Why Request Tracker?

Free & Open Source

RT is open source — no licensing costs, no per-user fees. Compared to commercial systems, only infrastructure and operating costs apply.

Unlimited Extensibility

Open architecture with hundreds of available extensions. Other systems limit customizations to predefined configuration options.

AI - Secure & Internal

AI functions run entirely within the company. Company data is NOT used for training external AI models — unlike many cloud systems.

Data Sovereignty

Full control over all data and infrastructure. No dependency on external clouds or unclear data processing policies.

Flexible Workflows

Arbitrary lifecycles, SLAs and automations at no extra cost. Processes adapt to the company — not the other way around.

No Vendor Lock-in

Open source, open standards, own infrastructure. No dependency risk from forced upgrades or price increases.

Custom Fields Without Limits

Unlimited custom fields of any type — free and without restrictions. Other systems limit the number or charge extra for advanced field types.

Email-Native & Multilingual

RT was built from the ground up for email — threading, reply handling and ticket creation directly from the mailbox. Full I18N support for international teams in any number of languages.
