Quick answer
Intercom Fin charges $0.99 per resolution on top of an Intercom base plan starting around $29/seat/month - typically $495+/month for a small support team, scaling to $11,880+ over two years.

What makes DeskClone different
Built to deploy a real support agent, not a smarter chatbot.
Acts, doesn't just answer
Issues refunds, updates account settings, checks order status, triggers workflows, processes service requests. Not just surfacing articles.
Clones your team's expertise
Trained on your docs, tickets, workflows, and history. Learns how your team handles things, then replicates that.
Self-improving
Every conversation makes it better. No retraining, no manual knowledge base tuning, no weekly upkeep.
Same price, more value over time
The richer your knowledge base, the better DeskClone performs. Same flat fee whether it handles 50 or 500.
Set it up once. Don't keep tuning it.
Fin's quality is tied to your help center being perfect. DeskClone learns from every conversation, on its own.
With Intercom Fin
Help-center-based AI requires ongoing manual tuning: reviewing failed resolutions, finding gaps in articles, and updating source docs. Quality is tied directly to that upkeep.
With DeskClone
DeskClone self-learns from every conversation - identifying gaps and improving on its own. Add more sources whenever you want. No weekly upkeep.

Start free →Switching is simpler than you think
No migration day. Run both side by side until you're sure.
01
Bring your support history
Hand Jarvis - DeskClone's built-in builder agent - your exported conversation history and help-center articles, or let it crawl your help center. It builds your support agent from the chats your team already handled - no rewriting your help center, no rebuilding knowledge from scratch.
02
Run DeskClone beside Fin in the same inbox
Keep Intercom as your inbox. DeskClone takes incoming conversations on the free plan (10/mo, no card) while Fin keeps running, so you can compare resolution quality on identical live tickets.
03
Shift volume off per-resolution billing
Once DeskClone is resolving reliably, route more conversations to it and watch the per-resolution line on your Intercom bill stop climbing. Keep Fin for anything you still want it for.
Where we draw the line
DeskClone is built for one thing: AI that resolves support autonomously. We're not a full customer communication platform. If your top priority is bundled live chat, product tours, marketing automation, and a help center suite - that's Intercom's territory. If your top priority is an AI agent that actually does the support work, that's ours.
Questions teams ask before switching from Intercom Fin
How much does Intercom Fin cost compared to DeskClone?

Can I migrate from Intercom Fin to DeskClone without losing context?
Yes.

You can run DeskClone in parallel with Intercom during the cutover.
Does DeskClone integrate with the Intercom messenger widget?
DeskClone can sit alongside your existing Intercom inbox so tickets created in the Intercom messenger are resolved by DeskClone end-to-end. You keep the messenger surface your customers already know - the AI underneath changes.
What does DeskClone do that Intercom Fin does not?
Fin answers questions sourced from help center articles. DeskClone takes actions: looks up account state, processes refunds via integrations, updates customer records, triggers workflows, and closes tickets autonomously. Fin deflects to documentation; DeskClone resolves the underlying request.
