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 yourself into a service you don't control. FreeScout is multichannel — it centralizes all customer conversations from various channels in one place. FreeScout has been developed from scratch and does not use any copyrighted Help Scout or Zendesk materials.
