Intercom works beautifully if you can afford the unpredictable pricing and complexity, but most small businesses end up overpaying for features they never configure.
Intercom's hidden feature paywalls and per-seat costs often triple the advertised price before small teams get the functionality they expected included.
Intercom's pricing model punishes small teams with constant upsells for features competitors include in base plans.
Intercom's enterprise-grade features come with enterprise-grade complexity and costs that small support teams rarely justify.
Intercom works well for mid-sized SaaS companies with engineering support, but most small businesses pay 2-3x more than necessary for features they don't need yet.
