Fin can handle complex customer queries using natural language, significantly reducing the workload on support teams. > > **Cons**: Intercom is expensive, especially for startups and small businesses. Their AI agent, Fin, charges about $0.99 per resolution, which adds up quickly at scale. > > Intercom is a powerful customer communication platform with industry-leading automation and AI capabilities. ----- ### "The Best Live Chat Platform\!" — 4.0/5 > **Zoe** | *March 27, 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Having a live AI-powered support chat available 24/7 is an incredibly useful tool for many businesses. Whenever customers have questions, the chat can try to help even in off-hours. > > **Cons**: The price can be a little steep for smaller businesses, and response times can be a little slow sometimes. > > Overall have dealt with positive experiences with Intercom, and the AI-tools are quite impressive. ----- ### "Intercom review" — 4.0/5 > **Ayomikun** | *February 17, 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Intercom makes live chat interesting and comes with good reports to track performance > > **Cons**: You can't do a text search on your closed tickets. The only search available is the global search on all tickets > > Intercoms is a great tool and makes live chat seemless ----- ### "Like Feeling Like a Sales Commission Cash Cow? Intercom is for you." — 1.0/5 > **Mark** | *April 29, 2025* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software works wonderfully. Performs exactly as advertised and works well across multiple channels. You could say the same about Intercom's competitors though. > > **Cons**: Working with the sales team is like walking onto a used car lot in a shady part of town. You're on your own and no one cares. We have been a customer for 2+ years. Intercom Sales Ninja reaches out in January for a meeting. I ask if anything has changed. They so say no, and so I decline. Turns out Intercom changed their pricing in January. New pricing is roughly 30% lower for our feature set. Our contract auto-renews in February. Whoops, I'm busy running a business, I don't obsessively check the Intercom pricing page. Rather than simply re-adjust our pricing to the lower price point when the contract auto renews, like every other software vendor that doesn't view their customers as wallets they can pick, they hope we don't notice. Whatever, my fault. I reach out to add a new seat to the contract, so we can get a new contract under the new pricing. Simple, right? Me: Hey, I noticed the new pricing. Add a seat and send over a new contract with the new pricing. Easy peasy? Sales Ninja: Sure, no problem. I'll send over a contract. 2 days later - Sales Ninja Docusigns a contract with a new seat under the old 30% higher rate. Cool move to trick us into 12 more months of the old pricing. Luckily, I read contracts before signing. Me: Hey, you sent the wrong thing. Here's what we need (again). Sales Ninja: Sure, no problem. 2 days later - Sale Ninja Docusigns another contract with a bunch of extra stuff I didn't ask for like thousands of dollars in minimum commitments to emails and FinAI responses that the website clearly states are pay as you go. Email Sales Ninja back pointing out we clearly didn't ask for all the minimum commitments on pay as you go messages. Wait 5 days. Don't hear anything. Set yet another godforsaken Google Meet that should be an email because Sales Ninja loves to waste your time to break your spirits. Google Meet goes exactly like you would expect. Sales Ninja provides vague excuses about why the extra stuff needs to be there. I still don't have a contract signed and I hate these guys. Anyway, The software is great. At least four different colleagues have asked what we use and I always lead with my experiences with the sales team. This isn't the first time something like this has happened. Changing support systems is hard, so think long and hard if you're willing to deal with a commission obsessed sales team. They certainly aren't there to help you. ----- ### "Intuitive, reliable, and forward-thinking" — 5.0/5 > **Sofia** | *August 19, 2025* | Financial Services Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It’s a simple yet powerful tool that keeps our CX and sales teams running seamlessly. I really value their commitment to continuous innovation. Their AI tools and help center features are excellent, and everything feels incredibly intuitive. From inbound to outbound, it’s a fantastic platform for delivering outstanding CX. > > **Cons**: There’s nothing I dislike. There are features I wish they offered, but that’s different from disliking anything. > > Nothing but great. From transparent, clear pricing to a sleek product that feels native to our app (even though we haven’t fully leveraged it) they are, in my opinion, leading the way in shaping the present and future of support. ----- Page: 1 / 47\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/134347/intercom?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/134347/intercom) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
