Shows how much more likely Intercom Widget customers are to use each tool compared to the general population. For example, 287x means customers are 287 times more likely to use that tool.
I noticed that companies using Intercom Widget are clearly product-led SaaS businesses focused on customer self-service and efficient scaling. The extremely high correlation with Intercom Help Center and Intercom Expert tells me these companies are building comprehensive support ecosystems where customers can find answers without human intervention. They're investing in their product experience as a primary growth driver.
The pairing of Segment with Intercom is particularly revealing. These companies are serious about understanding user behavior across their entire customer journey. They're collecting data from multiple touchpoints and feeding it into Intercom to trigger contextual, personalized messages. The presence of Stripe makes perfect sense alongside this setup because they're running subscription businesses that need to communicate based on payment events, trial expirations, and upgrade opportunities. Meanwhile, Atlassian StatusPage suggests they're mature enough to know that proactive communication about service issues protects their reputation and reduces support volume.
My analysis shows these are product-led growth companies, likely in the growth or scale-up stage. They've moved past founder-led sales and are automating customer communication at every stage. The LinkedIn Ads presence indicates they're still investing in top-of-funnel awareness, but the heavy emphasis on self-service tools shows they want customers to experience value quickly without sales friction. They're building systems that let the product sell itself while support scales efficiently.

I noticed that Intercom Widget's typical customers are companies building digital products or services that require direct customer interaction. They're often SaaS platforms, fintech solutions, AI-powered tools, or specialized marketplaces. Many are creating software that automates complex workflows, whether that's Middleware's cloud observability platform, Rollee's income data API, or Clarify's autonomous CRM. Others sell physical products with strong digital touchpoints, like Almond Cow's plant-based milk maker or Hegen's breastfeeding products.
These companies skew heavily toward growth stage. My analysis shows a concentration of Seed and Series A funded startups, typically with 11-50 employees, though there's meaningful representation across the spectrum. I see very early pre-seed companies with 2-10 employees alongside more established players like Instawork with 2,000+ employees or RetailNext with 300+ staff. The funding ranges from sub-million dollar rounds to Series B companies with $25M+. This suggests Intercom appeals both to startups establishing their first customer communication systems and growing companies scaling their support operations.
