The helpdesk system open source teams actually use.
Stop paying the per-user tax. Chatwoot gives you an omnichannel inbox, AI-powered automation, and 100% data ownership on dedicated German infrastructure.
Why switch to a helpdesk system open source?
Most helpdesk software charges you for growth. Every new agent you hire adds $20 to $99 to your monthly bill. This per-seat model punishes successful teams and forces silos where only a few people can see customer interactions.
Break the per-seat cycle
Chatwoot is a modern, open-source alternative to Intercom and Zendesk. It centralizes your communication without the licensing headaches. By hosting Chatwoot on Opsily, you move from a variable expense to a predictable one. You pay for the server resources, not the number of people sitting in the chairs.
True data sovereignty
When you use a proprietary SaaS, your customer data lives in their cloud. You don't own the database. You don't control the server location. For European companies, this is a compliance risk. A self-hosted helpdesk system open source solution like Chatwoot puts you back in charge. Your data stays on your dedicated server in Frankfurt, fully GDPR-compliant and under your total control.
Omnichannel by default
Customer support is no longer just email. Your customers are on WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, and Live Chat. Chatwoot connects all these channels into one unified inbox. Your team responds from one place, but the customer gets the reply on their preferred platform. No more tab-switching or lost messages.
Why choose a helpdesk system open source with Opsily?

Predictable Costs
SaaS providers like Zendesk charge up to 99/agent/month. Opsily charges for the server. Scale your team to 50 agents without increasing your hosting bill by a single cent.
