Built to scale

Compliance made easy
Ensure that all your security standards like GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA are being met.
Comprehensive customer messaging
Experience a comprehensive, multi-channel messaging platform that effortlessly enables proactive, behavior-based messaging across email, SMS, in-app, and push. In contrast, Intercom’s platform, designed mainly for reactive messaging based on inbound chat requests, has limitations in proactive messaging capabilities, lacking advanced features like robust branching, testing, and optimization.
Your data, used your way
Leverage Customer.io’s powerful segmentation engine, enabling the use of unlimited customer attributes for sending personalized messages to your audiences. Harness the potential of external application data through webhook-triggered campaigns when needed. Intercom has limited segmentation capabilities, particularly in real-time customer behavior. Intercom’s constraints include the inability to sync ad audiences and a limitation of 250 custom attributes per workspace, restricting your ability to build segments for powering effective campaigns.
Robust reporting and analytics
Run customized reports directly in Customer.io or export your data, allowing you to easily understand the effects of your messaging on your audience and provide opportunities to optimize quickly. Intercom’s advanced reporting features are limited to higher plans, making them inaccessible to some customers.
