The model in one table
Why per resolution
Most support software charges for access (seats) or for activity (conversations, messages, or tokens). Both models bill you for a conversation even when the customer’s problem wasn’t solved and your team had to finish the job. Per-resolution pricing ties the bill to the outcome:- If the agent solves the issue, you pay for one resolution. That conversation no longer needs a person.
- If the agent can’t solve it, you pay nothing for it. The agent escalates to your team with full context, so your teammate starts from the conversation instead of a blank ticket, and you can see in the AI Steps trace why it handed off.
- Your incentives and Fini’s line up. Fini earns more only when the agent resolves more. Improving Knowledge, Intent Rules, and Actions raises your resolution rate, and every extra resolution is a conversation your team didn’t have to handle.
What you are never charged for
The same rules as a decision path, from an incoming conversation to the bill:
Analytics also shows Deflection rate, which is
100% - Human escalation rate and counts waiting conversations as deflected. Billing does not follow deflection. Use AI resolution rate, which counts only Resolved by AI conversations, when you think about spend. See Resolution vs deflection.How to estimate your spend
You can estimate billable resolutions before you launch, then replace the estimate with real numbers once the agent is live.1
Start from monthly conversation volume
Use your helpdesk’s monthly inbound volume across the channels you plan to put Fini on (chat, email, voice). Once Fini is live, use Conversation volume from the Analytics KPI cards instead.
2
Remove traffic that is never billable
Subtract greetings, spam, and conversations customers abandon. If you don’t have a baseline, review a sample of a few hundred recent tickets and count them.
3
Apply an expected resolution rate
Multiply what’s left by the share you expect the agent to resolve end to end. Plan with the rollout timeline in mind: the knowledge agent is live on day 1, agentic workflows come by day 14, and full autonomy by day 30, so resolution rate climbs over the first month as you add Intent Rules and Actions. After launch, use AI resolution rate from Analytics.
4
Multiply by the current rate
Billable resolutions times the per-resolution rate on the pricing page gives your estimate. Same-issue reopens within 72 hours are billed once, so this estimate is conservative.
Voice
The Fini agent also answers inbound phone calls (see Voice). Voice rates are published on the pricing page.How you buy and pay
Direct contract, invoiced through Stripe
Under the Terms of Service, fees are invoiced through Stripe with 30-day payment terms. Stripe is listed as Fini’s billing and subscription subprocessor on the Trust Center.Microsoft Marketplace (MACC-eligible)
Fini is listed on the Microsoft Commercial Marketplace. Buying through the Marketplace means:- One contract and one invoice through Microsoft. No separate vendor onboarding.
- MACC-eligible spend. Purchases count toward your Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment.
- Azure-hosted deployment. Fini can be deployed in your Azure tenant, with Entra ID and Conditional Access, Private Link and VNet support, and customer-managed encryption keys.
Changing how you’re billed
Custom volume and contract terms are available for enterprise deployments. If your traffic has a very high volume or a very short handle time, Fini can also quote a per-conversation rate instead of per resolution, modeled against your real traffic.
