The real unit economics

Cost calculator: what you pay at scale

Set your monthly conversation volume and team size. Botsonic buys a message allowance and a small seat count, then sells API access, helpdesk handoff and extra seats on top, while YourGPT is a flat plan with AI credits and seats included.

  • Seats are capped at 5 on Advanced; every extra team member is $25/mo.
  • API access is a $49/mo add-on below Advanced, and Zendesk/Freshdesk/Salesforce handoff is $199/mo.
  • The model you pick changes how fast messages are consumed, by up to 10× per reply.

Botsonic = the cheapest plan whose message allowance covers your volume, plus $25 per extra team member and add-on message packs at $25 per 2,000. One conversation is modelled at 4 messages, and the model you pick can burn messages up to 10 times faster. Excluded from the figure: the $49/mo API add-on and the $199/mo helpdesk-handoff add-on, so the real Botsonic bill is often higher than shown. YourGPT = the cheapest plan whose AI credits and seats cover your volume, topped up with $7 credit packs. One conversation is modelled at 5,000 AI credits, which assumes an efficient model. Same calculator and same numbers as the pricing tool.

Reasons teams move from Botsonic to YourGPT

Where a website answer bot reaches its limits, and how an agent platform takes support and sales and operations further.

API, webhooks and handoff in every plan

Botsonic's list price is the start of the quote. API access is a $49 a month add-on unless you are on Advanced or Enterprise, handoff into Zendesk, Freshdesk or Salesforce is a $199 a month add-on, and every extra team member is $25 a month on top of the 1, 2 or 5 seats your tier includes. YourGPT ships the API and webhooks on every plan, hands conversations to your team with full context, and adds seats at $7 a month.

API and webhooks on every plan

Programmatic access is part of the plan, not a line item you add later.

Handoff with full context

Escalate to your team with the whole conversation and customer context attached.

Voice included in the plan

The AI voice agent answers inbound calls and places outbound ones without a separate purchase.

Seats at $7, not $25

Plans include 3, 5 or 20 seats, and extra seats are $7 a month each.

Agent actions with no per-plan allowance

Botsonic does ship agentic actions, and they are metered by plan: 5 agentic actions on Professional, 5 workflows plus 10 agentic actions on Advanced. YourGPT's AI Studio is a builder rather than an allowance. Call your APIs visually, run custom code, branch through multi-step flows, and start agents from a product event or a schedule, with no per-plan action counter to plan around.

Built-in apps

Google Calendar, Sheets, Stripe, Freshdesk, Zoho and Brevo connect from AI Studio with no integration to build.

Call your APIs

Wire live data and backend actions visually from AI Studio.

Custom code and branching flows

Run your own code and multi-step logic for tasks a single reply cannot finish.

Event and schedule triggers

Agents can open a conversation on a product event or a set schedule, not only on an inbound message.

No per-plan action counter

The ceiling is what your systems can do, not what your tier allows.

Any leading model, without a usage multiplier

Botsonic's documented picker is OpenAI-family only, and the model you select changes how fast your message allowance drains: its docs rate one option at 1x consumption per reply, another at 2x, and a third at 10x. YourGPT runs GPT, Claude, Gemini and others on the same trained agent, switchable at any time, with fine-tuned models on Enterprise and credits priced per model before you commit.

Multiple providers

Switch any time

Fine-tuned models

Enterprise plans can connect a model you fine-tuned for your own domain.

Costs you can see first

Plans include 10M to 100M AI credits, with credits consumed and average cost per chat shown for every supported model.

Seats, voice and workflows on one platform

Botsonic starts at $19 a month for 1,000 messages, one bot and one seat, and for one person running one website bot that entry price is genuinely hard to beat. On YourGPT the first agent resolves up to 90% of repeated queries, and what comes next is already on the same platform: voice, workflows, more channels, a different model.

Quick start

Train one agent on your content and put it on your site the same day.

Add voice

Turn on inbound and outbound AI calls for reminders, follow-ups and qualification.

Add workflows

Omnichannel and voice from one agent

Botsonic's documented channels are the website embed, WhatsApp, Messenger, Telegram and Slack, with no Instagram, email, Discord or voice integration anywhere in its doc index. YourGPT trains once and answers on website chat, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Telegram, Slack, Discord and email, then adds an AI voice agent that takes inbound calls and places outbound ones, in over 100 languages, with live handoff on any channel. Channel lists from docs.botsonic.com.

Omnichannel Integration

Website, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Telegram, Slack, Discord and email from one trained agent.

Voice AI both ways

The agent answers inbound calls and places outbound ones, a channel Botsonic's docs do not cover.

100+ languages

Consistent answers in over 100 languages with no extra setup.

Live human handoff

Route a complex conversation to your team on any channel, with the full context attached.

Where each tool actually wins

Neither tool wins every category. Here is the honest read on which buyer each one fits, based on current pricing and capabilities.

