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.
Great tool, great code, great style. We were looking for a free and self-hosted email management tool for a long time and found FreeScout only now. It is a pleasure to work with the unobtrusive yet powerful user interface. This seems to be unique in a market of bloated, old-fashioned or overdone, social media focused and overpriced services, hosted on someone else’s systems. Prices for the modules are ridiculous compared to the great added value.
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.
