OSQA Alternatives

OSQA is described as 'is the free, open source Q&A system you've been waiting for. Your OSQA site is more than just an FAQ page, it is a full-featured Q&A community. Users earn points and badges for useful participation, and everyone in the community wins' and is a Q&A service in the education & reference category. There are more than 10 alternatives to OSQA for a variety of platforms, including Online / Web-based, Self-Hosted solutions, Android, Mac and Windows. The best alternative is Stack Overflow. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try Stack Exchange or Codidact. Other great apps like OSQA are Question2Answer, Scoold, Talkyard and Bitfortip.

OSQA alternatives are mainly Q&A Services but may also be Customer Feedback Managers or Customer Support Tools. Filter by these if you want a narrower list of alternatives or looking for a specific functionality of OSQA.
