Pricing reality

Intercom looks like a seat fee. The add-ons stack up.

  • Seats run $29 (Essential), $85 (Advanced), and $132 (Expert) per seat a month on annual billing, more month to month
  • Fin AI adds $0.99 for every outcome, a resolution or a procedure handoff
  • Add-ons stack on top: Pro analytics $99 a month, Copilot $29 per agent, Proactive Support Plus $99 a month
  • Email, SMS, WhatsApp, and phone are billed pay as you go on top

YourLio is one flat plan, and the agent spends its time recommending products and recovering carts, work that shows up as revenue.

Flat. AI included. No surprises.

Intercom answers the question. YourLio drives the purchase.

Intercom

Fin resolves support queries well, and you pay $0.99 each time it does. It is not designed to recommend products and push a buyer toward checkout.

YourLio

YourLio reads hesitation on the product page, recommends the right SKU, offers a discount code, and sends a checkout link before the buyer leaves.

One memory across every channel.

Intercom

Intercom centers the inbox. Carrying context from Instagram to WhatsApp to email depends on how you wire it up.

YourLio

YourLio keeps one buyer profile across storefront, WhatsApp, Instagram, and email, so every reply builds on the last and moves toward a sale.
