Intercom is (1) user profiles and event tracking like a MixPanel Lite, (2) live chat, (3) in-app and e-mail drip and segmented messaging, (4) customer feedback/polling, and (5) support/help desk.
Zendesk is a support/help desk product that recently acquired a chat company.
They're not alternatives unless you're only shopping for a help desk solution. Intercom does more, and the additional services they provide are easily tied to customer acquisition and engagement, which makes them valuable and easy to justify spending on.
