Chatbase

Chatbase is the no-code platform for building custom AI chatbots and AI agents trained on your knowledge base, designed for businesses that want to deploy ChatGPT-style assistants on their websites without engineering resources. Founded in 2023 during the early ChatGPT wave, Chatbase has grown rapidly into one of the most popular no-code AI agent builders with hundreds of thousands of agents created across customer service, lead generation, and internal knowledge use cases. Pricing follows a tiered subscription model: Free covers 50 message credits/month, 1 member, 400KB per AI agent (limited access to models, agents deleted after 14 days of inactivity). Hobby at $32/month ($384 annually) covers 500 message credits/month, 5 enabled AI Actions per agent, 10MB per agent, 2 members, integrations, basic analytics, and attachments. Standard at $120/month ($1,440 annually) covers 4,000 message credits, advanced features, and team collaboration. Pro at $400/month ($4,800 annually) covers high-volume use cases with extensive credits and advanced features. Enterprise tier is custom-priced for organizations needing SSO, advanced security, and dedicated support. Chatbase's differentiation versus Intercom Fin, Sierra, and Voiceflow is the no-code accessibility and rapid deployment: rather than requiring weeks of configuration and AI training, Chatbase users can upload knowledge documents (PDF, website URLs, Notion exports) and have a working AI agent within hours. This makes Chatbase particularly valuable for SMB and mid-market companies that need AI customer service quickly rather than enterprise-grade resolution accuracy that requires longer deployment investment. Chatbase AI capabilities include knowledge base-grounded responses, AI Actions (the agent can execute API calls, send emails, update CRMs), conversation analytics, custom branding, white-label deployment, and integration with major chat platforms (Slack, WhatsApp, Discord). The platform supports OpenAI GPT, Claude, and other major LLM providers. Chatbase operates under SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance.
