Starting a free trial

Signing up for Intercom is quick and easy.

  1. Choose your plan and click Start a free trial then simply enter your business email address to start your 14 day trial. No credit card required.

During the 14 day trial

You’ll have access to your chosen plan (Essential, Advanced, or Expert) along with Proactive Support Plus and unlimited Fin AI Copilot usage, with the ability to add as many seats as you need.

After the 14 day trial

After the free trial period, you'll be able to choose the plan you want to continue with at checkout. You can also choose to include or remove any add-ons.

Note:

  • The Expert plan is only available on annual subscriptions at checkout.

  • After your initial free trial ends, your messages and Help Desk setup will be saved but not live until you complete the purchase process.

Discounted annual subscriptions

You have the option at checkout to pay monthly or pay yearly for your subscription. Paying annually will grant a discount on seats depending on the plan. All products (plan, seats, and add-ons) purchased for an annual subscription will be billed ahead for 12 months and require payment upfront.

Customers with existing monthly subscriptions can't change to an annual subscription, you would need to cancel your current subscription and start a new one.

If you choose an annual subscription, you'll be able to choose the number of seats you'd like to include on your plan.

Note:

  • The minimum is set to the number of teammates currently assigned a seat on your workspace. If you'd like to purchase an annual subscription with less seats, you'll need to remove teammates from your workspace first.

  • If you choose to pay monthly, the seat input is disabled and locked to the number of existing teammates on your workspace. But seats can be added or removed throughout the month simply by adding or removing a teammate and you'll only be charged for the period they were assigned to a teammate.

  • If you choose to pay yearly, you can still add additional seats or add-ons to your subscription later, however, you won't be able to remove them during your subscription. Learn more.

When you're happy with your selection, click Continue to payment. Simply add your credit card details or choose Apple Pay / Google Pay to complete your purchase.