Where Botsonic is the better choice

You need a helpdesk handoff into Zendesk, Freshdesk or Salesforce

Botsonic documents native support-handoff integrations with Zendesk, Freshdesk and Salesforce, sold as a $199 per month add-on. YourGPT reaches those tools through Zapier, Make.com, Pabbly or our API instead. If your escalation has to land as a ticket in one of those three systems out of the box, Botsonic gets you there with less plumbing. Figures from botsonic.com/pricing.

Your volume is genuinely tiny and the budget is the constraint

Botsonic's Starter plan is $19 per month, or $16 per month billed annually, for 1,000 messages, one chatbot and one seat. YourGPT starts at $59 per month, or $39 billed annually, and includes 3 seats and 10M AI credits. If one person is running one website bot at very low volume, Botsonic's entry price is lower. Figures from botsonic.com/pricing.

You already run on Writesonic

Botsonic is Writesonic's chatbot product. If your team already writes and publishes in Writesonic, keeping the bot inside the same account, billing and content library is a real advantage a standalone platform cannot match.

You want a website Q&A bot and nothing more

Point it at your site and docs, embed the widget, done. If the whole brief is deflecting documentation questions on a marketing site, the extra surface area of an agent platform is weight you are not using.

Where YourGPT fits better

You want conversations resolved, not just answered

A self-learning agent that reads your knowledge base, closes the repeat requests end to end, and escalates with full context only when a human is genuinely needed.

Automation depth beyond a per-plan action count

Botsonic meters agentic actions and workflows by tier. AI Studio gives you visual API calls, custom code execution, branching flows and event or schedule triggers, so the agent acts on your systems rather than only replying from your documents.

You want to choose the model

Botsonic's documented picker is OpenAI-family only, and the model you select changes how many messages each reply consumes. YourGPT runs GPT, Claude, Gemini and others, switchable at any time, with fine-tuned models available on Enterprise.

Sales and outbound, not only inbound support

One agent covers support and sales and operations. Voice AI takes inbound and outbound calls, proactive agents trigger on events or schedules, and lead qualification hands warm prospects to your sales team.

You are adding seats, not just messages

Botsonic includes 1, 2 and 5 team members by tier and charges $25 per extra member per month. YourGPT includes 3, 5 and 20 seats and charges $7 per extra seat. A team of ten costs very differently on the two platforms. Figures from botsonic.com/pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about switching from Botsonic to YourGPT and which platform fits your team.

Why should I choose YourGPT over Botsonic?

Both build no-code agents trained on your content, since Botsonic is Writesonic's AI chatbot builder. The split is what gets metered or sold separately. Botsonic counts agent actions by tier, charges $49 a month for API access below Advanced, $199 a month for helpdesk handoff, and $25 a month per extra team member. YourGPT includes API and webhooks, has no action counter, adds seats at $7 a month, and ships inbound and outbound voice with a switchable model.

What is the best Botsonic alternative?

YourGPT, if you want an agent that resolves up to 90% of repeated queries with no per-plan action counter. Annually it is $39, $79 or $349 a month for 3, 5 or 20 seats and 10 to 100 million AI credits. Botsonic is cheaper, from $19 monthly or $16 annually for 1,000 messages, 1 bot and 1 seat, though seats, actions, API access and helpdesk handoff each cost extra. Figures from botsonic.com/pricing and yourgpt.ai/pricing.

What is Botsonic?

Botsonic is the AI chatbot builder from Writesonic. You train an agent on your own content and deploy it as a web widget or into WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, Slack and Google Chat, in more than 50 languages. It supports agentic actions that call your APIs through AI Workflows, with the number of actions and workflows set by your plan tier, and it hands off to Zendesk, Freshdesk or Salesforce through a paid add-on.

How does Botsonic pricing compare to YourGPT?

Botsonic Starter is $19/mo, $16 annually, for 1,000 messages, 1 bot and 1 seat. Seats run 1, 2 or 5, extra members $25/mo, API access a $49/mo add-on below Advanced, and Zendesk, Freshdesk or Salesforce handoff $199/mo, Zapier included. YourGPT runs $59, $129 or $499 monthly, $39, $79 or $349 annually, with 3, 5 or 20 seats, 10, 30 or 100 million AI credits, extra seats $7, top-ups $7 per 2 million. From botsonic.com/pricing and yourgpt.ai/pricing.

Does Botsonic have a free plan?

No, and neither do we. Botsonic offers a 7-day free trial with no credit card, capped at 200 messages. YourGPT offers a 7-day free trial with no credit card and no message cap of that kind, so you can test with real traffic rather than rationing it. Paid plans start at $16 a month annually on Botsonic and $39 a month annually on YourGPT.

How many messages do I get, and why does the model change that?

On Botsonic your plan buys a message allowance, and the model you choose changes how fast you consume it, by up to ten times per reply. So a stronger model does not just cost more in the abstract, it shortens your month. YourGPT meters AI credits rather than messages, and the pricing page shows credits consumed and average cost per chat for every supported model before you commit, so you can price the trade rather than run into it.
