Where each one fits
Intercom is a full helpdesk. Its pricing page lists a shared inbox and ticketing, a workflows automation builder, SSO and HIPAA support on Expert, and Fin can also run on another helpdesk with no seats required. If you already run a large support team in Intercom and want AI billed per resolved conversation, Fin is built for that.
If you want to test an AI agent before you pay anything, and without handing over a card, Dante's free plan is built for that. If you prefer a flat monthly price to paying per seat and per outcome, Dante's plans work that way. And if voice matters to you, it is included on every Dante plan rather than billed as you go.
