The table below preserves each vendor’s scope and qualifiers. An unlisted feature is unverified here; it is not a claim that the feature is unavailable.
Before you decide
Botpress: Subscription plus conversation packs and AI usage beyond the included allowance. Plus packs cost $65 per 100 conversations; Team packs $50 per 100. Paid plans automatically add conversation packs and $10 AI credit grants near the limit. AI and human-assisted conversations both count; added packs recur until removed. 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 Botpress include websites; documents; knowledge bases; structured data; API tools. 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: Botpress: Separate AI spend can make costs less predictable; production quality depends on workflow design and model configuration. Chatbase: Credits, custom-domain, branding and advanced features can be add-ons; model total cost at volume.
