- Visual, no-code chatbot flow builder
- Built-in code editor for custom logic and API calls inside a chat flow
- Broadcast and drip campaigns for re-engaging contacts
A genuine free tier before any payment is required
AI is positioned as developer scripting support, not open-ended conversation
Landbot
4.0$45/mo
vs ChatBot+0.4Free plan
No-code builder that turns static web forms into conversational, chat-style lead capture flows.
- No-code visual builder for conversational, chat-style lead capture flows
- Deploys as a website widget, WhatsApp bot, or standalone landing page
- Free sandbox plan covering 100 chats per month before paid tiers
Conversational-form format is a genuine, testable alternative to static lead-capture forms
Built primarily for lead capture and forms, not a fit for full customer-support chatbot use cases
Voiceflow
4.1$60/mo
vs ChatBot+0.5Free plan
Collaborative chatbot and voice-agent design tool used by teams to build, test, and ship conversational AI together.
- Visual, collaborative flow builder for designing chatbots and voice agents together
- Supports both text chatbot and voice-assistant projects from one workspace
- Built-in testing tools to validate conversation flows before deployment
Real multiplayer collaboration is a genuine differentiator versus single-developer chatbot tools
Per-editor pricing scales quickly for larger cross-functional teams
WotNot
3.9$79/mo
vs ChatBot+0.3Free plan

- Visual drag-and-drop chatbot builder with no-code setup
- Pre-built templates for healthcare, real estate, insurance, and e-commerce

Quickchat AI

vs ChatBot+0.1Free plan
Builds AI agents for support, sales, ecommerce and internal helpdesk, with the human handover treated as a first-class feature.
- Separate agents for support, sales, ecommerce and internal IT helpdesk
- Customer support: answers questions and escalates to a human

Use-case-specific agents rather than one generic bot to configure
Test escalation before answering quality - unrecognised gaps cause the damage
