FreeScout is an open source app written in PHP. It took less than an hour for us to download FreeScout and have it running on our own servers. We’ve been very happy with our move to FreeScout. The product is extremely solid. The developer is very responsive and handles many issues in public on Github. If you are a web design agency and take customer support tickets, I’d seriously consider FreeScout. Yes, it does require a little setup and maintenance. But overall, FreeScout an affordable and reliable alternative to some of the high-priced, closed-source platforms.

I wanted to drop you an email to praise you for an excellent product. As a small web design business and needing to keep on top of my client’s requests, I have tried many systems, DeskPro, Freshdesk, OSTicket and Fluent Support. I was about to jump ship to Help Scout when I stumbled across FreeScout. And I am so glad I did. Not only is your offering so very affordable (even with the purchase of some extra modules), but it just works. No fuss, no hassle, just purely designed to be simple but efficient. I can’t see any reason why I will ever change now. And the fact that you’re continuously developing the software is a plus. I’m so pleased, I’ve even written a blog post about it for my client’s to read.
