Side by side
Product attributes first, then what the sources establish for each customer workflow, then the industries they place each agent in. Open any claim to see its source, the date it was checked, and how to request a correction. Two agents are rarely documented to the same depth, so read a difference between the two columns as a difference in the public record before reading it as a difference in the products.
What this agent was judged by
No independent source has been found for any fit area, so every state here rests on vendor material or nothing.States rest on 0 independent sources. This is not the same yardstick for every agent, and that asymmetry is a known limitation.
What this agent was judged by

| Attribute | Fin | PolyAI |
|---|---|---|
| Review basis | Source-based review | Source-based review |
| Deployment model | Vendor-hosted service used with Intercom or a supported existing help desk. Configuration and integration work depend on the task.Vendor-reported
| PolyAI states its service is hosted on AWS, that the company is ISO 27001-certified and aligned with National Cyber Security Centre guidelines; it publishes Sandbox, Staging and Live environments with API-driven publishing, and no self-hosted option is documented.Vendor-reported
|
| Channels | The FAQ lists web and mobile Messenger, email, WhatsApp, SMS, Facebook, and Instagram. Confirm separate voice or other channel access and feature coverage for the intended deployment.Vendor-reported
| PolyAI is voice-first — its documentation calls it an "enterprise platform for building voice and chat agents" and its pricing is per minute of voice-agent use — with secondary documented channels covering web chat, SMS and RCS, email, and iOS/Android SDKs (including in-app voice calling).Vendor-reported
|
| Languages | Intercom lists supported languages and regional variants, including Polish, French, Japanese, and Arabic. Enable the required workspace languages; cross-language knowledge fallback requires real-time translation.Vendor-reported
| PolyAI's languages page claims "75+ languages with native fluency" and lists 42 by name, while its developer documentation homepage states 24+ languages.Vendor-reported
|
| Help desk and CRM integrations | Intercom, Zendesk, Salesforce, Freshdesk, and HubSpot are documented deployment options. Confirm the connector supports the required channel and actions.Vendor-reported
| PolyAI documents integrations with Salesforce (customer lookup and case management), Zendesk (Talk voice routing and ticketing), Gladly, NICE CXone, Amazon Connect, Webex, Five9 and Twilio, and its marketing site claims "130+ integrations available" across telephony/voice routing, CRM and knowledge, productivity, and vertical systems.Vendor-reported
|
| Knowledge sources | Help articles, internal support content, PDFs, and webpages; audience settings control which content Fin can use for a customer.Vendor-reported
| PolyAI combines curated FAQ topics with RAG over external sources — scraped URLs, uploaded files (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, CSV, JSON, XML, MD, HTML, EML, EPUB and more) and beta syncs from Zendesk Help Center and Gladly — chunked at 2000 characters with 500-character overlap.Vendor-reported
|
| Actions in backend systems | Configured Procedures can combine conditions, code, and data connectors or MCP access to external systems. Actions execute sequentially and require the appropriate integration permissions.Vendor-reported
| PolyAI states its agents perform account management, authentication, call routing, billing and payments, booking and reservations, order management, troubleshooting and FAQ against integrated systems, with custom connectors documented alongside telephony, CRM and payments integrations.Vendor-reported
|
| Human handoff | Escalation rules and guidance control handoff; workflows set the human destination. A bot-only workflow without a human routing target does not offer escalation.Vendor-reported
| PolyAI documents that the agent "runs autonomously by default and escalates to a human only when needed", transferring calls via SIP REFER, SIP INVITE or SIP BYE and passing customer ID, verification status, escalation reason and transcript through SIP headers and the Handoff and Conversations APIs.Vendor-reported
|
| Target customer size | Fin has an explicit enterprise offering. Assess required integrations and operating controls instead of using company size as a proxy for fit.Vendor-reported
| PolyAI targets enterprise contact centres across nine industries and sells via demo request, with ongoing use "priced on a per-minute basis, which includes proactive performance improvements, maintenance and 24/7 support" and no published price points or free tier.Vendor-reported
|
| Vendor-reported performance claims | Fin's homepage reports a 76% average resolution rate across 12,000+ customers. This is a vendor aggregate, not our result or a forecast for a particular workload.Vendor-reported
| Unknown |
| Workflow evidenceBilling Illustrative scenario I was charged twice for the same order. Can you refund the extra payment? What to verify: Verify identity, inspect payment records, apply the refund policy, and confirm the payment-system result. If no authorized refund action is connected, hand off with the evidence. | Vendor-documented Illustrative scenario: a customer asks for an invoice copy. Give the workflow authenticated access to the correct account and a permitted retrieval action. A disputed charge needs separate policy and escalation rules; the source does not demonstrate reliable dispute adjudication. 1 cited claim for billing on FinFin advertises invoice requests and subscription management through connected systems on its enterprise page. This is a configured workflow capability, not access to a buyer's billing account by default.Vendor-reported
