How we calculated
Freshdesk, HubSpot, Tidio Lyro and Intercom Fin sell conversations, not answers. We count a conversation as 2 answers; with fewer answers a conversation, their price per answer is higher. HubSpot and Intercom charge only for resolved conversations.
Prices from each company's own pricing page, monthly billing in US dollars, checked 28 October 2026. On Rendel, an answer that does unusually heavy work counts as 2 or more. Chatbase, Freshdesk Freddy, HubSpot, Tidio Lyro, Intercom Fin
