Botpress
Botpress suits teams that want a drag-and-drop builder, knowledge from their own website and files, and an HTTP Chat API. The free plan is capped at 100 conversations, and the first plan with 1,000 or more conversations is Team at $750 a month. Voice is listed only on the quote-only Enterprise plan.
Typebot
Typebot suits builders who want a visual canvas, a documented chat API and low entry prices. Starter at $39 a month covers 2,000 chats and removes branding. The catch: it has no built-in inbox or knowledge base, channels are limited to web and WhatsApp, and the code is source-available rather than open source.
Both products are scored by the same rules: how we score chatbot builders.
