When Chatsy might NOT be the right fit
We would rather help you find the right tool than sell you the wrong one.
- •You require on-premise or self-hosted deployment for regulated workloads. Chatsy is cloud-only.
- •You handle fewer than 20 support tickets per month. The ROI argument for AI automation is weak at very low volume.
- •You need traditional per-seat pricing for accounting predictability or to match your existing CRM/help-desk billing model. Our model scales by usage instead.
- •You need voice-first support (IVR, call centers, phone routing). Chatsy is text-first across chat, email, and ticketing.
- •Your support is highly regulated (HIPAA-only, FedRAMP, certain EU public-sector workloads). Talk to us about Enterprise; standard plans are not the right starting point.
Sticker prices set the floor; the harder question is which plan actually fits your traffic.

How much does an AI chatbot agent cost?
AI chatbot pricing spans a wide spectrum. Free tiers exist (Chatsy Free at $0/mo with 40 credits, Tidio Free, Tawk.to). Entry-level paid plans for small teams typically run $20 to $50 per month, mid-market platforms land in the $100 to $300 per month range, and enterprise tools with per-resolution fees and per-seat pricing routinely exceed $500 per month at modest volume. Chatsy plans are Free ($0), Hobby ($35/mo), Standard ($140/mo), and Pro ($475/mo): credits are consumed per AI response instead of per agent seat.
Is it worth paying for an AI chatbot?
It is usually worth paying once you are handling more than roughly 100 to 200 support tickets per month. Quick break-even check: if your loaded cost per human-handled ticket is around $5 to $7 {{VERIFY: average loaded support ticket cost benchmark}} and an AI deflects 30 to 40% of that volume, a $35 to $140 per month plan tends to pay for itself within the first month. Below that volume, the Free plan or a free competitor is usually the better starting point.
What's the cheapest AI chatbot?
Several platforms offer genuine free tiers: Chatsy Free ($0/mo, 1 agent, 40 credits, budget AI models only), Tidio Free (limited conversations and one operator seat), and Tawk.to (free live chat with a paid AI add-on). Among paid plans, Chatsy Hobby at $35/mo and Tidio Starter sit at the lower end of full-featured AI tiers. The cheapest plan is rarely the cheapest outcome: cap volume, model tier, and seat count tend to push real cost higher than the sticker price.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The Chatsy Free plan is $0/mo with 1 AI agent, 40 credits per month, and access to budget AI models (GPT-4o Mini, Claude 3 Haiku, Gemini Flash). No credit card required. Upgrade when your AI handles real customer conversations weekly.
Can I switch plans or cancel anytime?
Yes. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel any time from your dashboard. Changes take effect at the start of your next billing cycle and there are no cancellation fees.
What happens if I exceed my message limit?
You receive a notification as you approach your credit limit. If you go over, additional credits are billed at a per-credit rate or you can upgrade to a higher plan for better per-credit pricing. Conversations are not cut off mid-flow.
Do you offer discounts for annual billing?
Yes. Annual billing saves 15 to 17% across Hobby, Standard, and Pro. Enterprise pricing includes custom credit packages, volume rates, dedicated support, and SLAs: contact sales for a quote.
Can I enable modules later?
Yes. Knowledge Base and Mailbox modules can be toggled on or off at any time from settings on Hobby plans and above.
Do you offer refunds?
Yes, all paid plans include a 14-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked.
How do I cancel my AI chatbot subscription and get a refund?
For Chatsy, cancel any time from your dashboard under Billing: the subscription stops at the end of the current billing cycle and you keep access until then. New paid plans are covered by a 14-day money-back guarantee, so contact support within that window for a full refund. Other vendors vary widely: Intercom and Zendesk typically require written notice with annual contracts, Tidio and Tawk.to allow self-serve cancellation but generally do not refund partial months {{VERIFY: current Intercom, Zendesk, Tidio, and Tawk.to refund policies}}.
