Foxchat

Foxchat is positioning itself as the Intercom killer for startups and indie hackers who don't want to pay enterprise prices for features they'll never use. It's listed on Product Hunt with one job: make customer chat actually affordable again.

Intercom charges hundreds per month for basic live chat. Foxchat says skip that—we'll give you what you actually need. It's a bold pitch in a market Intercom basically invented, but there's clearly appetite for something simpler and cheaper.

That's the pitch. Who built it, how many users, whether it's actually working—no public data available yet. But someone somewhere is tired of paying $74/month per seat for live chat they barely use. Foxchat is making play for that crowd.

The question is whether they can actually deliver, or if they're just another "we're cheaper!" in a sea of Intercom alternatives. Watch this space.
