Predictable $29–$99/mo instead of per-resolution metering — and action-taking, not just deflection.
Fin (formerly Intercom) charges $0.99 per resolved conversation and is the market leader, now owned by Salesforce. Command+K is a self-serve alternative from $29/mo with prepaid credits, single-digit cents for a typical exchange, and an assistant that acts inside your product as the signed-in user rather than answering from a support inbox.

Fin (by Intercom) and Command+K solve adjacent problems. Fin is the strongest AI support agent on the market: it resolves inbound tickets across channels and charges $0.99 per successful resolution on top of Intercom's platform — costs scale directly with your support volume, and Salesforce's pending acquisition adds long-term platform uncertainty. Command+K works one step earlier: an assistant embedded in your product that answers from docs and performs account actions via your API, so many tickets never get filed — at a flat $29–$99/mo. High-volume support teams living in Intercom pick Fin; product teams that want to prevent tickets with an assistant that acts pick Command+K. Some teams run both.
Status note: Intercom renamed its corporate entity to Fin in May 2026, and Salesforce agreed to acquire the company in June 2026 (pending). Pricing is unchanged so far, but the acquisition is worth weighing in a long-term platform decision.
Fin is Intercom's AI support agent — the market leader in AI-powered ticket resolution, priced per successful outcome on top of Intercom's seat plans.
Pricing: $0.99 per resolved outcome (qualifications $9.99), on top of Intercom seat plans. Published case studies show 42–50% real-world resolution rates.
Recurring themes from published reviews on G2, Capterra, Trustpilot and TrustRadius — with the source for each, and what we do differently.
The most consistent complaint across G2, Capterra and TrustRadius is not answer quality — it is billing that cannot be forecast, and slow support when you ask about it.
Documented cases include a bill moving from roughly $119 to $854 a month, and a widely shared account of a bill going from $4,000 to $9,000 a month. Because you pay per resolution, success with the product directly increases the invoice.
You buy credits in advance and set a hard cost cap. The maximum you can be charged in a month is a number you chose, printed on your billing page before anything runs.
Fin infers that a conversation was resolved when the customer goes quiet. Paying customers have publicly disputed how often that inference is wrong — and every wrong inference is a billable event.
There is no resolution inference, because there is no per-resolution charge. Credits are consumed by work actually performed, and every conversation's cost is visible in your usage log.
Reviewers describe the layered seat-plus-resolution-plus-add-on structure as the core problem, with outbound messages, WhatsApp and SMS billed separately and annual price rises on top.
One subscription and one credit balance. No per-seat charge, no channel surcharges, and the price you see on the pricing page is the price you pay.
These are recurring themes in publicly published reviews and comparisons of Fin (Intercom), not our own testing. Every claim links to where we read it. If something here is out of date, tell us and we will correct it.
Unpredictable bills are the single most common complaint across this whole category, not just Fin (Intercom). Here is why AI support bills multiply — and how prepaid credits with a hard cap remove the problem.
| Capability | Fin (Intercom) | Command+K |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | $0.99/resolution + Intercom seats | Flat $29–$99/mo |
| Ticket resolution across channels | best in class | in-product focus |
| In-product actions as the signed-in user | Limited | core product |
| Prevents tickets (answers before filing) | Partially | embedded in the product |
| Requires a helpdesk platform | Intercom | standalone widget |
| Host your API as an MCP server | No | Yes |
| Cost at 1,000 resolutions/mo | ~$990 + seats | $29–$99 flat |
| Ownership stability | Salesforce acquisition pending | Independent |

For in-product assistance, yes; for omnichannel ticket resolution, they're complementary. Command+K embeds an assistant in your product that answers from docs and takes account actions, preventing tickets at a flat $29–$99/mo. Fin resolves filed tickets across channels at $0.99 per resolution on Intercom.
Fin costs scale linearly: 1,000 resolutions is ~$990/mo before Intercom seats. Command+K is flat: $29/mo (AI Adopter) or $99/mo (AI Pilot) regardless of conversation volume, with usage-based credits only for AI compute beyond plan allowances.
Yes — a common pattern is Command+K inside the product (answer + act, deflect before a ticket exists) with a support agent like Fin handling whatever still reaches the inbox.
