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.
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.
I’m lead organizing WordCamp Lisboa 2023 and we did set up a FreeScout account. Best thing ever.
