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.
I evaluated a lot of ticket systems for us both hosted and SaaS. FreeScout is just what I was looking for and it seems to hold up to our internal testing. A great plus is the “intuitive” UI that is very similar to a classic email client. That makes is easier for seasoned office workers to get used to the workflows.

I started with Chatwoot, then Zammad and now FreeScout. I really appreciate the simplicity of the software. And it’s super lightweight on server resources. Runs about 10 times less RAM at idle verse Zammad. I use the ticketing system concept as part of my sales funnel for an apparel business.
