Looking for an Intercom alternative?
Multibase gives you everything Intercom offers for knowledge bases — plus multi-brand portals, white-label, and unlimited team members. From $49/month.
About Intercom
Intercom is a customer messaging platform with help center functionality. Their knowledge base is part of a larger suite that includes live chat, bots, and ticketing. For teams that only need a knowledge base, Intercom's pricing model — per-seat, with white-label gated behind Expert tier at $132/seat — makes it expensive and rigid.
Why teams leave Intercom
Per-seat pricing scales fast
At $132/seat on Expert tier, a 4-person team costs $528/month just for knowledge base with white-label. Add more editors and the bill grows linearly.
White-label requires Expert plan
Removing Intercom branding is only available on Expert ($132/seat) or higher. Most teams can't justify this cost for a help center.
No multi-brand support
Intercom gives you one help center per workspace. Multiple brands means multiple workspaces, multiple subscriptions, and duplicated content.
AI answers cost extra
Fin AI costs $0.99 per resolution on top of your subscription. Unpredictable costs that scale with your traffic.
Why teams choose Multibase instead
Save $1,380–4,560/year
Multibase Scale at $149/month gives you 10 portals, unlimited team members, and full white-label. That's less than one Intercom Expert seat.
Multi-brand from day one
One account, unlimited branded portals. Write content once, publish to every brand. No content duplication.
AI answers included
Up to 5,000 AI queries/month on Scale plan. No per-resolution fees. Predictable costs.
