SendHub vs Intercom โ feature by feature
A transparent comparison so you can make the right choice.
Why teams switch from Intercom to SendHub
10x cheaper for WhatsApp teams
Intercom charges $29/seat + $29.99/mo WhatsApp subscription + $0.03-0.10 per conversation + $0.99 per AI resolution. For a 5-person team handling 2,000 conversations with 500 AI resolutions, that's $600+/mo. SendHub does the same for $49/mo flat.
No per-resolution AI fees
Intercom's Fin AI agent charges $0.99 per resolution. That means every time AI successfully handles a conversation, you pay nearly a dollar. 500 AI resolutions per month adds $495 to your bill. SendHub includes 1,000 AI replies in your plan โ no per-use fees, no surprise charges.
Built for WhatsApp, not bolted on
Intercom has 2,957 UI screens across product tours, help desks, knowledge bases, and more. WhatsApp is just one small channel in a massive platform. SendHub is built WhatsApp-first โ every feature is designed around how WhatsApp conversations actually work. Less complexity, more results.
