Pricing
FreemiumFree: $0 for everyone, limited to 2 teams and 250 issues. Basic: $10 per user/month, billed yearly. Business: $16 per user/month, billed yearly. Enterprise: Custom pricing, annual billing only.
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.
