Where ChatKit wins
Built to fix exactly that.
Hard cap by default
When you reach your limit, ChatKit stops starting AI conversations and offers visitors email or a human. No surprise invoice.
No per-seat pricing
Unlimited team seats from Starter. Add your whole team to the inbox without a seat bill.
Built for small teams
Paste your URL and the agent is answering in about a minute. No implementation project.

When Intercom Fin might be the better choice
Fin is a mature product with voice, phone and enterprise integrations. If you run a large support org already on Intercom or Zendesk, its depth may justify the price.
