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.
One aspect of Freescout which we appreciate very much coming from a very top heavy and overbuilt system is how light Freescout is on server and browser resources. Freescout is the only open source helpdesk written in PHP and simple enough to administer for a small business. The other open source solutions are either hideous and ugly or so overwrought that installing and maintaining a working install would almost require hiring another server admin with specialised knowledge.
I really like FreeScout. I’ve bought few modules and have been developing my own module for my needs. App is great, customizable, easy to use and more powerful than I thought. I use it every day, almost 4k tickets in the last month. It works well and made supporting our customers a better, faster, cleaner experience. Respect!
