The useful differences

What changes in your day?

Minnas and Intercom at a glance
What matters	Minnas	Intercom
Everyday workflow	Email and Messenger together, with optional Shopify, WooCommerce, and BigCommerce context.	Fin AI, customer messaging, shared inbox, and help center.
How you pay	Free for one Teammate. Core: $49/month. Pro: $99/month. Both paid plans include unlimited Teammates.	Platform plans charge per user, with Fin billed by outcome. Optional products and certain channels add to the total; monthly and annual rates differ.
What to factor in	Unlimited human conversations. Free has 30-day history; paid plans have unlimited history. AI has monthly and daily allowances.	Compare the full team subscription, expected Fin outcomes, and optional products. An AI outcome and a Minnas AI action are different units, so a direct unit-price comparison would be misleading.

Where Intercom stands out

AI and a broader service platform

Intercom combines Fin with messaging, a shared inbox, and a help center. Higher tiers add workflow and team capabilities, while optional products cover proactive support. Evaluate it when that wider platform is part of your actual requirements.

The Minnas approach

One place to pick up the conversation.

A customer writes in. You see the conversation, bring in a Teammate, and keep the answer moving. Add Messenger to your website and connect your store when order context helps. You can also publish help articles for the questions that come up again and again.

A thoughtful move

Try the fit before you switch.

01 / MAKE A SHORT LIST

Bring your real needs.

List the channels, store actions, and automations you use. Try your essential workflows in a new Minnas Workspace before moving customer traffic.

02 / BRING SOME HISTORY

Start with a small import.

Minnas accepts conversation CSV files under 10 MB with a name or email and message body. Exports may need reshaping. Test a sample; attachments, rules, and every original field will not automatically transfer.

03 / CHECK BOTH DIRECTIONS

Make the handoff carefully.

Reconnect email and store Channels, set up Messenger, and check incoming messages and outgoing replies. Keep access to your old history while you confirm the new setup.
