Stop paying for enterprise features you don't need.
Intercom can be complex and expensive. JIVIQ connects your chat, meetings, email, and feature requests into a single customer timeline at a fraction of the cost.

Why founders outgrow Intercom
"I jumped on a demo and had no idea what the lead had already asked."
— Sales context lost
"I replied to the same question three times because chat and email weren't linked."
— Duplicate effort
"A customer asked about a feature I promised 6 weeks ago. I had no record."
— Trust erosion
The Reality of Intercom Pricing
Intercom's starter plans look appealing, until you actually start growing.
- Seat Pricing: You pay for every team member who needs access, discouraging collaboration.
- Module Add-ons: Want product tours? That's extra. Need WhatsApp? Extra. Knowledge base? Extra.
- Enterprise Requirements: Moving from starter to pro often requires annual contracts and large price jumps.
- Hidden Contact Costs: You pay more for having a large user base, even if they aren't actively chatting.
When you should actually stick with Intercom
We aren't for everyone. If you fit this profile, Intercom is likely the better choice:
- Massive Enterprise Support Teams: If you have 50+ support reps needing complex routing rules and shifts.
- Fully Automated Deflection: You want chatbots to deflect 90% of conversations before a human ever sees them.
- Thousands of Niche Integrations: You rely on obscure legacy system integrations that only massive platforms support.
The CRM built for building relationships, not tickets
Founders don't want "support tickets"—they want customer relationships. JIVIQ replaces the fragmented stack of chat, email, and meeting tools with one continuous timeline, giving you total context on every lead and user without the enterprise complexity.
One continuous story. Zero blind spots.
Stop piecing together customer history across five different tabs. Everything lives in a single, beautiful timeline.
- Chat: Real-time website conversations.
- Email: Full email thread sync.
- Meetings: Past and upcoming calendar events.
- Notes & Tasks: Internal context and follow-ups.
Bring clarity to your workspace
Your entire team—sales, support, and success—working from the same inbox.
No more "Did you reply to them?" or forwarding emails. Tag teammates, leave internal notes, and resolve conversations together.
AI that assists, not replaces
Your customers want to talk to the founder, not a bot that guesses answers.
Our AI Draft Assistant reads the context of the conversation and suggests the perfect reply. You review, tweak, and send. Keep the human touch, but work 10x faster.

Scaling Cost
With JIVIQ, adding your co-founder or first hire doesn't double your bill.
