ChatAgentLy vs Chatbase
Both put an AI agent on your site trained on your own content. The difference is how you are billed for it and what happens when a month goes badly.
What Chatbase is
A platform for building AI chatbots trained on your own documents and web pages, then embedding them on your site. It also offers voice agents on its higher tiers.
How it is priced: Subscription tiers plus message credits, where a credit is consumed per user message and per model response. Removing their branding and adding agents beyond the included count are priced separately. For current figures see their pricing page, since we will not repeat numbers that change.
Where Chatbase is the better choice
- Voice and telephony agents, which ChatAgentLy does not offer at all
- A longer list of third-party integrations, including CRM and helpdesk tools
- Multiple separate agents per account, useful if you run several distinct brands
Where ChatAgentLy differs
Your allowance stops, it does not overcharge you
When a month exceeds the question allowance, the agent stops answering new questions until it resets. Nothing is auto-billed, and there is no credit balance to top up mid-month. A busy month is capped, never a surprise invoice.
A citation on every answer
Every reply names the source it came from, so a reader can check it rather than take it on trust. This is not a setting, it is how answers are built.
Branding removal is part of a plan, not a separate purchase
Whether the widget carries our name is a property of the plan you are on, listed on the comparison page with everything else.
Works with no website at all
A shareable link and a downloadable QR code open the same agent full-page, so a restaurant can put it on a table card without owning a site.
Which to pick
Choose Chatbase if
You need voice or phone agents, or you need deep integration into an existing CRM or helpdesk.
Choose ChatAgentLy if
You want predictable billing with a hard ceiling, citations on every answer, and a setup that does not assume you have a developer.

Chatbase is a product of its own makers and this page is our reading of it, not theirs. We describe how their pricing is structured rather than quoting figures, because those change. Check their own site for anything you are deciding on.
