Illustrative monthly AI software costs. My AskAI: Pro, 90% chat, 10% email, two AI replies per handled ticket, no paid options. Email uses extra credits, giving 2.1 credits per average ticket in this mix. Vendor AI/copilot fees use the full stated agent count. Existing helpdesk subscriptions, taxes and contract discounts are excluded. Target resolution is an input; vendors define billable events differently. Gorgias Pro monthly AI: $190 includes 190 interactions, then $1.50 per extra interaction. Other plans can differ.

Pricing models

How Gorgias AI and Intercom Fin pricing works

Gorgias AI and Intercom Fin take different approaches to pricing their AI customer support agents. Understanding these differences is critical because the same ticket volume can result in wildly different monthly bills depending on which model you're on.

Gorgias logo

Allowance and overage pricing

Gorgias AI

This comparison models Gorgias Pro monthly AI: $190 includes 190 automated interactions, then $1.50 per extra interaction. Other plans and annual contracts can differ. Gorgias also requires a helpdesk subscription; common existing helpdesk fees are excluded from the calculator comparison.

Intercom logo

Per-resolution pricing

Intercom Fin

Charges $0.99 each time the AI resolves a conversation (i.e. the customer doesn't get transferred to a human). Intercom decides what counts as a 'resolution' — if a customer asks a question and gets an AI response but doesn't escalate, that's billed as a resolution even if the answer wasn't helpful.

The fine print

Hidden costs and gotchas

Before committing to either Gorgias AI or Intercom Fin, here are the costs and catches that won't be obvious from their pricing pages.

Gorgias logo

What to watch for

Gorgias AI

  • The Pro monthly AI allowance costs $190 for 190 interactions.
  • $1.50 is the rate above that allowance, not the rate for every interaction.
  • 5,000 modeled AI interactions cost $7,405 under this assumption, before the separate helpdesk subscription.
  • Check other Gorgias plans, annual terms and your actual billable-interaction definition.
Intercom logo

What to watch for

Intercom Fin

  • Unpredictable monthly bills — as your AI resolution rate improves, costs go up proportionally
  • You're charged $0.99 even if the AI's answer didn't actually solve the customer's problem, as long as they didn't escalate
  • Reddit users report 120% billing increases after enabling Fin (e.g. $4k to $9k/month)
  • Copilot is an additional $35/agent/month on top of resolution costs

The cost nobody talks about

What happens when the AI can't answer?

Check each vendor’s rules for a billable interaction or resolution. A target AI resolution rate is a modeling input, not a billing guarantee.

Gorgias logo

Allowance and overage pricing

Gorgias AI

Gorgias applies its automated-interaction billing rules. The allowance and overage model is not a measurement of customer satisfaction. Check the current pricing documentation and your contract.

Intercom logo

Per-resolution pricing

Intercom Fin

Intercom Fin charges per resolution — if a customer asks a question and gets an AI response but doesn't escalate, you're billed $0.99 regardless of whether the answer was actually helpful. If the customer does escalate to a human, you're not charged for a resolution, but you are paying for the human agent's time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I keep Zendesk or Intercom?

Yes. My AskAI connects to your existing Zendesk or Intercom helpdesk, so your team can keep its inbox and workflows. Start with draft Note replies where supported, review the results, then enable direct replies. Zendesk Messaging does not support Note replies. View the setup guides.

What will my bill be at 30,000 or 50,000 tickets each month?

Your bill depends on your plan, chat and email mix, AI replies per ticket, and paid options. Use the pricing calculator to compare 30,000 or 50,000 monthly tickets and view the breakdown. For Enterprise volume pricing, review your requirements with our team. A ticket count alone is not a full quote.

How can I compare answers with our current AI agent?

Run the same support questions through both agents. Compare answer correctness, source links and human handover against your support policies. My AskAI batch testing lets you add your own question set. Use Note replies for real-ticket checks where supported before enabling direct replies. See the testing guide.

What must our technical team connect?

Connect your helpdesk and approved knowledge sources first. For account-specific answers, your technical team may need to create or update an API endpoint for customer data. Tasks and Tools also need the relevant system connections and access rules. Review the User Data API and agree which actions the agent can perform before rollout.

Which topics can stay with human agents?

You can keep sensitive topics, complaints and exceptions with your human team. Use guidance, helpdesk routing, and AI Tagging where supported to control which topics receive direct replies, Note replies or no AI reply. Test each rule before rollout. AI Tagging is a paid option and is not available for Zendesk Messaging or HubSpot. See the reply-control guide.

