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.

When I started looking for an open-source alternative, FreeScout immediately turned out to be a very solid system that was also incredibly easy to install. There are a few benefits to self-hosting FreeScout that might not be immediately obvious. Of course, there are economic advantages… There are also legal advantages: all the data is on your premises. No need to tell users that you’re using a third-party service for support interactions. I think the biggest benefit for us as a company is the liberty to create more users and inboxes when we need them and not be bound by very restrictive account limitations or prohibitive costs. I’ll call this one a win. I hope it inspires companies to do the same.
