FAQ
About the calculator
How is Intercom priced?
Per seat per month, by plan, plus $0.99 for each Fin outcome (list prices, October 2026). Running several apps in one workspace needs Multibrand on Expert; otherwise each app is its own workspace and subscription. Add-ons and taxes are extra.
How accurate is this estimate?
It uses list prices as published on intercom.com in October 2026 and Helmdesk's current prices. It leaves out taxes, add-ons and any discount you negotiate, so treat it as a starting point, not a quote.
Why does Helmdesk not change with the number of seats?
Every paid Helmdesk plan has unlimited seats. Plans are sized by apps and tickets, so adding a teammate never changes the bill.
Is anything I enter saved?
No. The calculator runs in your browser; nothing is stored or sent.
