An Intercom support engineer said in October 2023 that a nonprofit discount exists but is only offered to organisations based in the US; the size of the discount is not published (third parties report 50%).

Contact Intercom (sales or support) with proof of US nonprofit status and ask for the nonprofit discount.

About Intercom+

Intercom is a customer service platform with a chat messenger, shared inbox and help centre. Its AI agent, Fin, answers questions from your content and is charged per outcome, so you pay only when it solves something. It is powerful but built for companies, so it is expensive for small charities. A nonprofit discount has been reported for US organisations only.

Pricing: Essential US$29, Advanced US$85 and Expert US$132 per seat per month on annual billing. Fin AI Agent costs US$0.99 per resolved outcome, with a minimum monthly commitment if bought standalone for another help desk. 14-day free trial. Extra usage charges apply for email, SMS, WhatsApp and phone.

Data & privacy+

Fin workspaces are hosted in the US by default, with regional workspaces available in the EU (Dublin) or Australia (Sydney) on AWS. Intercom says its third-party language model providers are contractually barred from training on conversation data and apply zero data retention. We could not load its security page to confirm certifications.

How sure are we?+

Partly confirmed on the vendor's pages; some details from reputable secondary sources. Prices and nonprofit programs change often, so check with Intercom before you commit. Rankings on Nonprofit Tools are never for sale.
