Before you decide
Ada AI: Primarily per-conversation pricing, with a resolution-based option for enterprise deployments. Rates and commitments are negotiated; request channel, integration and rollout costs in the proposal. Chatbase: Subscription with monthly message-credit and member allowances. Standard adds voice, telephony, helpdesk and API access. Auto-recharge is $40 per 1,000 message credits; extra agents cost $25/month and branding removal $99/month. Model choice affects credit use. Ask both vendors to quote the same expected workload, required channels, and implementation scope. Include required subscriptions and usage charges before comparing the total; the listed starting prices alone may cover different work.
The recorded sources for Ada AI include help centers; web content; documents; policies; business systems. For Chatbase, they include URLs; sitemaps; PDFs; documents; tickets. Ask each vendor to demonstrate ingestion or live access for the exact system you use, with permissions and refresh behavior. A source missing from this directory is not proof that a vendor cannot support it.
Use the same sample of real support requests, approved knowledge, and escalation rules in both pilots. Can it cite or restrict answers to approved knowledge? What happens when the agent is uncertain? Which actions can it complete beyond answering? Record answer quality, completed tasks, human handoffs, and total cost in the buyer worksheet. Check these specific cautions before launch: Ada AI: Quote-only pricing and implementation work make small-volume comparisons difficult. Chatbase: Credits, custom-domain, branding and advanced features can be add-ons; model total cost at volume.
