Unlimited contacts, transparent pricing
Whether you reach 2K or 2M people each month, HelpCrunch stays affordable as your business grows. Our pricing is based on the number of team members and emails (if you use them) — no hidden fees for reached people or expensive add-ons. Pay for what you use.
INTERCOM DOESN'T OFFER TRUE MULTI-CHANNEL MESSAGING, but we DO
Manage customer requests more effectively with a shared inbox for all communication channels. Switch between chats and emails in one click. Receive and answer messages from Facebook, Instagram, and popular messengers in one dashboard.
WhatsApp integration - coming soon!
Incredibly useful site for customer experience
First and foremost, it's a very easy website to use. Furthermore, you can easily adjust the settings to make them fit your needs perfectly. At Candeno we offer a livechat and we use HelpCrunch for this. Earlier we used Intercom, but HelpCrunch is way easier to use and set up, and the variety of options helps you a lot, but aren't overwhelming.

This is the tool I was looking for
We were looking for an alternative to Intercom to be more affordable, it was very easy to switch by migrating all our data from Intercom to HelpCrunch easily and for free. Overall experience has been great, pricing is right, super easy to setup, their support team are amazing and always active to answer all our questions and needs, the onboarding is just right that even helps us internally with ideas and inspiration like the auto follow-up messages. I really can't find any cons for HelpCrunch till now. They are just amazing.

Best option for small businesses
User-friendly admin panel, great price, very helpful support, best-written knowledge base. The best alternative to Intercom. Lots of options. I am not even sure if I need a chatbot anymore, as there are enough options for using messages and popups. Easy to use for anyone. My newly hired inexperienced customer support agent just turned it on and understood all the features immediately. I have been using and testing numerous apps so far, and HelpCrunch is truly a winner.

Excellent platform for customer interaction with great support
We integrated HelpCrunch into our customer success workflow to replace two separate products, Zendesk and Intercom. So far, it has successfully covered both functions at a more affordable price and provided some extra features as well. We like the easy-to-use interface, the features that allow us to efficiently handle all customer interaction (chat & email) as well as proactive chats, emails and website popup software for our onboarding process. Their support is great, having extensive documentation and a very responsive team.

Free migration from Intercom
Excellent support is part of our DNA. But we want to take it a step further and migrate all the contacts, email templates, and site automations from your Intercom account for free. Just submit a request, and we'll take care of the rest.
Customer support that actually cares about you
Does it take days to get replies from Intercom?
Do they miss the point half the time?
HelpCrunch is customer-centric all the way. Our dedicated customer success team is always there for you, ready to assist with any issue you may have.
Customizable chat experience with a full-scale help center
Customize your chat widget in any way you want, add special tweaks via custom CSS, and integrate the help center to reduce the number of requests. Not ready to talk? You can hide the chat section and show just the help center to turn your widget into a 24/7 self-service hub.
