How Chatling bills

AI credits, priced by model

What you'll actually pay

The headline price is rarely the bill. Here's what Chatling adds on top, quoted from its pricing page, and a month priced out.

Worked example

1,000 AI replies, by model

1,000 AI replies a month (500 conversations, two replies each). Chatling charges credits per reply, and the number depends on the AI model.

Cheapest model listedhalf a credit per reply: 500 credits, within Starter's 1,750
$25
Largest model listed25 credits per reply: 25,000 credits, within Scale's 35,000
$295
Rangeper month, billed monthly
$25 to $295

The same plan stretches further or much less far depending on the model you pick. Removing “Powered by Chatling” is included on Scale, or a $35/month add-on.

The same volume on ChatBento (our product)

Hobby$8 a month

2,000 AI messages / month, AI answers included, no seats or per-resolution fees.

An illustration from Chatling's published prices, not a quote. Most examples use the same month: 500 conversations, about 2 AI replies each, 2 people on the team, and the AI resolving half the conversations. Sources: chatling.ai/pricing, chatling.ai/pricing.

On top of the plan price

  • Chatling charges AI credits per response, and the number depends on the model: from half a credit to 25 credits per reply on the examples its pricing page lists. Source

Is Chatling worth it?

Chatling is an AI chatbot builder, the same kind of tool as ChatBento, so the question is what its extra features are worth to you.

What the money buys

  • Live chat built in

    Chatling hands conversations to your team in a live chat inbox on every plan, with AI chat summaries and round-robin routing on Growth and up.

    chatling.ai/pricing

  • Messaging channels

    From Starter, the same agent answers on WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger and Telegram, and there's API access.

    chatling.ai/pricing

  • Actions and workflows

    Agents can run actions (2 to 12 per agent by plan) and multi-step workflows triggered by conversation or contact events, with integrations like Zapier, Slack, HubSpot and Zendesk.

    chatling.ai/pricing

  • More knowledge sources

    Besides websites and sitemaps, Chatling learns from PDF, DOCX and TXT files, FAQs, Notion, Zendesk and Zoho.

    docs.chatling.ai/knowledge-base/data-source-types

Worth it if

  • You want to take over chats live inside the same tool.
  • You need the bot on WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger or Telegram too.
  • You want the bot to run actions and workflows, or to pick a stronger AI model per reply.

Harder to justify if

  • You want one predictable bill, without the usage-based charges listed above.
  • You mainly need AI answers on your website, which ChatBento does from $8 a month.
