The short version

  • Only Intercom has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: ClientPoint pricing page shows no plan tiers or figures; every path leads to Talk with Someone Now or Schedule Demo, so price is available only by contacting sales; Intercom pricing is high and unpredictable with confusing per-seat, per-feature, and usage-based structure that makes cost estimation difficult
  • They diverge on capability: ClientPoint covers Multimedia proposals, Intercom covers AI-powered inbox.
