[new] Download Live Helper Chat

Live Helper Chat (LHC) is a free, open-source live chat support application written in PHP. It is designed to provide real-time support to website visitors while offering a backend interface that rivals paid enterprise solutions. Unlike services like Intercom or Zendesk Chat, which charge monthly fees per agent, LHC is self-hosted. This means you once, host it on your own infrastructure, and retain full control over your data and costs.

For the cleanest installation, developers prefer using Composer. This ensures you get the latest stable code along with all dependencies. download live helper chat
