Comparison
| Algomo | Intercom Fin | Answering from your content | Taking action in your systems | Selling before purchase | Operating the page with the visitor | Where it runs | Time to go live | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yes | Yes, and it is their strength | |||||||
| From endpoints it discovers itself | Actions wired up per API by your engineers | |||||||
| Live stock, live price, real basket | Built around support, not the pre-purchase journey | |||||||
| Yes | No | |||||||
| Your site (in the visitor's own session), plus the channels you switch on | Server side | |||||||
| Minutes, because the agent finds the APIs itself | "Live with any helpdesk in less than an hour", their words, and genuinely fast. Actions still wait on your engineers. |

Answering is table stakes now
Every serious tool answers well; the difference is what happens at "let me do that for you".
Same counting rules, 80% less
We adopted Intercom's own outcome definition on purpose: it is the fairest standard in the category, and it makes the comparison simple. Fin charges $0.99 per resolution. Algomo charges $0.20 per useful conversation, counted the same way. Chat itself is never metered on either side of that price.
The lookup, the basket, the booking, without an integration project
With Fin, every action waits on your engineering backlog. Algomo starts from the endpoints your site already uses, so the common ones exist on day one.

Questions, answered
Can Algomo run alongside our existing Intercom helpdesk?
Yes. It works alongside whatever helpdesk you already use and hands over to it with context.
Do we have to migrate anything?
No. The agent connects to your site's own systems, so nothing moves.
Can we try it before deciding?
Yes. You can have a working agent on your own site in minutes, before any sales conversation.
How long until we can compare them side by side?
Minutes. Run Algomo on your own site and judge it against your shortlist.
