Decagon vs Intercom Fin (2026)
The pricing models are as different as the products.
Fin publishes outcome based pricing at 99 cents per resolution, standalone from 49 dollars a month with fifty resolutions included, and documents 12 of 14 including full coverage on testing and human oversight. Decagon is purpose built for support with deep toolchain integration and quotes through sales, documenting 10 of 14 with stronger memory coverage. Fin is the one you can price before the call; Decagon is the one you configure to a support operation that has outgrown packaged tooling.
Choose Decagon if
- Deep integration into an existing support toolchain is the requirement and you want it configured to you.
- Memory across conversations matters: Decagon documents full coverage where the difference shows.
- Your volume and complexity justify a sales led implementation rather than a packaged product.
Choose Intercom Fin if
- You want to model cost before committing, and 99 cents per resolution is a number you can forecast.
- Simulation based testing before deployment is a requirement, and Fin documents full coverage.
- You are already on Intercom, or you want to start standalone at 49 dollars a month without a sales cycle.
