Gosquared versus Intercom

Started in 2006, the British GoSquared defines itself as a provider of growth software for subscription businesses. Their services consist of customer engagement, live chat, and web analytics.

GoSquared live chat has integrations with platforms like WordPress, Zapier, and Zendesk. It offers the possibility to import customer data from a.o. Intercom and Salesforce. The number of available features for live chat is relatively limited.

Intercom has some of the world’s largest tech companies among its clients. As an industry-leading provider of live chat and in-app messaging, they have an impressive amount of features and an unrivaled level of customizability.

Intercom’s conversational support funnel is set up to efficiently filter support requests. Support tickets trickle through from proactive support to self-serve support via their knowledge base, to actual human support. Inbox automation can be set up to quickly prioritize tickets. Team efficiency and customer experience metrics are an integrated part of the platform.

Intercom leaves no matter to chance and knows that live chat needs to connect seamlessly with your existing software stack. For this purpose, an incredible number of integrations and apps in multiple categories can be found and installed through their app store.
