How you're billed

Per seat, plus per outcome for Fin

Every human on the platform needs a seat, and seats are priced per month on your plan tier. Advanced and Expert include some free Lite seats for people who only need limited access.

Fin, Intercom's AI agent, is billed per outcome at $0.99. An outcome is counted when the customer confirms the issue is resolved, doesn't ask for more help, or Fin completes a procedure, and it is charged at most once per conversation. Intercom previously called this a resolution; the price is the same.

The result is a bill that moves in two directions: up with headcount, and up with AI volume. The more Fin does, the more it costs, which is fair, but hard to forecast.

A note on the company: in 2026 Intercom began operating under the name Fin, and Salesforce completed its acquisition of the business on September 10, 2026. Pricing below is what Intercom's site shows today; expect it to change as the integration progresses.

AI costs

What Intercom's AI (Fin) costs

When people search "Intercom bot pricing" or "Intercom Fin pricing", this is the answer. The bot is Fin, and it is metered.

Fin AI agent: $0.99 per outcome

Same price on every plan. Fin used standalone with another help desk has a minimum of 50 outcomes a month. Fin Voice is $1.99 per voice outcome through sales.

Copilot: $29 per agent / month

Agent-assist for your human team. $29 on annual billing, $35 monthly. Every agent gets 10 free Copilot conversations a month.

Pro add-on: from $99 / month

Conversation analytics and Operator, billed on analyzed conversations and credits above the included amount.

Worked examples

What Intercom costs a real team

Annual billing, list prices from intercom.com. Outcome counts are assumptions for illustration; your Fin volume is what drives the difference.

3-agent team

Essential plan, Fin handling 400 outcomes a month.

3 × Essential seats at $29$87

Bund AI Starter$49 / month

10-agent team

Advanced plan, Fin handling 2,000 outcomes a month.

10 × Advanced seats at $85$850
2,000 Fin outcomes at $0.99$1,980

Intercom total$2,830 to $3,120 / mo
Bund AI Growth$99 / month

10 team seats and 5,000 AI replies a month at one flat price. Busier months need a plan change, not a surprise invoice.

Watch for

Hidden costs

Product tours are a paid add-on

Product Tours are only available through Proactive Support Plus at $99 a month, which includes 500 messages sent; each message after that is billed, from $0.07 down in tiers. Product tours can't be bought on their own.

Fin volume

Every outcome is $0.99. A good month for automation is also a bigger bill, and it is on top of seats.

Channels billed by usage

SMS, outbound WhatsApp, bulk email and phone are metered. For example, US SMS starts at $0.06 per segment and outbound WhatsApp at $0.10 per message.

Monthly billing premium

Essential is $39 per seat billed monthly versus $29 annually. Expert is $139 versus $132.

Early Stage discount steps down

The startup program is 93% off in year one, 50% in year two and 25% in year three, then full price. Switching plans can forfeit the later discounts.

Free plan

Is Intercom free?

No. Intercom has no free plan. You get a 14-day free trial with no credit card, including Fin and add-ons. Early-stage startups can apply for a steep first-year discount.

  • 14-day free trial, no card required
  • Early Stage program: under $10M raised and 15 or fewer employees, 93% off year one
  • Cheapest paid option: Essential at $29 per seat / month (annual), plus Fin usage
