Does SimpleSupport have product tours, surveys, in-app campaigns?

No. Those belong to marketing automation products and Intercom is excellent at them. SimpleSupport is a pure helpdesk. If campaigns are core to your workflow, stay on Intercom; if you just want tickets to stop falling through the cracks, switch.

How does SimpleSupport's AI compare to Fin by Intercom?

Two practical differences: pricing (SimpleSupport includes AI vs $0.99 per resolution on top) and grounding (a knowledge doc you write rather than URL crawls). On Pro you approve every reply; on Business it sends automatically.

Can I import my Intercom conversations?

Not via UI today. We can run a one-off import from a CSV export — contact us.

What if I outgrow SimpleSupport?

If you need 50 agents, multi-brand, complex SLAs and deep CRM integration, Intercom or Zendesk will fit better. Most micro-SaaS never reach that. SimpleSupport is built for 1–10 person teams that want speed and predictability.

Why teams move from Intercom to SimpleSupport

Your bill stops being a roulette

Intercom's seat-plus-resolution model means a viral week doubles your invoice. SimpleSupport is flat: €15/mo on Pro, €69/mo on Business (€39/mo for early customers, locked for life). Volume goes up, your bill doesn't.

AI included, not metered

Fin charges $0.99 per AI resolution on top of seat fees. SimpleSupport's AI is included in Pro (drafts) and Business (auto-send), grounded on a knowledge doc you write — and you don't pay extra per conversation.

A widget, not a marketing platform

Intercom is half helpdesk, half marketing automation. If you want bots, tours, surveys, segmented in-app messages, that's their world. If you just want a clean ticket flow, SimpleSupport ships only that — and the widget is 50× lighter.
