The catch with Intercom's AI
Intercom's AI bills per answer — on top of per-seat fees.
Intercom is a powerful support suite built for bigger teams. But its AI, Fin, is billed per resolution and its seats are billed per person — so the more your chat works, the more you pay, and the total is hard to predict.
~$29 / seat
Per-seat pricing
Intercom seats start around $29 each, so adding teammates raises your monthly base before any AI usage.

Hard to predict
Usage-based totals
Because Fin is per-resolution and seats are per-person, your monthly total moves with volume — tough to budget for a small business.