| External report PolyAI's own handoff documentation names billing disputes as an example of a conversation the agent escalates to a human rather than resolving. 2 cited claims for billing on PolyAIPolyAI's integrations page lists "billing & payments" among the functions its agents perform against connected systems.Vendor-reported
TechCrunch reported that PolyAI's voice assistants complete tasks including payment processing for contact-centre callers.Independent report
|
| Workflow evidenceOrders Illustrative scenario My order has not arrived. Where is it? What to verify: Retrieve the correct order and current carrier status. Distinguish a real tracking update from an estimate; do not invent a delivery date. | Vendor-documented Illustrative scenario: a shopper asks where an order is. The reply needs a verified customer-to-order match and current delivery data. Check that lookup in the intended channel; shopping features in web Messenger do not establish equivalent functionality elsewhere. 1 cited claim for orders on FinFin for Ecommerce documents a native Shopify connection for catalogue and order data, plus APIs and draft Procedures for post-purchase requests.Vendor-reported
| External report PolyAI's integrations page lists "order management" and "booking & reservations" among the supported agent functions. 2 cited claims for orders on PolyAIPolyAI's integrations page lists "order management" and "booking & reservations" among the supported agent functions.Vendor-reported
TechCrunch reported that PolyAI's system handles order status updates and reservation management on inbound calls.Independent report
|
| Workflow evidenceReturns Illustrative scenario I bought this 12 days ago and opened the box. Can I return it? What to verify: Check the actual return window, product exclusions, and order record. A policy answer and an executed return are different capabilities. | Vendor-documented Illustrative scenario: a customer returns an eligible item. Configure the return window, exclusions, permitted refund action, and human review for exceptions. Listing a returns capability does not establish that a particular store policy is implemented correctly. 1 cited claim for returns on FinFin for Ecommerce lists returns, refunds, and order changes as supported conversational workflows. These rely on the connected store and configured post-purchase actions.Vendor-reported
| Not established No supporting source is recorded here. Validate it with the vendor; absence of evidence does not establish a missing capability. |
| Workflow evidenceProduct questions Illustrative scenario Does this adapter work with my exact laptop model? What to verify: Use a current, approved compatibility source. Ask for the model when missing and distinguish documented compatibility from an assumption. | Vendor-documented Illustrative scenario: a customer asks whether their subscription includes an export feature. Supply current plan-specific documentation and check that Fin distinguishes plans rather than combining incompatible answers. Documentation establishes the answering mechanism, not an accuracy rate. 1 cited claim for product questions on FinFin builds answers from help articles, internal support content, PDFs, and webpages. Audience rules can limit which content applies to a customer.Vendor-reported
| Vendor-documented URL ingestion is documented as limited to one level below the starting URL and a maximum of ten embedded pages, and the Zendesk and Gladly knowledge syncs are marked beta. Those constrain one ingestion route rather than the capability itself, so they are recorded here rather than as a gap. No independent evidence of answer quality was found, so the verdict stays unknown. 1 cited claim for product questions on PolyAIPolyAI documents curated FAQ topics, retrieval-augmented generation, and external knowledge sources ingested from URLs, files (PDF, Office, CSV, JSON, HTML and others) and helpdesk knowledge bases.Vendor-reported
|
| Workflow evidenceAccount issues Illustrative scenario I lost access to my email. Change the address on my account. What to verify: Follow the approved identity-recovery process before accessing or changing account data. Escalate when identity cannot be verified. | Vendor-documented Illustrative scenario: an authenticated customer changes an account detail. Restrict which fields the workflow may update and route failed identity checks to a human. A support article explaining a password reset is different from permission to change credentials. 1 cited claim for account issues on FinIntercom describes account troubleshooting and identity verification as Procedure use cases, with configurable system access and branching logic.Vendor-reported
| Not established No supporting source is recorded here. Validate it with the vendor; absence of evidence does not establish a missing capability. |
| Workflow evidenceComplaints Illustrative scenario I have contacted you three times and the problem is still unresolved. What to verify: Recognize the repeat complaint, retain relevant history, and route it to the right team. Do not promise compensation outside the policy. | Vendor-documented Illustrative scenario: a customer says repeated answers have not helped. Check that the configured guidance triggers handoff and preserves the issue history. Detecting frustration does not demonstrate that the complaint was resolved. 1 cited claim for complaints on FinFin documents escalation for explicit human requests, detected frustration, and repeated loops. Custom guidance can override default escalation behavior.Vendor-reported
| Caveat documented PolyAI's handoff documentation names complaints, alongside billing disputes and out-of-scope requests, as the conversation types where the agent escalates to a human rather than resolving autonomously. 1 cited claim for complaints on PolyAIPolyAI's handoff documentation names complaints, alongside billing disputes and out-of-scope requests, as the conversation types where the agent escalates to a human rather than resolving autonomously.Vendor-reported
