"We replaced three tools with Yaplet and our response time dropped from 4 hours to 2 minutes. The AI gets it right almost every single time."

Intercom alternative
Everything Intercom does, in one platform.
Intercom keeps growing the surface area and the invoice with it. Yaplet ships the same 16 tools, live chat, AI agent, voice, help center, tours, newsletter, for one flat plan. No per-seat math, no per-resolution Fin fees, no surprise add-on charges.
- Free forever plan, most Intercom users never need to upgrade
- Vex AI included, not a per-resolution add-on like Fin
- Voice AI, affiliates and shift management all built in (Intercom tours and surveys are paid add-ons); voice is pay-as-you-go per minute
- EU-hosted, GDPR by default. Your data stays in the EU.

One product, not five
What Intercom sells separately, we ship together
Intercom started as a chat widget and bolted on Fin, Outbound, Help Center, Surveys, Product Tours, Series, Phone and Workflows over the years. Each one is a separate line on the invoice. Yaplet was built as a single product from day one, same login, same data, one platform.
- Vex AI reads your help center and writes replies in your tone, with simple pay-as-you-go pricing, no per-seat fee, and a better rate on paid plans
- Voice AI picks up the phone in 17 languages, built in and billed pay-as-you-go per minute. Intercom's Fin Voice is a limited-access, usage-priced add-on on top of per-seat and per-outcome fees.
- Product Tours and Surveys are paid add-ons at Intercom. Yaplet bundles tours plus forms, newsletter, public roadmap, affiliates and shift management.
Pricing that doesn't ambush you
No per-seat trap, no separate AI add-on
Intercom's pricing is famously hard to predict. Per-seat tiers, per-resolution AI fees, per-contact volume gates, paid add-on modules, finance teams hate it. Yaplet has one flat per-organisation plan that scales with usage, not with how many people open the inbox.
- Free forever covers most small teams, not a 14-day trial that ends with a sales call
- Vex AI is pay-as-you-go with no per-seat fee and a better rate on paid plans, not metered per resolution like Fin
- EU-hosted, GDPR by default. Your data stays in the EU, no upgrade required.

It is a full alternative. Yaplet covers live chat, AI agent (Vex), unified inbox across email/WhatsApp/Instagram/Messenger/Telegram, help center, newsletter, marketing automation, tours, surveys, bug reporting, public roadmap, voice AI, affiliates and shift management. That is the same surface area as Intercom plus Fin plus Outbound plus Series plus Surveys plus Product Tours plus Phone, inside one flat plan instead of several priced modules.
Yes. You can export articles from Intercom and import them into Yaplet's knowledge base. Vex AI starts using them immediately to answer customer questions, in your tone, in 100+ languages.
We can advise on exporting your Intercom conversation history. For most teams, running both in parallel for two weeks is enough. Yaplet handles new conversations while Intercom finishes the ones already in flight.
Both are RAG-based AI agents that learn from your help center. The difference is the pricing model: Fin bills per resolution on top of your per-seat fees, so the more it works, the more it costs. Vex is included on every Yaplet plan with pay-as-you-go pricing and no per-seat fee, and paid plans get a better rate, so your credits go further as your team grows.
The inbox concepts (conversations, tickets, assignments, snippets, tags) map one-to-one. Most teams are productive on day one. The biggest difference is positive, with fewer paywalls and no per-seat worry about who gets access.
Intercom has a bigger ecosystem of integrations and a longer track record with enterprise procurement teams. If you need a 100+ seat enterprise deal with named-account support and a specific compliance framework Intercom already has, they may still be the right fit. For most smaller teams, one bundled plan is the better fit.
