Pricing details and FAQ

Questions. Answered.

What is ChatBento?

ChatBento is an AI support chatbot for websites. You paste one script tag into your site and an AI agent appears in the corner. It is trained on your website, docs and FAQs, answers visitors 24/7, captures leads and hands the conversation to a human when needed.

How much does ChatBento cost?

ChatBento has a free plan with 50 AI messages a month, and three paid plans: Hobby at $8/month, Standard at $30/month and Pro at $100/month. Yearly billing gives you two months free.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The Free plan is free forever: 50 AI messages a month, one chatbot trained on up to 50 pages, lead capture and human handoff, with a small “Powered by ChatBento” link in the widget. Paid plans can be tried free for 7 days: a card is needed at checkout, and nothing is charged if you cancel before the trial ends.

How is ChatBento 80% cheaper than Chatbase?

Each ChatBento plan costs one fifth of the matching Chatbase plan. Chatbase lists Hobby at $40/month, Basic at $150/month and Business at $500/month (checked October 30, 2026). ChatBento charges $8, $30 and $100 for the same tiers.

Is ChatBento a good Chatbase alternative?

Yes, if you want an AI chatbot on your website that answers from your own content, collects leads and hands off to a human, at a lower price. Chatbase offers a wider set of integrations and automations, so if you depend on those, compare both before you switch.

How do I add ChatBento to my website?

Add your website URL, docs or FAQs so ChatBento can learn from them, pick your color, chatbot name, greeting and corner, then paste the single script tag before the closing </body> tag. It works on Framer, Webflow, WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace and plain HTML sites.

What does the chatbot learn from?

ChatBento trains on the pages of your website plus any docs and FAQs you add. It answers visitors from that content, so you control what it knows.

Can visitors talk to a real person?

Yes. When a visitor asks for a human, or the AI can't answer, ChatBento collects their contact details and hands the conversation to your team.

Can I customize how the widget looks?

Yes. You can set the accent color, the chatbot's name, the greeting message, suggested questions, and whether the widget sits in the bottom-left or bottom-right corner of your site.

What counts as a message?

One message is one AI reply sent to a visitor. Your plan's monthly message allowance resets at the start of each billing period.
