The verdict

Fin wins, 8.5 to 6.1

Fin runs a full Intercom helpdesk with a shared inbox, help center and SLA policies on its top plan; Ada offers none of those and only hands off into your existing system. Fin bills its AI at $0.99 per resolution and, by default, fine-tunes on anonymized customer data unless you opt out. Ada never trains on your data unless you explicitly opt in. Both are HIPAA compliant and connect to Gorgias and Zendesk.

Pick Ada if you want data used only with your explicit sign off.

Pick Fin if you need a full helpdesk with SLA policies built in.
