Why Plivo CX is the top Intercom alternative

Pay for only what you need.

Sign up for the pricing plan with the features you need, and get a predictable, transparent bill every month.
Intercom offers bundled packages that come with a determined set of features. Add-ons and extras can mean surprise bills at the end of the month.

Manage multiple channels with ease.

Switch channels with a few clicks, and manage channels simultaneously to deliver true omnichannel service.
Intercom uses a 3rd party provider to switch from messages to voice, which leaves context out of the conversation.

Finally, get everyone on the same page

Collect all customer interactions in one place with the unified agent desktop to get a single source of truth.
Intercom is missing true omnichannel functionality - meaning data silos for your teams. 

Why Plivo CX is the top Five9 alternative

 Get the same features & pay much less.

Sign up for the pricing plan with the features you need. Plivo CX’s prices are transparent and predictable, with essential features included in every plan.
With Five9, you have to upgrade to a more expensive plan to get voice, live chat and SMS/MMS messaging in the same plan. Five9’s pricing is expensive for SMBs, and growing teams.

“The platform {Five9} was launched in December 2022. Seven months later, we are still working with the implementation team to have some of the "out of the box" features working.”

Finally, get everyone on the same page.

Collect all customer interactions in one place with the unified agent desktop to get a single source of truth, and integrated systems.
“The platform is completely disjointed. SMS isn't integrated with the phone components. Work Force Automation is simply a poorly designed API. There are bugs galore.”

Exceptional customer service doesn’t have to be expensive.
