No free plan. The cheapest way in is Essential at $39/month. Consider free alternatives in the customer support agents category if budget is tight.
For a 3-person support team on the Essential plan, base cost is $117/month (3 × $39). Adding Fin AI Agent at $0.99/resolution with 500 monthly resolutions adds $495, bringing the total to roughly $612/month. The Advanced plan with Fin would be about $792/month. Costs scale significantly with team size and AI resolution volume.
Intercom reports an average resolution rate of around 60%, with over 40 million conversations resolved. Your actual rate depends heavily on knowledge base quality, the complexity of your product, and how well you configure Fin's Procedures for multi-step queries. Simple FAQ-style questions resolve at higher rates than complex account-specific issues.
Yes, Intercom offers Fin AI Agent as a standalone add-on for Zendesk and Salesforce at the same $0.99/resolution pricing with no additional platform fees, setup charges, or integration costs. This lets you add AI resolution to your existing help desk without migrating.
Essential ($39/seat) covers basic inbox, ticketing, and help center. Advanced ($99/seat) adds workflows automation, multiple team inboxes, 20 lite seats, and multilingual help center — this is where most growing teams land. Expert ($139/seat) adds multibrand support, real-time reporting, custom roles, and HIPAA compliance for enterprise needs.
