Summary

Intercom's live chat widget and AI-assisted 'Fin' chatbot are genuinely strong for SaaS companies that want support baked into the product experience, not a separate ticket queue. Pricing is seat- and usage-based and adds up quickly at scale, which is the most common complaint from growing teams.
