| Considered Both Products | | Chose Fin by Intercom We tried to use Help Scout for chats but it works so bad comparing to Intercom. Just not that intuitive and miss a lot of features.

More Info Chose Fin by Intercom Intercom is more powerful and evolving faster. Intercom has Fin AI integrated. Chatbot flows are great! It has more outbound features more.
