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.

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.

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.

We used to be fan of Intercom We used to be fan of Intercom. We're now still using Intercom for our non-profit but will have to change soon. Their support is really slow and inflexible. They change pricing from a day to the other without consideration. So be mindful, they have no consideration for their users, it's just really about money! EDIT: No one from their team ever reached out (obviously) Recently we've also had more issues with them (pricing changing with no warnings,...)

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.
