Algomo, for machines

Looking for an Intercom Fin alternative?

Algomo is one AI agent on your website. It answers from your live pages, works those pages alongside the visitor, and books the ones worth a meeting. Fin is a support platform that answers on every channel and charges for each conversation it resolves.

How are you different from Intercom Fin?

Fin answers wherever your support arrives: email, phone, WhatsApp, your site. Algomo answers in one place, your website, and does more while it is there. It opens your pages beside the chat and its calls run inside the visitor's own session, so it sees their prices, their region, their login.

Four things Algomo does that Fin does not

Works the page

It opens the right page beside the chat and filters it with the visitor.

[Watch it happen](/demos/nike)

In their session

Its calls run as the visitor, so the agent sees their prices, their region, their login.

From your coding agent

Built and changed from Claude Code or Codex over MCP, with no dashboard to learn.

[How that works](/resources/mcp-customer-support)

One amount

You set the monthly ceiling. Nothing is charged above it, and unused credit rolls over.

Every Fin figure on this page was read from fin.ai and intercom.com on 31 August 2026. Every Algomo one links to the page on this site that sets it.

Why teams consider an Intercom Fin alternative

Fin is the best-run product in the category and this section is not about its quality. It is about the shape of the bill, which is where teams start looking, and it is the part with numbers you can check on Fin's own pages.

A meter with no ceiling

Fin charges 99 cents every time a conversation resolves. The better the product gets, the larger the invoice gets with it.

Qualification costs extra

A qualified conversation is $9.99 on top of the outcome charge. On Algomo it draws the same five credits as any other conversation.

Seats beside the usage

Seats run $29 to $132 a month next to the meter, so the bill has two engines rather than one.

A minimum before anything

On an external helpdesk Fin sets a 50-outcome monthly minimum: $49.50 before a single seat is counted.

Algomo vs Intercom Fin, side by side

Two products that overlap on your website and diverge everywhere else. Every row below is a yes or a no, and the ones that need a sentence carry it behind the question mark.

| | Algomo | Intercom Fin |

| --- | --- | --- |

| **Decision criteria** | | |

| A free plan with no time limit | Yes | No |

| Pricing published on the vendor's own site | Yes | Yes |

| Hands-on evaluation before any sales call | Yes | Yes |

| One monthly amount that caps every charge | Yes | No |

| Built and changed from your own coding agent | Yes | No |

| Sits on the helpdesk you already run | No | Yes |

| **Channels** | | |

| Website chat | Yes | Yes |

| Email | No | Yes |

| Voice | No | Yes |

| SMS and WhatsApp | No | Yes |

| Instagram and Messenger | No | Yes |

| **In the visitor's session** | | |

| Opens the right page beside the chat | Yes | No |

| Calls run as the visitor, in their session | Yes | No |

| Acts on your systems behind the conversation | Yes | Yes |

| Connectors discovered from your own site | Yes | No |

| Prebuilt connector library, wired per system | No | Yes |

| Live takeover by a human, transcript attached | Yes | Yes |

| **What lands on the invoice** | | |

| A charge for each resolved conversation | No | Yes |

What the rows mean:

- **Decision criteria**: How far each one lets you get before a sales conversation, and who operates it afterwards.

- **A free plan with no time limit**: Algomo's free plan has no card and no expiry. Fin offers a 14-day trial, and Intercom gives startups a free first year, which are both programmes with an end date.

- **Pricing published on the vendor's own site**: Both publish, which is rarer here than it should be. Fin: $0.99 an outcome, $9.99 a qualification, seats $29 to $132. Algomo: free, then $50 to $4,300 a month.

- **One monthly amount that caps every charge**: Algomo bills the amount you set and nothing above it. Fin's meter has no ceiling by design, because it charges for outcomes.

- **Sits on the helpdesk you already run**: Fin runs on Intercom's own inbox or the third-party helpdesks listed on the integrations page. Algomo does not sit on a helpdesk: your team takes over the conversation in place.

- **Channels**: Where each agent can answer. This is the section where Fin wins outright, and if most of your support arrives anywhere but your website, it is the section that should decide it.

- **In the visitor's session**: What each agent can do while the visitor is still on the page, as against what it does behind the conversation.

- **Calls run as the visitor, in their session**: An Algomo action runs inside the visitor's own session, so it sees what they see. Fin acts on your systems from the conversation instead.

- **Connectors discovered from your own site**: Algomo finds the endpoints your own pages already call, so nothing is wired by hand for a public system. Private systems are set up with us.

- **What lands on the invoice**: The same month of traffic, charged two different ways.

- **Unused allowance rolls over**: Algomo credits roll over on a paid plan and never expire, holding up to 40% above the plan. Fin's outcome charges are per event, so there is nothing to carry.

See the row Fin answers No to

Seventeen rows above answer Yes on one side and No on the other. Acting inside the visitor's own session is the one you can watch: on Nike's website, with no integration project with Nike, the agent opens the results page beside the chat, filters it, opens the shoe the visitor picks and reads the stock on it, without the visitor leaving the conversation.

That recording is on [our Nike demo page](/demos/nike). Nike is not an Algomo customer, and no brand shown on this site is.

Where these rows come from

Fetched 31 August 2026, from the vendor's own pages. The $0.99 per outcome, the $9.99 per qualification and the 50-outcome monthly minimum on external helpdesks are on [fin.ai/pricing](https://fin.ai/pricing); the seat prices are on [Intercom's pricing page](https://www.intercom.com/pricing). The channel list is on [the channels page](https://fin.ai/channels), the prebuilt connector library on [the integrations page](https://fin.ai/integrations), and the free startup year is Intercom's own claim on its pricing page. Fin is also mid-acquisition: [Salesforce signed in June 2026](/resources/intercom-alternatives), and the full record is in our evidence post.

Ours are sourced the same way. The plans, the credit a conversation draws and the rollover are on [this site's pricing page](/pricing). Operating the agent from your own coding agent is documented on [the MCP page](/resources/mcp-customer-support). Everything the agent is shown doing is recorded on [our Nike demo page](/demos/nike).

Frequently asked questions

How is Algomo different from Intercom Fin?

Fin is a support platform with a helpdesk under it, answering on every channel and charging for each outcome. Algomo is one agent on your website that answers, acts on the page with the visitor, and books the ones worth a meeting.

Fin charges $9.99 per qualification. What does qualifying cost on Algomo?

Nothing on top. Qualifying happens inside the conversation, so it draws the same five credits as any other conversation.

Can Algomo run alongside our existing Intercom helpdesk?

Yes. Your team keeps its inbox; Algomo answers on the site, and your people can take over any conversation live, with the transcript attached. Nothing migrates, because the agent connects to the systems your site already uses.

Which channels does Algomo support?

Web chat on your website, and nothing else. Fin answers in email, voice, SMS, WhatsApp and Instagram as well. If most of your support arrives on those channels today, Fin is the better buy, and this page will still be here when the mix shifts.
