Reviewer Notes

Good REST API (Conversations, Contacts, Messages APIs). OAuth2 for third-party integrations. No free tier — starts at $74/month. Requires sales contact for larger plans. Test workspace available. Webhooks for conversation events. Agents can handle support tickets, search conversations, and send targeted messages. Better fit for enterprise integrations where Intercom is already deployed.