Which security documents can we review?

Use our Trust Center to review or request security documents, including our SOC 2 Type II report. Our GDPR guide links to the Data Processing Agreement and explains how paid users can request a signed copy. HIPAA support and a Business Associate Agreement are available on Enterprise. Some documents require an access request.

Why My AskAI?

Why should you choose My AskAI over a native AI agent in your help desk (such as Fin AI, Zendesk AI, Freddy AI, Breeze AI or Gorgias Automate)? Because it is at least 5x cheaper per ticket, has the same (or better) answer quality, can be set-up in minutes with no technical know-how, enables you to use AI internally (in addition to directly replying to customers), has advanced features like: insights, improve, guidance, user data APIs, tools, actions and tasks and you don't have to start again if you end up moving help desks. Oh, and did we mention it's at least 5x less expensive?!

What are your most popular live chat apps?

Intercom — Our AI agent for Intercom can directly replace Intercom's Fin AI product and is 5x cheaper. You can also add content from multiple sources instead of just Intercom articles and webpages. Zendesk — Our AI agent for Zendesk can directly replace Zendesk's AI agents and is 5x cheaper. You can also add content from multiple sources instead of just Zendesk articles. Freshchat — Our AI agent for Freshchat gives your Freshcat widget the ability to have AI-powered customer support. You can also add content from multiple sources instead of just Freshdesk articles. Hubspot — Our AI agent for Hubspot gives your Hubspot chat widget, emails or messages the ability to have AI-powered customer support. All for 5x cheaper than HubSpot's Breeze AI. Gorgias — Our AI agent for Gorgias can directly replace Gorgias' Automate product and is 5x cheaper. You can also add content from multiple sources instead of just Gorgias articles and webpages.

How secure are My AskAI's AI agents?

All uploaded content is stored in isolated containers. All data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit. Your data is never used for any reason (including AI model training) other than servicing API calls or customer support at your request only. Learn more about security.

How does the intelligent AI escalation work?

When a question can't confidently be answered by the AI agent, then your customers are given the option to 'Talk to a person', if they select this option, they are seamlessly transferred to one of your agents within your existing support tool e.g. Intercom or Zendesk.

How can I use My AskAI's AI agent with my existing live chat tool e.g. Intercom, Zendesk or Freshchat?

You can install My AskAI's approved app from your existing help desk, ticket or support provider's App Store / Marketplace. My AskAI will then work within your existing live chat widget or ticketing platform (replacing their native AI offerings) and new conversations will be handled by the AI agent before transferring to a human if they can't be resolved. See how it works for Intercom, Zendesk Messaging or Freshchat (also available for Gorgias and HubSpot).

What is an AI customer support agent?

An AI customer support agent is an artificial intelligence system that can understand natural language conversations and questions, and provide helpful responses based on its training. My AskAI allows you to build your own personalized AI agent by uploading your own documents, content, manuals, etc. The AI agent then learns from this uploaded content and can answer questions instantly based on the information provided to it. If it can't answer, it passes the conversation over to a human member of your team.

What is My AskAI?

My AskAI is an AI agent for your customer support. You add all of your company's help docs, internal content and customer data so your customers can have instant answers to any question, 24.7. You can then add your AI agent to your existing ticket platform or chat app e.g. Intercom or Zendesk. Note: We are not affiliated with 'AskAI', the mobile app, despite the similar names.

What content types can I add to train my AI agent?

My AskAI supports adding many different types of content to train your AI agent. You can add your entire website and help center, or upload documents, SOPs or even connect live user or product data from your back end systems. Your AI agent will be able to answer any question about the content you upload.

How much does My AskAI cost?

Pro includes usage equivalent to about 1,000 chat tickets with two AI replies each. Additional usage is billed at $0.12 per equivalent chat ticket on Pro or $0.10 on Scale. Email tickets use more credits because the first reply uses twice the credits of a chat reply. Your bill also depends on reply count and selected options. View the full pricing breakdown.

How do I create an AI agent using My AskAI?

Creating an AI agent with My AskAI is easy. You can sign up to our 30 day free trial and create your first AI agent in under 5 minutes. You'll then be able to add all your relevant 'knowledge' (like Help Centres, websites, documents) and immediately start asking example customer support questions. Once you're happy with the responses, you can add your agent to your existing help desk.