|
| Workflow evidenceHuman handoff Illustrative scenario Please connect me to a person who can approve this exception. What to verify: Transfer to an available team with the conversation and relevant records. Outside working hours, explain the actual follow-up path rather than promise immediate contact. | Vendor-documented Illustrative scenario: a customer asks for a person after an unsuccessful answer. Verify the destination inbox, transcript transfer, and after-hours response. A handoff event alone does not show how quickly a human replies. 1 cited claim for human handoff on FinFin uses configured workflows to route escalations. Intercom states that no escalation offer is shown when no human routing target exists.Vendor-reported
| Caveat documented PolyAI documents voice handoff via SIP REFER, SIP INVITE or SIP BYE with escalation context passed through custom X- SIP headers, a Handoff State API endpoint and a Conversations API transcript, plus chat handoff integrations for Salesforce, Zendesk, NICE CXone, Amazon Connect, Webex and Five9. 2 cited claims for human handoff on PolyAIPolyAI documents voice handoff via SIP REFER, SIP INVITE or SIP BYE with escalation context passed through custom X- SIP headers, a Handoff State API endpoint and a Conversations API transcript, plus chat handoff integrations for Salesforce, Zendesk, NICE CXone, Amazon Connect, Webex and Five9.Vendor-reported
PolyAI's handoff documentation states that with the default SIP REFER method "the utterance may not play before the transfer completes because the REFER fires at the same time as function execution", and that inbound SIP voicemail detection on the destination side is "not available by default" for SIP REFER, BYE or INVITE transfers.Vendor-reported
|
| Workflow evidenceSmall businesses Illustrative scenario A two-person support team wants to launch without a dedicated engineer. What to verify: Validate setup effort, existing help-desk support, required integrations, and ongoing maintenance. A small customer's story alone does not establish suitability for every small business. | Vendor-documented Illustrative scenario: a small team starts with common support questions and one monitored human inbox. Compare expected use and ongoing content maintenance with available staff. Programme eligibility and a product trial do not prove affordability or suitability for every small business. 1 cited claim for small businesses on FinFin publishes an early-stage startup programme with eligibility requirements. This establishes an offer for some small teams, not an exclusion of other small businesses.Vendor-reported
| Not established No supporting source is recorded here. Validate it with the vendor; absence of evidence does not establish a missing capability. |
| Workflow evidenceMid-market Illustrative scenario A growing support team needs separate queues and connected order and account systems. What to verify: Validate routing, permissions, integration ownership, and handling of each team's policies in the intended configuration. | Vendor-documented Illustrative scenario: a growing team keeps its help desk and adds one authenticated order lookup. Confirm connector coverage, ownership of failed actions, and routing before expanding. Team size alone is not evidence of a successful deployment. 1 cited claim for mid-market on FinFin is sold with Intercom or for use with an existing help desk; the deployment options do not impose a single published company-size category.Vendor-reported
| Not established No supporting source is recorded here. Validate it with the vendor; absence of evidence does not establish a missing capability. |
| Workflow evidenceEnterprise Illustrative scenario A multi-brand support organization needs controlled access across regional teams. What to verify: Validate data boundaries, audit records, escalation ownership, and the specific deployment requirements. A vendor's enterprise positioning is not proof of these controls. | Vendor-documented Illustrative scenario: several brands need different knowledge access and approval rules. Evaluate those boundaries and operational reporting in the planned workspace structure. An enterprise offering does not establish that all data-residency, retention, or approval requirements are met. 1 cited claim for enterprise on FinFin markets an enterprise offering with workspace permission controls, activity logs, deployment services, and integrations with existing help desks.Vendor-reported
| External report Gartner's cautions in the same analysis concern inflexible consumption-based pricing and an immature channel partner network. 3 cited claims for enterprise on PolyAIPolyAI positions itself as an enterprise-scale agentic dialog platform and markets to nine industries: consumer services, financial services, healthcare, hotels, insurance, restaurants, retail, telecom and utilities.Vendor-reported

|
| Industry evidenceRetail and e-commerce | Caveat documented Fin for Ecommerce is a documented product with a native Shopify connection, and the same vendor documentation states the ecommerce features are limited to the web Messenger. Read the capability and the channel limit together before assuming coverage of an email or social queue. 2 cited claims for retail and e-commerce on FinFin for Ecommerce documents a native Shopify connection for catalogue and order data, plus APIs and draft Procedures for post-purchase requests.Vendor-reported
Full ecommerce shopping features are documented for web Messenger. Mobile receives support-only responses; email, social, voice, and Slack are not currently supported for the ecommerce role. This limit does not describe every Fin service capability.Vendor-reported
