When MaestroQA is the better pick.
MaestroQA — now Rippit — is a mature, highly rated platform (one of the strongest review bases in the category) for teams running a structured QA program: manual and automated scorecards, calibration, coaching, and a growing conversation-analytics layer. If you want a dedicated QA function and are comfortable with a sales-led rollout, it is a strong pick. Supportman is for Intercom teams who want the core signals — ratings as they land and an AI score on every conversation — without the platform and the procurement.
