Pricing
FreemiumChatbase offers a Free plan at $0/month with limited model access, 50 message credits/month, and 1 member (agents are deleted after 14 days of inactivity). Hobby is $32/month billed annually ($384/year) and adds advanced models, 500 message credits/month, 2 members, integrations, basic analytics, and attachments. Standard is $120/month billed annually ($1,440/year) and adds 4,000 message credits/month, 3 members, helpdesk, voice, telephony, outbound campaigns, API access, personalization, auto-retrain, and advanced integrations like Stripe and Zendesk. Pro is $400/month billed annually ($4,800/year) and adds 15,000 message credits/month, 5 members, advanced analytics, source suggestions, and tickets-as-a-source. Enterprise is custom-priced ("Let's Talk") and adds higher limits, custom roles and permissions, SSO, white-labeling, audit logs, priority support, a dedicated CSM, SLAs, and HIPAA eligibility. Add-ons include auto-recharge credits ($40 per 1,000 credits), extra agents ($300/agent/year), and removal of "Powered by Chatbase" branding ($1,188/year).
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.
