An Intercom Fin alternative that stays out of your help desk decision

If you want AI answers for customers but do not want to move support to a new desk - or to pay a little more every time a conversation is resolved - this page is for you.

  • Keep your help desk
  • Plans with AI credits
  • A person sends every desk reply

Why look for an Intercom Fin alternative?

Usually for one of three reasons. Platform: Fin is at its best inside Intercom, and not every team wants to run support there. Pricing: per-resolution pricing grows with success, which makes budgets hard to predict. Audience: teams want the same knowledge to answer their own staff, not just customers. SupaCortex answers customers on your website and in your app, drafts cited replies inside the desk you already use, and answers your team in chat - on plans with monthly credits.

  • Keep: your help desk, your help centre and your website.
  • Gain: cited drafts for agents, and team chat for staff.
  • Gain: a predictable plan with monthly AI credits.
  • Give up: autonomous ticket resolution in the desk.
  • Give up: AI on voice, WhatsApp and social channels (WhatsApp on our roadmap).
In detail

An honest ledger

What you keep

What most teams want from Fin carries across.

  • A chat assistant on your website that answers from your help centre, with sources.
  • An assistant inside your mobile app, through a WebView URL.
  • Lookups and actions on your own APIs - order status, a cancellation - with confirmation first.
  • Thumbs up and down on answers, and conversation logs per project.

What you gain

The reasons teams choose SupaCortex in the first place.

  • Freedom over the help desk: UnifyDesk built in, or any desk via the Draft API.
  • Team chat, so staff ask the same knowledge across every project.
  • Past Zendesk, osTicket and UnifyDesk tickets mined into reviewed, redacted Q&A.
  • Official documents ranked above past tickets, and "not enough evidence" instead of a guess.
  • Open models on infrastructure we operate.

What you give up

Stated plainly, because you would find out in week two otherwise.

  • Autonomous resolution inside the help desk - SupaCortex drafts, a person sends.
  • Voice, WhatsApp and social messaging channels.
  • Fin's deep integration with Intercom's inbox, messenger and reporting.
  • Token-by-token streaming - answers appear whole, after a short check.

If your support already runs on Intercom and you want AI to close conversations by itself, stay with Fin. We would rather say that here.

Frequently asked

Questions people ask before they start

No. UnifyDesk has SupaCortex built in; any other desk can call the Draft API to get cited reply drafts. Your website widget works regardless of which desk you use.

Not in the help desk. It drafts, and an agent edits and sends. On the website widget it answers customers directly. If fully automatic ticket resolution is what you need, Fin does more of that today.

Each plan includes monthly AI credits: an answer is 1 credit, a turn that calls your systems 2, a draft 3, and search is free. Credit packs never expire. You get alerts at 80% and 100%, and at zero answering pauses politely rather than running up a bill.

If they are published on a public site, point a website feed at it. Otherwise export them and upload the files. Keep any private articles in a project that is not used by the public widget.
