What our research says

Fin

Fin is the most mature of the per-resolution support agents, with three years of production use and the tooling, simulations, regression tests, QA, that teams need before letting an agent touch refunds. The $0.99-per-outcome model is attractive when deflection is high and unattractive when the agent resolves little, and the definition of an outcome is what you negotiate over. Running it on Zendesk or Salesforce avoids Intercom's seat fees but imposes a 50-outcome monthly floor; small support teams with a few hundred tickets a month should model both before signing.

Pros

  • Pays per resolved outcome rather than per seat, with a published $0.99 rate (15 October 2026)
  • Works on Intercom and on Salesforce, Zendesk, HubSpot and Freshdesk
  • Can act through Procedures, APIs, data connectors and MCP, not only answer
  • Simulation, regression testing, QA and observability tools before and after changes go live
  • 14-day trial with unlimited outcomes and no card

Cons

  • Outcome definitions and the $9.99 qualification charge make the effective price harder to model than a seat fee
  • 50-outcome monthly minimum when used with a third-party helpdesk
  • Operator, Copilot and Voice are separate charges on top of the per-outcome rate
  • Company rebrand from Intercom to Fin in 2026 means documentation and contracts still carry both names

SiteSpeakAI

A practical way to put a trained agent on a site without engineering time, and the action features — booking, order lookup, human escalation — go beyond FAQ bots. Message credits are the real price lever, and busy sites climb the tiers quickly.

Pros

  • Trains on mixed sources including PDFs and video, not just crawled pages
  • Free tier plus 7-day trials make evaluation genuinely cheap
  • Human escalation, meeting booking and order lookup are built in
  • API and MCP server allow custom actions and integrations

Cons

  • Credit metering ties cost directly to chat volume, with overflow at $25 per 1,000
  • Upper tiers get expensive next to assembling the same stack from raw APIs

Which one fits

Choose Fin if you need

  • Support teams with a large, well-maintained help centre where deflection can reach the levels the per-outcome price assumes
  • Companies already on Intercom, or on Zendesk, Salesforce, HubSpot or Freshdesk that want an agent without switching helpdesk
  • Teams that need the agent to take actions, such as refunds or account changes, through APIs and MCP

Choose SiteSpeakAI if you need

  • Small and mid-size businesses automating first-line support from existing docs
  • Agencies running chatbots for multiple client sites under one account
  • E-commerce stores that want order lookup and lead capture in the same widget
