Intercom Fin at $0.99 per resolution: $990/mo for 1000 tickets. Tidio at $29/mo Starter: unlimited tickets. For a small SaaS, Tidio is much cheaper. For a larger SaaS, Intercom Fin pays for itself by reducing human support costs.
For 50% of support tickets: yes. Password resets, billing questions, basic how-to. For 50%: no. Bug reports, complex integrations, angry customers, anything requiring empathy. I use Intercom Fin for tier 1 support and humans for tier 2/3. The AI is 24/7 and frees up humans for complex issues.
Intercom Fin is 70-80% accurate on standard questions (pricing, features, basic how-to). It is 40-50% accurate on complex questions (integrations, edge cases, bug reports). I review 100% of AI responses before sending. For high-stakes customer interactions, the AI drafts and a human approves.
A support agent costs $3,000-$5,000/mo (salary + benefits). Intercom Fin at $990/mo is 4-5x cheaper. For a small SaaS, the AI pays for itself if it handles 30%+ of tickets without human intervention. I have seen 60% ticket automation with Intercom Fin + good help docs.
I've been testing and reviewing AI tools for 2+ years. I run saas.pet as a side project while working as a software engineer. I buy every subscription I review. No vendor pitches, no free accounts. If a tool is in my rotation, I pay for it.
