Chatwoot is an Open Source Self-hosted Customers Messaging System
Open-source customer engagement suite, an alternative to Intercom, Zendesk, Salesforce Service Cloud etc
Chatwoot is an open-source, self-hosted customer engagement suite. Chatwoot lets you view and manage your customer data, communicate with them irrespective of which medium they use, and re-engage them based on their profile.
It is a free alternative for services like Intercom, Zendesk, Salesforce, and Service Cloud.
As a self-hosted solution, it means you can download the project, and install it on your server.
Chatwoot offers several deployment options, but our favorite one is DigitalOcean as you can deploy it with one-click using Kubernetes. Using this link, you can get $100 credit from DigitalOcean for 60 days, and test, and run Chatwoot for business.
