Why Choose Kayako?

Customer service and support teams often move to Kayako when they find Intercom is difficult to rely on and scale with. With Intercom, the more you grow, the more you’re charged. This makes it hard to run your team, be productive and manage customer conversations efficiently.

When looking for an Intercom alternative that works for your business, it’s important to know what you’re paying for and how it can be replaced.

When you break down Intercom’s features, this is what you get:
• Live Chat
• Help desk with a shared inbox
• Help center & knowledge base
• Simple CRM for leads and customer contacts
• Bots*

*Note: Intercom bots cannot solve issues. Instead, they pass messages on to a human while your customer waits for someone to get back with a resolution.

Kayako gives you every feature Intercom offers, such as live chat, a shared inbox, a knowledge base and social support at a friendly and affordable price—starting at just $15/agent per month.

And unlike Intercom, with Kayako you’ll never have to worry about third-party integrations or expensive add-ons as your company grows. All the functionality you need is fully integrated and available right out of the box.

Pricing That Doesn’t Punish You For Growing Your Business

You shouldn’t be punished for winning new customers. Kayako is priced per-agent, rather than by the number of customers you talk to or store in your database.

There’s no need to worry about third-party integrations and expensive add-ons as your business grows. All the functionality you need is fully integrated and available straight out of the box.
