Pricing
FreemiumIntercom's core plan combining the helpdesk with Fin AI Agent starts at $29 per seat per month, plus $0.99 per resolution for each conversation Fin successfully resolves, following a pay-per-outcome model where teams are generally not charged when Fin cannot resolve a query and hands off to a human. Pricing scales with the number of agent seats and AI resolution volume, and custom Enterprise pricing is available for larger organizations with advanced security, compliance, or volume needs. Voice and additional advanced features may carry separate costs; prospective customers should confirm current tiered pricing directly on Intercom's pricing page, as the company updates pricing periodically.
FreemiumAI Meeting Assistant starts at $19/user/month (annual billing). Conversation Intelligence and Revenue Intelligence add-ons are $29/user/month (annual billing). Free view-only seats available. 14-day free trial with all features.
