About Crisp
Crisp is the long-running French indie shop building a serious Intercom alternative — multi-channel inbox (chat, email, social, Slack), shared notes, basic chatbot, knowledge base, all bundled into pricing that starts at $25/mo per workspace (not per seat). The product hasn't tried to win on AI features as fast as Intercom and Front; the bet is that 80% of teams want a solid, fair-priced helpdesk and don't need the per-resolution AI bill. For most SMBs running support themselves, this is the right pick in 2026.
✓Best for
- Bootstrapped SaaS and SMBs that need a real shared inbox under $100/mo total
- Teams that want chat + email + social channels in one tool
- Anyone who values flat pricing over best-in-class AI features
−Probably skip if
- Teams expecting Intercom-tier marketing-automation features
- Volume support orgs where per-seat pricing would still be cheaper than per-workspace
