Intercom is a customer messaging platform that combines live chat, AI chatbot (Fin), help centre, email marketing and customer support ticketing in one platform. Fin, Intercom's AI agent, resolves up to 50% of customer support queries automatically — pulling answers from your knowledge base, help articles and past conversations. Unlike traditional chatbots that follow rigid decision trees, Fin uses large language models to understand questions and generate accurate, conversational answers. Used by over 25,000 companies including major SaaS brands.
Who is it for?
SaaS companies, e-commerce businesses and any company that handles high volumes of customer support queries and wants to automate resolution without sacrificing quality. Intercom is more expensive than simpler live chat tools but the AI resolution rate often justifies the cost.

Fin resolves on average 50%+ of incoming support queries without human involvement, handling common questions about pricing, features, account issues and how-to questions.
Intercom's base plan starts at $39/month. The Fin AI agent is charged separately at $0.99 per resolution — you only pay when Fin successfully resolves a query without human handoff. This usage-based model means costs scale with your support volume.
