Intercom Fin is the benchmark AI support agent: resolution rates that lead the category, human-grade conversational quality, and per-resolution pricing, the AI-first challenger that forced the entire support industry onto the agentic curve.

Against $5–15 human-handled costs, strongly: until extreme volumes where negotiated rates or seat-model platforms may cross over. Model your mix; most mid-scale teams come out well ahead.
