Free Self-Hosted Zendesk & Help Scout Alternative

FreeScout is the super lightweight free open source help desk and shared inbox written in PHP7+ (Laravel framework) – self hosted clone of HelpScout. Now you can enjoy free Zendesk & Help Scout without giving up privacy or locking yourself into a service you don't control. FreeScout has been developed from scratch and is not using any copyrighted Help Scout or Zendesk materials.
