How do I receive what the bot can’t resolve?

When it doesn’t know something, it says so and invites the customer to contact your business directly. If you have a form set up (e.g. with the keyword “contact”), it collects their details and emails them to you; every conversation stays in your dashboard so your team can follow up by email, phone or WhatsApp.

Is the price difference really that big?

For a small business, yes: Intercom charges per seat and Fin ~$0.99 per resolution — the better it works, the more you pay. ChatME is flat: Pro is €79/month with unlimited conversations, however many it resolves.

Can I try it without committing?

Yes: the Free plan is €0 with no card, and paid plans have a 14-day trial. No lock-in.

CHATME VS INTERCOM

The Intercom alternative at small-business scale.

Intercom is an excellent support suite — for enterprise teams and budgets: you pay per seat, and its AI (Fin) charges per resolution. ChatME does the part a small business needs, at a flat price.

FAQ

Common questions vs Intercom

No. ChatME is the AI assistant that answers, captures and books. If you need multi-agent ticketing with SLAs and a help center, Intercom (or another suite) is that tool — though many small businesses find they don’t need one.
