Pricing
FreemiumBotpress offers four main tiers. Pay-as-you-go is free with no base subscription, including one collaborator seat, a monthly AI credit, and usage billed as AI Spend beyond that credit; it's best for prototypes and small tests. Plus starts at $89/month and adds live-agent handoff, white-labeling, and WhatsApp deployment. Team starts at $495/month and adds real-time collaborative editing, role-based access control, and workspace management, with roughly $1,000 worth of add-ons bundled in. Enterprise is custom-priced for large organizations, adding white-glove onboarding, a dedicated support manager, formal uptime SLAs, and custom workspace, message, and storage limits. Pay-as-you-go add-ons are also available a la carte (for example, extra table rows, incoming messages, or bots). As of a May 2026 pricing update, workspaces created after May 14, 2026 get unlimited bots and bundled AI Spend included on every paid plan; existing workspaces keep prior pricing. Additional storage can be added to Plus and Team plans for $40/month.
PaidTogether AI uses pay-as-you-go pricing across its products. Serverless inference is billed per model, priced per 1M tokens for text (e.g., MiniMax M3 at $0.30 input/$1.20 output, GLM-5.2 at $1.40 input/$4.40 output, gpt-oss-120B at $0.15 input/$0.60 output), per image for image generation (e.g., FLUX.1 [schnell] at $0.0027/image), per video for video models (e.g., ByteDance Seedance 2.5 at $0.115/video, Google Veo 3.0 at $1.60/video), and per audio minute or character for speech models. Dedicated Inference runs on single-tenant GPUs starting at $5.49/GPU/hour on-demand for NVIDIA HGX H100 and $8.99/hour for HGX B200, with reserved options available via sales. GPU Clusters offer on-demand rates from $3.99/hour (H100) to $8.19/hour (B200), with reserved pricing dropping as low as $3.19/hour for 181+ day H100 commitments. Sandbox compute costs $0.0446/vCPU/hour and $0.0149/GiB RAM/hour, with Code Interpreter sessions at $0.03 per 60-minute session. Fine-tuning is priced per 1M tokens processed, ranging from $0.48 (LoRA, up to 16B parameters) to $8.00 (full fine-tuning, 70-100B parameters) for standard models, with specialized model pricing (e.g., DeepSeek-R1, GLM-5) ranging $5-$40 per 1M tokens plus a minimum job charge. Managed Storage costs $0.16/GiB/month.

Summary
Build and deploy LLM-powered AI agents and chatbots with a visual studio and full code control
Full-stack AI cloud for inference, fine-tuning, and GPU clusters
Botpress Pros & Cons
Pros
- Visual Agent Studio makes it possible to build a working bot without writing code
- Autonomous Engine lets agents reason through multi-step tasks using natural-language instructions instead of rigid flows
- Deep customization available through custom JavaScript, APIs, and SDKs for developer teams
- Large integration hub and native support for channels like WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and Slack
- No markup on AI Spend, so teams pay LLM providers at cost
- Open-source roots and an active developer community with extensive documentation and templates
Cons
- Usage-based AI Spend on top of subscription fees makes total cost harder to predict than flat-rate competitors
- White-labeling and human handoff require at least the Plus plan
- Steeper learning curve for advanced customization compared to simpler no-code chatbot builders
- Team plan pricing is a significant jump for growing support operations
- Enterprise pricing requires contacting sales rather than transparent published rates
Together AI Pros & Cons
Pros
- OpenAI-compatible API makes migrating from closed-model providers straightforward
- Transparent per-model, pay-as-you-go pricing across 200+ open-source models
- Vertically integrated GPU cloud offers competitive on-demand and reserved rates
- Backed by deep systems research, including FlashAttention and other efficiency breakthroughs
- Full-stack coverage from inference to fine-tuning to raw GPU compute in one platform
- Proven at scale with customers like Cursor, Zoom, Quora, and ElevenLabs
Cons
- Pricing spans many separate model and product pages, making total cost estimation more complex than flat-rate competitors
- Dedicated GPU and reserved cluster pricing largely requires contacting sales rather than transparent self-serve rates
- Focus on open-source models means access to closed frontier models like GPT or Claude isn't the platform's core strength
- Fine-tuning costs vary significantly by model size and technique, requiring careful comparison before committing
- Provisioned throughput and PTU-based pricing has a learning curve for teams new to capacity-based billing
