Chatbase is built around one idea: point it at your content and get a working agent you can publish anywhere. Even the $32 Hobby plan, billed yearly, connects to WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, Slack, Shopify and WordPress, and lets you pick advanced models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral and DeepSeek. Each agent can run AI Actions and Procedures, so it can do more than answer from documents. The Basic plan at $120 per month billed yearly is where it becomes a support platform, adding voice, telephony, a helpdesk inbox, API access and connectors for Zendesk, Salesforce, Intercom, HubSpot, Freshdesk and Zapier. Chatbase lists SOC 2 Type II, GDPR and HIPAA coverage. The trade-offs are cost and limits: there is no free plan, every tier includes a single agent, extra agents cost $25 per month, and white-labeling is a $99 monthly add-on.

Who it is for

Small teams that want a knowledge-trained support or sales bot live quickly, with a long list of help desk integrations.
