Intercom is the more complete helpdesk, with SLAs and an AI agent that also works inside Zendesk or Salesforce, but every seat costs $29 to $132 a month and every Fin outcome $0.99. Dazza charges per conversation with unlimited seats, so a team of five handling 1,000 AI conversations a month pays $124 on Dazza and $739 on Intercom Essential with Fin, both billed yearly.
Both answer customers with AI. They differ in what they charge for and what they’re built to do.

If these matter most, Intercom Fin may be the right choice.
Ticketing, team inboxes and a public help centre come with Intercom, with SLAs on Expert. Dazza has a shared inbox with snoozes, merges, priorities and reply targets, and a hosted help centre, but no tickets of its own. On Growth it hands over into Zendesk, Freshdesk, HubSpot, Gorgias or Help Scout instead.
Fin can answer inside Salesforce, HubSpot, Freshdesk or Zendesk with no seat costs, from 50 outcomes a month. Dazza answers in its own chat, email and messaging channels and hands over into Zendesk, Freshdesk, HubSpot, Gorgias or Help Scout, but not Salesforce.
Intercom hosts in the US, EU or Australia and lists SOC 2, ISO 27001 and HIPAA. Dazza stores data in London, with a choice of region on Enterprise.
A conversation Fin passes to a person isn’t an outcome, so it costs nothing extra. Dazza counts every conversation it replies to, resolved or not.
Setup reads your site and drafts the agent. Most teams are live in an afternoon.
Sign up and give Dazza your website. It reads your pages, works out what the business does and drafts the agent. The trial is 14 days and 100 conversations, with no card.
Paste your Intercom help centre’s address in Knowledge, under Help centre. Dazza imports the articles under that address through its sitemap and adds new ones on each check. See Keep knowledge up to date.
Describe each job in plain words and Dazza drafts the workflow: the details to collect, the decisions, and whether the customer confirms or your team approves. On Growth, connect Stripe, Zapier or n8n over MCP.
Run saved tests and simulated customers against the draft, then publish. Replace the Intercom Messenger code with Dazza’s one line, and forward your support email to Dazza to answer email too.
More volumes in the cost guide, other options in the alternatives, and every plan on pricing.
For most teams, yes. With five people and 1,000 AI conversations a month, 60% resolved by Fin, Intercom Essential with Fin is $739 a month billed yearly: $145 in seats and $594 in outcomes. Dazza Growth is $124 billed yearly, or $149 monthly, with unlimited seats. See the cost guide for other volumes.
Intercom charges $0.99 when Fin resolves a conversation: the customer confirms the answer helped, or leaves without asking for more. Some other outcomes, such as a hand-off through a procedure, are billed too. It charges at most one outcome per conversation, and never when the customer asks for a person.
Yes. Paste your Intercom help centre’s address in Knowledge, under Help centre. Dazza imports the articles under that address through its sitemap and adds new ones on each check. See Keep knowledge up to date.
No. Dazza has its own shared inbox, where your team takes over a conversation with a summary and hands it back. If you want to keep the Intercom inbox, Fin is the better fit.
Yes, once. A conversation counts when Dazza replies, however long it runs and whether it ends resolved or with your team. Preview chats, threads only your team answers and spam Dazza skips are free.
