Intercom Pricing (as of July 2026)
Intercom rebranded to "Fin" in May 2026, and Salesforce has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the company. Pricing is seats plus usage-based AI.
Seat-based plans
| Plan | Monthly | Annual (per seat) | Key Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | $39/seat | $29/seat | Shared inbox, Messenger, help center, basic Workflows |
| Advanced | $99/seat | $85/seat | Advanced automations, multiple inboxes, SLA, Salesforce integration |
| Expert | $139/seat | $132/seat | Advanced Workflows, custom roles, SSO/SAML, HIPAA eligible |
Fin AI and add-ons
| Component | Cost |
|---|---|
| Fin AI Agent | $0.99 per resolution (charged once per conversation on confirmed resolution) |
| Copilot (agent assist) | $35/agent/mo ($29 annual) |
| Proactive Support Plus | $99/month (500 outbound messages) |
Fin is outcome-priced: a resolution is counted when the customer confirms Fin answered without escalation. Conversations Fin starts but escalates to a human are not charged.
Cost example (10 Advanced seats + Fin)
| Component | Monthly |
|---|---|
| 10 Advanced seats (annual rate) | $850 |
| Fin AI (5,000 conversations, ~40% resolution) | ~$1,980 |
| Total | ~$2,830/month |
Fin's per-resolution cost displaces the agent seats it replaces — the economics turn on your agent cost and Fin's resolution rate.
How it compares
| Platform | 5-agent (annual) | AI |
|---|---|---|
| Intercom Essential | ~$145/mo | Fin $0.99/resolution |
| Zendesk Suite Team | $275/mo | Copilot $50/agent add-on |
| Freshdesk Pro | $275/mo | Freddy AI add-on |
Editor's Note: We deployed Intercom Advanced for a 150-person SaaS company (12 agents); Fin resolved about 38% of conversations, displacing roughly 4.5 agents' worth of volume and producing positive ROI within the first month at their loaded agent cost. Re-checked July 2026: the company has rebranded from Intercom to Fin and Salesforce has agreed to acquire it, so expect roadmap changes — but the pricing shape holds (Essential/Advanced/Expert seats, annual $29/$85/$132, plus Fin at $0.99/resolution and a $29-$35 Copilot add-on). Budget the Fin resolution volume separately from seats, because that usage line, not the seat count, drives the AI bill. — Rafal Fila, ShadowGen

Best Human-in-the-Loop Automation Platforms 2026
Eight platforms are ranked here on a single mechanism: how a person enters an automated path, and what the system can prove afterward about the decision they made. Moxo scores 7.7 and ranks first; Camunda 8 scores 7.2, Microsoft Power Automate 7.1, Pega 6.9, n8n 6.7, Zapier 5.9, Kissflow 5.8 and ServiceNow 4.8, scored 22 September 2026 on the five weighted criteria. Those criteria cover the step type, the approver's account or licence, the routes available on a rejection, the audit record, and the meter that charges for the decision, and none of them can tell a review from a rubber stamp, so the methodology adds a check readers can run on any product in a few minutes: whether the decision record tells a considered approval from an instant one. Every figure was read from a vendor-owned surface and carries its own date.
Best Automation Platforms for AI Orchestration 2026
This ranking answers one question: how many real business applications can an AI agent act on out of the box? It evaluates nine platforms as of August 2026 on the reach they give an agent, not on the workflow logic they can express. That boundary is deliberate, because two neighbouring pages on this site answer different questions. Best Process Orchestration Platforms 2026 scores multi-step process control, error handling and state management. Best AI Agent Platforms 2026 scores building and hosting the agent itself. This page scores the layer between them: the connective tissue that lets an agent already built elsewhere reach the applications a business actually runs on. A platform that leads one of those pages can place low here, and two of them do. Scores derive from application and action catalogue counts, the exposure model each platform uses to publish those catalogues to an agent, setup effort, failure handling and cost per agent action. Every figure was retrieved from a vendor-owned surface on 11 August 2026 unless an earlier date is stated against it.

Moxo vs Lindy in 2026: Who Presses Approve When the Agent Asks
Lindy, founded in 2023, sells an AI teammate that lives in Slack and in each person's inbox; Moxo, whose predecessor Moxtra was co-founded in 2012, runs multi-party processes where approvals are steps only a person can close. Moxo wins three rounds to two: who closes the step, work across companies and the record. Lindy wins reach and testing. Vendor pages and docs read 28 September 2026.
Moxo vs Kissflow in 2026: What an Outside Approver Costs, and What the Record Proves
Moxo and Kissflow both sell approvals to people who do not write code, and each wins one round outright: Moxo's Web and Headless SDKs run the approval inside the buyer's own product, under the buyer's own sign-in. Kissflow's portal audit log stamps every event with an actor, a device and an IP, where Moxo publishes no field list. Both answers are quoted, not priced, and both meters punish a one-step request sent to hundreds of clients. Cost, the decision record, rejection routes, AI metering and governance, verified 14 to 23 September 2026.
Moxo vs Camunda 8 in 2026: BPMN User Tasks for Staff, Step Types for Outsiders
Camunda 8 can fix a process under cases already running, since active instances migrate onto a corrected definition and, for Camunda user tasks, "a migrated active user task remains assigned to the same user". Moxo keeps the shared queue that Camunda's Tasklist V2 stops evaluating, with desks that are "a shared inbox that multiple users can pick work from". Those are the two knockouts in a fight Moxo takes three rounds to two, with one section left unscored. Portability, AI review gates and a published price decide the rest, verified 14 to 23 September 2026.
