Before you decide
Chatbase vs Yellow.ai: buying questions
How should I compare Chatbase and Yellow.ai pricing?
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. Yellow.ai: Custom Enterprise subscription with applicable usage and module charges. Free-plan allowances differ between the pricing page and billing documentation; confirm the included volume and chargeable-resolution definition before estimating cost. 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.
Can Chatbase and Yellow.ai use my existing knowledge?
The recorded sources for Chatbase include URLs; sitemaps; PDFs; documents; tickets. For Yellow.ai, they include knowledge bases; FAQs; CRM/ERP systems; documents; APIs. 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.
What should I test in a Chatbase vs Yellow.ai pilot?
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. Yellow.ai: Quote-only; validate language quality, channel coverage and implementation scope for the target region.
