Everything Intercom Does Is One Feature Inside Teammates

Intercom built a chat widget and added Fin — a bot that charges $0.99 per resolution. Website chat is one channel Raya covers. Raya works across WhatsApp, email, phone, Slack, Teams, Instagram, Facebook, and live chat. She resolves 90%+ of tickets autonomously, takes real actions (refunds, order lookups, payment processing), and her knowledge base self-heals. Plus Raya shares memory with Adam (sales) and Sara (hiring).

Intercom's $0.99 Per Resolution Trap

The Hidden Truth

Intercom's pricing punishes you for success. The more customers you help with AI, the more you pay. At 20,000 resolutions, you're paying $20,170/month vs Teammates' $50. That's drastically more expensive.

Escape the Trap

Escape the Per-Resolution Trap

Stop overpaying for customer support. Switch from Intercom's per-resolution pricing to Teammates' 3 AI teammates from $25/month.

The Bottom Line
