Intercom charges at most one Fin outcome per conversation. Support outcomes start at $0.99, while a sales Qualification outcome costs $9.99. A default escalation after a customer asks for a person is not billed, but a configured Procedure handoff can be.
The 10-agent figure is arithmetic on Intercom’s published $29 annual Essential seat price and excludes Fin outcomes, Copilot seats and usage-priced channels.

Intercom is the category’s reference product, rated 4.5/5 across 1,134 verified Capterra reviews. Where it beats Conecto today:
Cost is the dominant theme in Intercom’s own verified reviews — per-seat prices that climb as you hire, and AI fees that climb as it succeeds. A Conecto workspace is one flat price, seats included, with AI metered in plain USD against a budget you set.
Fin Voice is real and impressive — and custom-priced behind a sales conversation. Conecto’s voice agent ships with the AI agent, answers from the same knowledge base, and draws from the same USD credits as text replies.
Intercom’s reviewers call it powerful but heavy for small teams. Conecto starts free, goes live in minutes, and its paid plans price the whole workspace — the fit Intercom offered a decade ago, with today’s AI.
