Same product
Your products and team, in one installation
A self-hosted installation serves one workspace with unlimited products and agents. Work from the shared inbox, connect chat and support email, supply app context and use notes, tags and saved replies. The core workflow uses the same source as hosted mode.
Hosted
Managed service- Choose a plan around conversation volume.
- Add unlimited products and invite your team without per-seat pricing.
- Each conversation counts once, in the month it first opens.
Self-hosted
Your infrastructure- Run the same core support tools on your infrastructure.
- The AGPLv3 source is free to self-host and includes a Docker Compose configuration.
- You provide the hosting and email setup.
The core workflow uses the same source as hosted mode.

Your SMTP provider
Delivers agent replies by email
