Intercom sells three seat plans: Essential at $29, Advanced at $85 and Expert at $132 per full seat per month on annual billing, or $39, $99 and $139 billed monthly, although Intercom's pricing FAQ names only Essential and Advanced as available monthly. Some visitors to the pricing page are shown Essential at $19 as part of a live price test. On top of seats: Fin at $0.99 per outcome, Copilot at $29 per agent annually or $35 monthly, the Pro add-on at $99 a month for up to 1,000 analyzed conversations, and Proactive Support Plus at $99 a month including 500 messages. Phone, SMS, WhatsApp and bulk email are billed by usage. Startups can apply for 93% off the first year.

What you are billed for

Intercom bills two units. The first is the full seat, required for anyone who replies to customers; the minimum is one. Lite seats are free for internal collaborators who cannot message customers or use Copilot: Advanced includes 20 and Expert 50, and Essential has none. The second unit is the Fin outcome, charged at $0.99 and at most once per conversation. An outcome is a resolution (the customer confirms the answer helped, or does not ask for more help after Fin's last reply), a Procedure handoff (Fin completes a Procedure you configured that ends by passing the customer to a person or a workflow), or a disqualification of a sales lead. Escalations triggered by Fin's default behavior or your workspace rules, and customers who ask for a human, are not charged. Source

AI and paid add-ons

Intercom sells two AI products. Copilot, the assistant for agents, is free for 10 conversations per agent a month; unlimited use costs $29 per agent annually or $35 monthly, and can be assigned to individual agents rather than the whole team. Fin, the customer-facing AI agent, costs $0.99 per outcome on every plan with no included allowance, and you can set usage alerts and a hard monthly limit. In March 2026 Intercom changed Fin's billing metric from resolutions to outcomes, which made configured handoffs to people billable at the same price. Fin can also be bought on its own to run on Zendesk, Salesforce, HubSpot or Freshworks, sold through sales with a minimum of 50 outcomes a month.
