Get Started Free

One bill. No overages.

Flat $109 per month covers unlimited messages and contacts. No per-message fee, no Segment invoice, no volume overages, and no surprises at month end.

Full CDP, no Segment needed

Intempt ships with a built-in CDP. Profiles unify automatically, identities resolve in real time, and audiences stay live. No Segment account needed.

Marketers ship flows without dev

Drag-and-drop journey builder, no developer required. Any marketer builds triggers, sets conditions, and launches multi-channel flows in an afternoon.

Why Teams Switch from Twilio Engage

Twilio Engage is built on Twilio Segment. You cannot use one without the other, which means two vendors, two invoices, and two support relationships to manage.

There is no visual journey builder marketers can operate alone. Every trigger, segment, and flow logic requires a developer to configure and maintain.

Usage-based billing creates unpredictable invoices. A campaign launch or a volume spike can push your monthly cost from $500 to $2,000 without warning.

There is no experimentation layer, no personalization engine, and no analytics beyond basic message delivery and open rate reporting.

The combined cost of Twilio Engage plus Segment for a mid-size team is $500 to $2,000 per month before factoring in engineering hours.

Marketing teams at growing SaaS and eCommerce companies end up dependent on engineering for tasks one marketer should handle in an afternoon.

What Makes Intempt Different

More than a replacement — a platform built differently from the ground up.

Experimentation without extra tools

Twilio Engage has no A/B testing layer. Intempt includes full site and message experimentation with CUPED variance reduction and automatic winner deployment.

Blu AI runs your growth workflows

Nine AI assistants handle prospecting, journeys, experiments, and personalization. Agents absorb the procedural overhead so your team focuses on strategy.

Revenue analytics built right in

Funnels, cohort retention, and revenue attribution are native. No separate analytics tool, no warehouse, no data engineering required to see the picture.

Real results, not just tech

We drive measurable outcomes in the first 90 days. Beyond the platform.

We were losing visitors before they signed up. Intempt's personalized experiences changed that - we started meeting people where they were instead of guessing. Once they're in, Intempt's automated email takes over and keeps the relationship moving. Acquisition and retention finally feel like one connected motion instead of two separate problems.

Case Study

StockInvest needed to turn anonymous traffic into registered users before any retention strategy could work. With Intempt's Experiences, they personalized the anonymous visitor flow, surfacing the right content and CTAs to boost signup conversion. Once users signed up, automated Journeys nurtured them through onboarding and deeper engagement, steadily increasing lifetime value.
