Build an agent, pay by the conversation
Botpress is the developer end of the chatbot market: a visual builder over a real runtime, with your own code where the flow is not enough, and deployment to a site, WhatsApp or a Discord server. Pricing is a small platform fee plus conversation packs, so a bot nobody talks to costs almost nothing. It expects more of whoever sets it up than the tools sold to marketers do.
Our note
This is the most capable and the least friendly option in this category, and both halves are true. Pick it when the bot needs to reach into your own systems, and pick something else when the job is answering the same five questions on Instagram.
Only on this side
A support bot trained on pages you point it at
Chatling builds a chatbot from a site, a sitemap or a set of documents, and keeps it in step by re-reading those sources on a schedule. Setting one up is closer to filling in a form than to drawing a flow, which is the whole appeal for somebody who wants questions answered rather than a project. Conversations are the meter, and the free plan gives enough of them to see whether the answers hold up.
Our note
The auto-sync is the feature worth paying for, because the usual failure of a document-trained bot is that it answers from last year's page. Check the add-on prices before comparing headline rates, since a second chatbot and a second seat move the real number.
