The short version

  • Only Intercom has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: AB Tasty pricing is not published and requires a demo or a sales conversation; Intercom pricing is high and unpredictable with confusing per-seat, per-feature, and usage-based structure that makes cost estimation difficult
  • They diverge on capability: AB Tasty covers A/B testing, Intercom covers AI-powered inbox.
