Intercom Pricing Plan & Cost Guide

Pros
I love that we can get in touch with our customers through various mediums like in-app, mobile, web-app, email etc. Also, their support icon isn't obtrusive at all.

Cons
It's expensive and they don't have a cheap starting plan. Pricing based on the no. of users is fine, but atleast try to keep it cheap when a business starts out.

Pros
We love the ability to chat with all users currently on our site. This helps us walk new users through the process and help our conversion rate significantly.

Cons
A few years ago the pricing was way too high for us, but recently they lowered the price so it is more affordable for us now.

Rating breakdown

Pros
When Intercom first came out, it felt like the missing piece to many web applications customer tracking. It was more useful for SaaS than most CRMs and a better customer support tool as well. Being able to track user activity in it also made it a nice dashboard to get insights on active/inactive users.

Cons
Cost is our biggest problem with Intercom. Since we started using it, it became more and more expensive. Upon just checking the pricing page now, it seems like prices have come down slightly since what I remember, but while it is a great tool, I do not feel that I can recommend it to every new app coming out because of price.

Pros
Easy to set up for developers (and non-developers), and includes everything I need to manage communication between my company and my leads/customers.

Cons
Pricing, it's a little expensive for all the products - but fortunately I was approved for the special Startup pricing, so it isn't so bad at the moment!

Pros
- Real-time chat with customers - Email marketing and segmenting which helps converts leads - Lowers churn because you can capture and engage users who are dropping off - Very easy to use, with a lovely user interface

Cons
- Can get a little expensive as your users grow - Price is plan is not fixed, so you have to manually remove old users (or visitors to your site) to keep your price plan down or it will rocket without you realizing

Rating breakdown

Pros
The integration of support desk, chat, messaging, customer & website analytics is so seamless. It's a real strength to have everything together in the right spot ready to act on .

Cons
Definitely Price. Their pricing model is geared toward SAAS model businesses and is a bit pricing e-commerce.

Rating breakdown

Likelihood to recommend: 10/10

Pros
- UI/UX - Ease of learn - Integration with your app (depending on your stack I suppose) - Client facing quality / customisation options of the tool

Cons
- Price point for different packages. Because you have to pay per month for each and there are 2 tiers for each, for a smaller startup it's expensive. Have to work with them to grow into it. - The product isn't that great relative to a self build if you got big enough. You'd want to look at building your own solution.

Pros
Intercom really makes it easy to interact with your customers in a meaningful way. Users can get triggers on different pages, and engage with you via a great interface.

Cons
Honestly it's very expensive for a startup to have. I was very surprised that their pricing options didn't included a free option with the very basic features.

Rating breakdown

Likelihood to recommend: 8/10

Pros
The functionalities that help me my work daily in the best possible way The continuous updates that keep making this product alive and growing

Cons
The new interface is not comfortable to me, specially the the left navigation bar of conversations The bunch of frequent emails that I get lost to follow them all Their price is really expensive

Rating breakdown

Pros
Great way to engage with your users. It even lets you track what users are asking, and the interface towards the users is also working great. And even though some of the features are really complex there's a customer support second to none to what I've seen other places.

Cons
Pricing is pretty heavy even with not that many customers. But the product is addicting for the possibilites, data and ease of use, but pricing is something to think about.

Pros
Intercom is the best tool if you are running SaaS! There is no better tool for onboarding. You can use Intercom as a chat, you can create onboarding funnels, you can easily create the knowledge base and more!

Cons
I think the price could be lower. There are currently many solutions that try to imitate Intercom and they offer a better price. But none of those tools is as good as Intercom.

Pros
What I like most about this software is that it allows us to deliver quality customer support for all of our apps in real time. Also, it's reporting and data collection features are second to none.

Cons
What I like least about this software is the clarify of fees/charges. We were surprised by the amount we were being charged due to a lack of clarity on product pricing. It wasn't clear about how they charge you per month. Once we understood, it was easy to see the value, but it would be good for users to know up front.

Rating breakdown

Pros
Easy to connect with customers, prospects or anyone else that wants to chat. I love the notes between my team that are hidden from the conversation. New chat bots are cool.

Cons
It is pretty expensive, the chat bots, for example, are useful, but the cost is high relative to what we are already paying.

Pros
Easy implementation, low cost, user friendly. Intercom's live chat tool was quickly enabled on our cloud-based SaaS client platform. It's ease of use allows customers to instantly interact with our support team and quickly address their needs. Has great reporting tools and great customer support.

Cons
Needs more options to set icon on user site to draw attention to live chat feature available. Pop-ups, icon scrolling, etc. would be a nice addition.

Pros
the system is really refined, well built and easy to setup. The support team is amazing The pricing is reasonable The job pool and allocation is great

Cons
Tickets don't have numbers attached to them. The UX can use some work. For example, its too much work to swap between open and closed tickets when I do it all day. But this is just a nitpick.

Pros
Intercom can deliver an all-in-one tool set for customer communication in one platform. No need for various solutions and providers, that makes managing customer interaction easy. So it's definitely a good product.

Cons
Price is too high and too feature complex for small business. Chat is well done, but nothing earth shattering.

Pros
Great tool to automate and create triggers to send automated emails to our clients. We can set different conditions and based on the conditions select the email that should be sent.

Cons
Pricing can increase if your user list becomes a lot. Overall a good product that makes communication easier with clients.

Rating breakdown

Pros

The pricing plans are very confusing, and I feel like there should be one overall plan for the whole product.

Great tool

Admin are agent? It's a cheat.

Rating breakdown

Likelihood to recommend: 3/10

Pros
The product is easy to implement and use. No need for trainings all users understand what is needed to be done in 15 minutes of explainations.

Cons
The pricing model that makes us work in deleting contacts on a weekly basis. We usually interact with useres ones, they ask question and we answer. The pricing is based on number of users, so continuing paying for a user that we dont have any interaction with is waste of money. So every week we delete the contacts just for paying less.

Rating breakdown

Likelihood to recommend: 10/10

Pros
Easy to get started and customize data we send to them. Filtering within their UI is nice and helps our support team find customers quickly.

It is very costly for what it does. There are many other similar pieces of software for about the same price that can do more.

Rating breakdown

Likelihood to recommend: 6/10

Pros
- Plain and easy to use design - Has most of the features that are needed for any industry - Provides multiple platform options which helps to integrate in all platforms of any products
