Pricing

Intercom charges per seat, and Fin is charged per outcome on top, from USD 0.99 each, about RM 4.06. If Fin had 1,000 outcomes in a month, that would be about USD 990, or about RM 4,060, before seats. WhatsApp, SMS and email campaigns are pay as you go.

doTask charges one price per business. Growth is RM 449 a month with five seats and 1,000 AI Agent conversations a month included, and AI conversation packs add more. A conversation counts once a month however many messages it has.

Where Intercom is stronger

Intercom is a leading platform for software companies. Fin can run on Intercom's own helpdesk or on one you already use. Proactive messages, free lite seats, phone and detailed reporting suit larger support teams. For a software product with a big user base, it goes much further than doTask.

Where doTask is different

doTask is made for businesses that sell and book through chat. The AI Agent answers on WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, web chat and email from your own pages, files, Q&A and products, and on paid plans it books the appointment or class in the chat.

Bookings, memberships, invoices and email marketing sit beside the inbox, and the AI is part of the plan, so a busy month does not raise the bill.

Questions

Is a Fin outcome the same as a doTask AI conversation?

Not quite. Intercom bills Fin for each outcome. doTask counts an AI conversation once a month however many messages it has, and the plan includes a set number of them.

Which is cheaper for a small team?

doTask Starter is RM 199 a month for two seats with 300 AI conversations. Two Intercom Essential seats are USD 58 a month billed yearly, about RM 238, before Fin outcomes and channel fees.
