Live chat that's actually part of your business.
Intercom is an excellent customer-messaging suite — and a fine one if support is all you're solving. But it's a standalone tool you bolt onto your CRM and marketing, billed per seat with AI metered per resolution. Landing Platform puts live chat, a shared inbox and tickets inside the same platform as your CRM, email, automation and commerce.

You bought Intercom to simplify. Then the stack crept back.
✕ Your support chat lives in Intercom, your customer data lives elsewhere, and the two only talk through an integration you maintain.
✕ The bill is a moving target: per-seat plans, plus Fin AI charged per resolution, plus add-ons for SMS and WhatsApp.
✕ Intercom handles conversations beautifully — but you still pay separately for the CRM, marketing, pages and commerce.
Half your business vs all of it
Intercom is great at its slice. Landing Platform is the one place your whole operation lives.
Great support. Bolted on.
- A mature, AI-first support & messaging platform — chat, inbox, ticketing, help centre
- Fin AI is one of the strongest agents — resolves ~two-thirds of questions
- Per-seat: $29 / $85 / $132 per seat/mo (annual)
- Fin billed separately at $0.99 per resolution (monthly minimum)
- 350+ integrations to connect the CRM/marketing/commerce that live outside
- Built for support — not a CRM, marketing suite or commerce platform
Chat inside the whole business.
- Live chat, shared inbox & support tickets built in — not a separate product
- A chat is captured as a contact/lead/deal automatically — no sync
- CRM, AI pages, email + SMS, automation, commerce, analytics & portal in one login
- Flat pricing, unlimited seats — the bill doesn't climb on a busy month
- AI included in the plan, not metered per resolution
- From £1,000/mo to £4,000/mo — replacing a stack of separate tools

"But we already use Intercom…"
Honestly — for pure support depth Intercom is excellent and Fin is one of the best AI support agents on the market. If a deep standalone support suite is all you need, it's a strong choice. Our angle is different: our chat, inbox and tickets are good and they live inside your CRM, marketing and commerce, so a conversation automatically becomes a contact and a deal — and you're not paying $0.99 every time the AI closes a chat on top of per-seat fees.
If you're happy maintaining the integrations between Intercom and everything else, it works. The cost is the seams: data synced between systems, context that doesn't follow the customer, and a separate bill for each tool. With us, chat, CRM, email, pages and commerce are one system — the record a support agent sees is the same one sales and marketing work from, with nothing to sync.
It depends on volume, but the shape changes. Intercom grows with both seats and AI resolutions. We're flat with unlimited seats and AI included — and replacing your separate CRM, email/SMS, pages and commerce too. So you're comparing one predictable platform bill against Intercom's per-seat-plus-per-resolution support cost plus everything else in your stack.
"We were running our PR, social scheduling and the rest of our marketing across half a dozen tools that never talked. Now it's all in one place: one login, one source of truth — we plan, schedule and measure from a single screen, and watch it all work together."
Claim a founding seat
Leaving Intercom? Join the founding cohort: the Operations Vanguard from £1,000/month (only 10 Operations seats), or the full platform at £4,000/month (first 10). Flat, unlimited seats, AI included, pricing locked two years — and you help shape the roadmap. When the seats are gone, they're gone.
From the team at Pivotal. Founding & Vanguard seats are limited — once they're placed, founding pricing closes.
