Calculator FAQ
How do I calculate my Intercom cost?
Multiply seats by the seat price ($29-$132/seat/month depending on plan and billing), then add Fin AI: conversations handled by Fin x resolution rate % x $0.99. Example: 10 seats on Advanced annual = $850. 2,000 conversations at 50% = 1,000 resolutions x $0.99 = $990. Total: $1,840/month.
What is a typical Fin AI resolution rate?
Intercom's Fin Guarantee promises a minimum 50% resolution rate. Well-configured setups achieve 60-70%. Complex B2B products or highly technical queries may see 30-40%. Resolution rate depends heavily on your knowledge base quality and Fin configuration.
Does annual billing affect Fin AI costs?
No. Fin AI resolution fees remain $0.99 per resolution regardless of billing period. Annual billing only reduces seat costs (by 26% on Essential, 14% on Advanced, 5% on Expert).
What is the crossover where Zendesk becomes cheaper?
For a 10-agent team: Zendesk AI Copilot costs $500/month flat. Intercom reaches $500 in Fin AI fees at 505 resolutions. The crossover scales linearly - for 20 agents, it is 1,010 resolutions/month.
Are Lite seat costs included in the calculator?
No. The calculator covers full seats and Fin AI. Lite seats (view-only collaborators) are not included. Essential plan charges for all Lite seats. Advanced includes 20 free, Expert includes 50. Costs above the free allocation vary and are not publicly listed.
