The Intercom alternative for teams that hate seat math.
Intercom is a great product with enterprise pricing: $29 per seat, then $0.99 every time its AI resolves a conversation. AnsaChat charges one flat price per website, with the AI and your whole team included.

What AnsaChat does differently
Flat price, no seat math
One price per website. Add your whole team, your weekend helper, your cofounder. The bill doesn't move.
AI answers included
Ansa answers first, trained only on your website, files, and Q&As. Included answers on every plan, and extra packs cost about €0.04 per answer, not $0.99.
Set up in an afternoon
One snippet before </body>, teach it your business, go live. No onboarding calls, no sales process, no annual contract.
When Intercom is the better choice
- You run a large support org that needs advanced workflows, SLAs, and deep reporting across many channels.
- You want phone, SMS, WhatsApp, and email campaigns unified in one enterprise suite and the budget is not the constraint.
- Your company already lives in Intercom's ecosystem and migration cost outweighs the savings.
Questions, answered
How hard is switching from Intercom?
The widget installs with one snippet, and the AI trains on your existing help center and website by crawling them. Most teams are live the same afternoon.
Does AnsaChat match Intercom feature for feature?
No, and it does not try to. You get live chat, an AI agent trained on your own content, a team inbox with assignment, notes and canned responses, 30+ languages, analytics, and an API. You do not get enterprise workflow builders, phone support, or marketing campaign tools.
Where is the catch in the pricing?
AI answers are metered: 20 per month on Starter, 50 on Pro, and packs from €10 per 250 if you need more. Human chat is unlimited and free on every plan. When AI answers run out, the AI steps aside and your team chats on, nothing breaks.
Where does my data live?
In the EU (Frankfurt). AnsaChat is a Dutch company and GDPR tooling is built in: visitor export and deletion, workspace export, and account deletion are all self-serve.
