Fin is the AI agent from the company formerly called Intercom, which renamed itself Fin in May 2026. It runs inside the Intercom helpdesk or on top of another one, charges US$0.99 per outcome, and documents more about its pricing, languages and certifications than any other product we reviewed.
Bottom line
- Best for: Teams that want a price they can calculate today
- Not for: Buyers who need a vendor-neutral agent for the long term
- Price from: US$0.99 per resolution
- The catch: Customer silence for 24 hours is billed as a resolution, and so is a handoff to a human that you configured. Salesforce has agreed to buy the company.

- Zendesk is missing from the helpdesk list on Fin's pricing page, although older help articles still cover it. Ask before you assume.
Pricing
Fin costs US$0.99 per outcome, with at most one charge per conversation, and US$9.99 when it qualifies a sales lead. On another vendor's helpdesk there is a minimum of 50 outcomes a month, about US$49.50. Inside Intercom you also pay for seats, from US$29 to US$132 per seat per month on annual billing. Fin Voice is quote-only and limited to selected customers.

Claimed vs reported performance
| Reported figure | Source | Who says so |
|---|---|---|
| 76% | Fin (formerly Intercom) | Vendor claim |
| 50.8% | Anthropic | Named customer |
| 45–65% | Lightspeed Commerce | Named customer |
Fin advertises an average resolution rate of 76% across 12,000 customers. The named customers on its own site report less: Anthropic 50.8%, and Lightspeed 45–65% after starting at 35–40%. An average across thousands of accounts hides a wide spread, so plan on the lower figures until you have measured your own.
Verdict
Fin is the easiest serious agent to price and to evaluate, and that is worth a lot in a category where most vendors publish nothing. Go in knowing that silence and configured handoffs are billable, that real-world rates run below the headline, and that the company is due to become part of Salesforce.

Frequently asked questions
Is Fin still an independent company?
For now. Intercom renamed itself Fin in May 2026, and in June 2026 Salesforce signed an agreement to acquire it for about US$3,600,000,000. The deal had not closed when we checked, and Salesforce has not explained how Fin will sit alongside its own Agentforce products.
Do I need the Intercom helpdesk to use Fin?
No. Fin can run on top of other helpdesks, with a minimum of 50 outcomes a month. Fin's pricing page lists Salesforce, HubSpot, Freshworks, Gorgias and Front among others.
What does Fin count as a resolution?
Either the customer confirms the answer helped, or the customer stops replying for 24 hours. The second kind is an assumption, so track satisfaction and repeat contacts next to the rate.
