Both Bryka and Chatbase let you build an AI chatbot trained on your own website, docs, and uploaded files, then deploy it for support and lead capture. They even share identical sticker prices on several tiers. But the way each platform meters usage — and what happens to your agents over time — differs in ways that matter for real budgets. This page breaks it down honestly, using verified pricing from both providers.
Pricing breakdown
The headline monthly prices on the lower tiers are the same. The difference is in what those dollars buy and how usage is counted. All Chatbase figures below are verified as of 2026-07-09.
Bryka pricing
- Free — $0/mo. 1 agent, core features.
- Hobby — $40/mo. Flat rate, no message credits to track.
- Standard — $150/mo. Custom domains and team seats. A $15/mo add-on removes the "Powered by Bryka" badge on any paid plan.
- Pro — $500/mo. Full white-label branding, higher usage limits, priority support.
- Agency — $999/mo. Unlimited agents and seats, multi-client management.
Annual billing gives you 2+ months free on every Bryka plan. Actions (booking, tickets, API calls) and lead capture are included from the paid plans up.
Chatbase pricing
- Free — $0/mo. 50 message credits/mo, 1 agent — agent deleted after 14 days of inactivity.
- Hobby — $40/mo (~$32/mo billed annually). 500 message credits/mo.
- Standard — $150/mo (~$120/mo billed annually). 4,000 message credits/mo, 3 seats.
- Pro — $500/mo (~$400/mo billed annually). 15,000 message credits/mo, 5 seats.
- Enterprise — Custom pricing. White-labeling, SSO, HIPAA eligibility.
The credit question
The most important pricing distinction is the metering model. Chatbase uses message credits. Its Hobby plan includes 500 credits/mo, Standard 4,000, and Pro 15,000. That's fine if your usage is predictable, but there's a catch worth understanding: premium models (Claude Opus, Grok 4, GPT-5.2) can burn multiple credits per response, so heavy real-world usage can exhaust a plan faster than the sticker price implies. Chatbase's auto-recharge for extra credits costs $40 per 1,000 credits.
Bryka takes the opposite approach: its Hobby plan is a flat rate with no message credits to track. You don't have to forecast conversation volume or worry about which model a given answer routed to. For teams that dislike variable, hard-to-predict bills, this is the core reason to choose Bryka.
Add-ons that change the real total
Two line items are easy to miss when comparing sticker prices:
- Removing branding. On Chatbase, white-label branding removal costs $1,188/year extra and isn't included on any plan below Enterprise. On Bryka, a $15/mo add-on removes the "Powered by Bryka" badge on any paid plan, and full white-label branding is included from the Pro ($500/mo) plan up.
- Extra agents. On Chatbase, extra AI agents cost $300/year each on top of the base plan. On Bryka, the Agency plan ($999/mo) includes unlimited agents and seats for multi-client management — which is why agencies running many client bots should model both platforms carefully at scale.
Feature and capability differences
Where Chatbase is genuinely strong
Credit to Chatbase where it's due. It offers a very large model selection spanning the GPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok families, with per-model routing so you can send different queries to different models. It's a mature, widely-adopted product with a large integration marketplace, strong brand recognition, and extensive documentation and community content — which means answers to most setup questions already exist online. At Standard and above, it also provides granular usage analytics and admin controls. If model breadth and a deep integration ecosystem are your priority, Chatbase is a serious option.
Where Bryka differs
Bryka's design philosophy centers on predictability and retention rather than metering. Two concrete differences stand out:
- No credit tracking. Bryka's paid plans are flat-rate, so you're not managing a credit balance or bracing for overage recharges.
- Agents are never auto-deleted for inactivity — on any plan, including Free. This is a meaningful contrast: Chatbase's Free-plan agents are deleted after 14 days of inactivity. If you build a bot, pause a project, and come back a month later, Bryka's agent is still there.
On training sources, both platforms cover the essentials. Bryka trains on website URLs, docs, and uploaded files, and includes actions (booking, tickets, API calls) and lead capture from the paid plans up — the same support-and-lead-capture use cases these tools are built for.
Branding and white-label
Both platforms let you remove branding and go white-label, but the packaging differs. Bryka lets you strip the badge cheaply ($15/mo) on any paid plan and delivers full white-label at Pro. Chatbase reserves white-labeling for its custom-priced Enterprise tier (with branding removal otherwise costing $1,188/year). Agencies and resellers should weigh this carefully.
Enterprise and compliance
Here Chatbase has a clearly stated advantage: its Enterprise plan lists SSO and HIPAA eligibility. If you operate in a regulated environment or require single sign-on out of the box, that's a concrete reason to evaluate Chatbase's Enterprise offering directly.
Migration and switching notes
Because both tools train on the same fundamental sources — website URLs, documentation, and uploaded files — the practical work of switching is mostly re-pointing your content, not rebuilding it. A typical migration looks like this:
- Inventory your sources. List the URLs, docs, and files your current agent is trained on.
- Re-train on the new platform. Point Bryka at the same website URLs and re-upload the same files and docs.
- Rebuild actions and lead capture. Recreate any booking flows, ticket creation, or API calls, and set up lead capture forms.
- Test with real questions. Run your top support and sales questions through the new agent before switching your embed.
- Swap the embed / update DNS. Replace the widget snippet, and if you use a custom domain, update it (available on Bryka's Standard plan and up).
One migration-specific note: if you're leaving Chatbase's Free plan, don't count on a dormant agent still existing — Free-plan agents are deleted after 14 days of inactivity, so export or document your configuration before you pause.
Who should pick Bryka
- Teams that want predictable, flat-rate billing with no credits to forecast or top up.
- Businesses that build agents intermittently and want them to persist without inactivity deletion.
- Anyone who wants cheap branding removal ($15/mo) without jumping to a custom enterprise contract.
- Agencies managing many client bots who value unlimited agents and seats on one plan ($999/mo Agency).
Who should pick Chatbase
- Teams that need the widest model selection and per-model routing across GPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok.
- Organizations that rely on a large integration marketplace and extensive community documentation.
- Enterprises that require SSO or HIPAA eligibility (available on its custom Enterprise plan).
- Users with stable, predictable message volume who won't be surprised by credit consumption.
Both are capable platforms. The decision usually comes down to one question: do you value predictable flat-rate pricing and persistent agents (Bryka), or maximum model breadth and a mature ecosystem (Chatbase)?
