How much does a qualified lead cost?
$9.99 per lead when Fin matches the prospect to your criteria and routes them (books call, starts trial, etc.). Disqualifications and self-serve routing cost $0.99 each.
Am I charged per message or per conversation?
Per outcome per conversation. You're charged at most once per conversation, even if Fin takes multiple actions or answers multiple questions.

No. Fin for Sales only works on Intercom. Fin on other helpdesks (Salesforce, HubSpot, Freshworks) is service-only, not sales-focused.
Is there a free trial?
