framework). It is a self hosted clone of HelpScout. Now you can enjoy free Zendesk & Help Scout without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
I want to use this opportunity to thank you so much for creating this awesome software and make it available for free to everyone. In my voluntary work we manage a shared mail address and with 5 persons it was such a big mess before switching to FreeScout. We also had a look at other helpdesk software before we found FreeScout, but the fees per agent always exceeded our yearly budget.
This app has made it incredibly easy for me to manage my departments because it allows all email communication to run through a single platform. The added modules are well worth the price if you decide you need their features and are relatively easy to deploy. The community around the app is also active enough on their GitHub page, so if you are struggling, it won’t feel like you are the only one using the app. For what it costs and can do, I will forever recommend Free Scout…
