Amazing improvements to the help center… Amazing improvements to the help center (articles). I'm in charge of keeping all of our articles (writing, updates, etc). Intercom has been making lots of changes to the interface recently that makes my job easier! * Note call out boxes (with COLOR) * tables (formatting, resizing columns, color) * new headers 3 and 4 * "chapters" on the right when you are reading an articles * ability to hide the author (so it's not my name/face everywhere) * more levels within collections They just keep making tiny tweaks that make a HUGE difference!

Good Knowledge Base. It would benefit from additional editing capabilities. I write articles for a system KB, and Intercom gives our users an easy way to access that content without leaving our application UI. I just wish some more editing/formatting improvements were introduced. E.g., table cells can't be easily aligned, or the posts (pop-up messages) don't display exactly how you anticipated while writing the draft, for example, if you add some extra lines to distribute the content, those are not always added when the message appears.

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.

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.

Easy to set up. Big impact immediately. We set up our Rippl chatbot using Intercom in only a few hours, and it has handled many thousands of conversations with users so far. There are plenty of guides and tutorials. Adding it to our landing page was easy as we only needed to add a few lines of code. We are now able to focus on handling the complicated questions that really need human answers.
