Intercom is a great tool but their… Intercom is a great tool but their sales practices are questionable. They are not transparent, it's very difficult to understand the actual cost of their services and they do everything they can to charge you extras even when you do not use them. It's a shame that they act this way because they will lose their customer base at some point, considering extra costs can add up real quick and for no reason on the customer's point of view.

The backbone of our whole customer relation operation Intercom is the backbone of our whole customer relation operation. We use it to communicate, on-board, and support our users. It is an overall great product but it still suffers from some small UX glitches. You can find yourself looking at stale data in the UI and losing work to some misplaced clicks.

Pricing is designed by scam artists I trusted Intercom for years. But when you investigate the invoices, you will find hidden charges. The best one is where they link pricing to the term 'active users'. In the small print, they write their own definition of 'active users' which includes non-active users from 90 days ago! These are the pricing tactics of true scam artists. For example, If you have 200 chats this month with no other messages sent. But you sent 1 email campaign 90 days ago to 5800 people. They will charge you the rate for 6000 'active' users for the current month. Buyer beware, as it is very difficult to stop using Intercom once you have integrated into your business. We have finally decided to bite the bullet and move to another tool at less than 20% of the cost.

awesome product - ridiculous pricing It's an awesome product that literally covers every aspect of customer engagement with your app but their pricing model is ridiculously: - intransparent - expensive (but like extreme) - volatile (they've changed their model like over 200 times) No matter how great the product, these guys will run into a wall at some point by treating their customers like this.

There has been complete silence from the sales team. The product seems pretty cool... The problem is, I will never know because, since a serious call with someone from the sales team, I haven't heard anything back. I have reached out multiple times because we were interested in implementing the tool internally, but apparently, our company is not interesting enough for them. It's a shame...
