Considered Both Products	Capacity Verified User Anonymous Chose Capacity The only other texting platform we've used was Eltropy, and although Eltropy was very good as well, Textel provided more of the features we felt we needed to offer the best customer experience. Incentivized Helpful?	Fin Verified User Anonymous Chose Fin We selected Fin because we're already using Intercom, and those other options would've required switching off of it. We don't have the capacity to work on something like this at this time, but realistically, that is the main reason. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Fin We used a much older version of Zendesk six years ago, so the AI features didn't exist back then—which makes it pretty hard to compare. In any case, I immediately found Intercom simpler, more intuitive, and more professional, with features the other platform didn't offer. … Incentivized Helpful? ZR Zakkery Rome Technical Support Specialist Chose Fin Fin completely surpasses our old system for support requests. Not only can we get granular data for each customer interaction, but we also now have access to top-quality metrics and reporting. The integrative nature of Fin also made it easier to transition platforms by simply … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Fin Both are quite similar, and we use both (Fin in Intercom, Chatbase in our custom in-app bot). Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Fin Forethought AI Agents, by Zendesk, Freddy AI for CX and HubSpot Service Hub Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Fin We selected Intercom over Zendesk as AI was ready to use and Zendesk did not have such features. Overall it was the right decision and everything including the switch to intercom went quite well. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Fin The choice was made before I joined the company, but we've evaluated the usage and purpose of Fin across the years and are still happy with our choice. Incentivized Helpful? Brian Stinga Manager, Technical Services Chose Fin Fin far surpasses these other options in platform features and capabilities. Fin allows for side-by-side use by both the Marketing and Support teams, while none of the other similar products did that well. Most platforms are designed for one or the other, not both. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Fin Since I have worked for the company, we have not used other tools that are similar. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Fin N/A Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Fin Our previous support platform didn't offer an AI agent (they used it internally for their own tickets, but there were delays with shipping it to their users, i.e., us, so we migrated to Intercom). Our colleagues from different brands within our own company demoed a different … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Fin There are so many AI platforms available, and you could theoretically build a system using the available AI API's from any of the big platforms. However, I dont think it's as easy as this. Intercom is deliberately built for customer service, the features they are releasing a … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Fin Fin by Intercom vs. Zendesk/Salesforce - Fin by Intercom is often cheaper at low-to-mid volumes because it has a lower base platform fee (starting around $29–$39/seat). However, Zendesk AI and Salesforce Agentforce can be more predictable for massive enterprises because they … Incentivized Helpful? GW Greg Watkins Senior CSM Chose Fin I havent' used any other products that competed with Intercom directly in my current role. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Fin We use Fin because we already use Intercom, and it was easy to train on and implement, given our current use of Intercom. Incentivized Helpful? Greg Watkins Manager, Customer Success Chose Fin I have only used the free versions of ChatGPT and Claude but I will say that Fin by Intercom AI is built specifically around our data that we give it access to, so its going to be a lot much accurate and safer for an organization to use. We have been happy Fin by Intercom users … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Fin We decided on Fim due to the ease of creation and integration, as well as its better-developed support. Decidimos pelo fim pela facilidade na criação e integração Assim como, um suporte melhor desenvolvido Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Fin Fin beat out our competitors in price, accuracy, ease of set-up/training, and also allowed us a free demo environment during the exploratory phase without needing to sign anything. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Fin Granted I think both Zendesk and Salesforce are very good tools, I still think that Fin by Intercom is the best I've used. Salesforce can be very laggy at times, and there's nothing that can be done about it. The interface is clunky. Zendesk is coming in at a real close second, … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Fin Huge difference: Crisp is immature yet can't read images or send images; the workflows are broken and cannot be relied upon. The agent breaks in between and is yet way behind. It need a lot of work yet and will be good to go in an year or two. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Fin Although we have not utilised a specific chat box like Fin before in other websites, we have used ChatGPT and Claude within our general work. Our Product and Engineering team make use of Devin within Azure Dev Ops to support with their work. However, Fin is the most suitable … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Fin I haven't used any others Incentivized Helpful? FS Francesca Standen-Davis Customer service manager Chose Fin NA Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Fin We were already using Intercom as our support ticket software and Intercom's Fin was the next logical upgrade - so it was an easy transition. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Fin Fin AI is way better than those above I've tried in my career. Easier to train and manage. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Capacity	Fin
Likelihood to Recommend	If looking for a platform for both one-on-one and mass texting, Textel allows for both while also providing an easy to use interface. Analytics are robust enough to suit most needs of an organization and customer service has been excellent so far. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Fin is fantastic at answering simpler inquiries, where the range and types of questions are easier to categorize. Thereby reducing the subset of possible answers. Where it has shown great improvement - but still needs more improvement - is by becoming a true Agentic AI support engineer that is capable of answering more technically nuanced questions. Our product has a lot of variables used for troubleshooting that cannot be adequately captured in documentation. Even though we provide thousands of pages of spec docs, each issue is unique. Training and empowering Fin to be as good as a Level 1 support engineer is still very challenging. Brian Stinga Manager, Technical Services Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	Serves as the first point of interaction. Answers questions based on the knowledge base. Tries to suggest a solution for reported issues (in some cases). Gives the option to improve its answer. Learns from other conversations and replies by humans. Understands other languages. Interprets images (somewhat). Incentivized VV Vishal Vaswani Customer satisfaction and QA Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	It seems some users really struggle to figure out how to escalate to a human (especially through email). Not excited about how "soft" resolutions still count as resolutions and are paid for. Though some abandoned cases appear to be able to be concluded as "the user got the answer they needed", there are others where they clearly didn't, because they just open up another chat (or even more), trying to get more info. This pads the resolution stats and makes it seem more effective than it actually is. Cost -- Fin is quite expensive. It helps us with scaling coverage, but we're not really saving money.

Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	We have been and will be continuing our journey with Intercom and nothing too concerning has happened that I have experienced or heard of that has us on the edge yet. If it ever happens it will be something along the lines of "Outgrowing" the use of need of the platform. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	The platform is overall clear and intuitive. As with any new platform, there's a learning curve, but that wasn't an issue for our team (and it shouldn't be an issue for others). Fin options are scattered across several submenus, and I'd like them grouped together, but I also like having all those training-related tabs open at all times, so it's not much of a real issue for me.

Reliability and Availability	No answers on this topic	always there Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Performance	No answers on this topic	Fin is super quick and top notch. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	I can get help by asking Fin questions about itself. It answers accurately, citing its own Help Center resources with visuals. It can reason and dialogue well. But when it comes to getting human support for Fin, it is not as quick. It can sometimes take a few days. They are polite and well-meaning. Some things aren't their fault (product limitations), but there was one occasion where something took a long time to resolve with lots of back and forth but it was I who found out the error in the end that they missed, so they didn't really help resolve it.

Online Training	No answers on this topic	It was great. We were able to walk through step by step and get our questions answered along the way. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Implementation Rating	No answers on this topic	The implementation was surprisingly easy but we are having to adapt from our old process to work well with Intercom. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	New role opportunities — Using the “Fin-first” approach has reduced the workload for our Tier 1 team, giving them more time to focus on their own career growth. It’s also opened the door to a dedicated, AI-focused role, where a team member regularly reviews Fin’s answers and makes updates to help it perform even better. Enabling Fin has also reduced our response time and allowed us to meet SLA's. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
