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 buying
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. Freshdesk Freddy AI: Paid Freshdesk seats plus email AI Agent session packs. The 500 included sessions are a one-time allowance, not a monthly quota. Chat AI uses Freshdesk Omni with separate pricing. Optional Freddy Copilot costs $35/agent/month on Pro or Enterprise. 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 Chatbase include URLs; sitemaps; PDFs; documents; tickets. For Freshdesk Freddy AI, they include Freshdesk solutions; tickets; web content; customer context. 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: Chatbase: Credits, custom-domain, branding and advanced features can be add-ons; model total cost at volume. Freshdesk Freddy AI: AI features are plan/add-on dependent and session pricing differs from seat pricing.
