Source: https://customgpt.ai/pricing/ ## Key features - **Agents trained on your content:** Feed an agent websites, PDFs, Office files, YouTube videos and audio, or sync from a help center or knowledge base. The page lists more than 1,400 document formats. - **Citations and anti-hallucination controls:** Answers cite the sources they came from, and the vendor describes the agents as built to answer only from the content you supply. - **RAG API:** Agents can be called from your own code through a RAG API with an SDK, available from the Standard plan. - **Data connectors:** Connectors listed for Standard include sitemap, WordPress, Wix, YouTube, HubSpot and Zendesk knowledge bases, Confluence, Shopify, Google Drive and Notion. Auto-sync of several of them starts at Premium. - **Deployment to Slack and sites:** Agents can be deployed to Slack and embedded on a website. Premium removes the CustomGPT.ai branding. - **Multi-language answers:** The pricing page lists support for more than 90 languages on every plan. ## Good for - Teams that want a chatbot answering from existing docs and help-center articles - Developers who want a hosted retrieval API over their own content - Organizations that need citations and SOC 2 Type 2 on the vendor's side ## Worth knowing - There is no free plan; each plan starts with a 7-day trial. - Standard allows 1,000 queries a month and Premium 5,000. The pricing page does not say what happens beyond that. - White-labelling, website auto-sync and PII removal need Premium; the AI model selector, priority queries and SSO need Enterprise. - It answers questions from your content; it is not a ticketing inbox or live-chat tool for human agents. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 1.8 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. CustomGPT.ai builds chatbots that answer from your own content, from $89 a month for 1,000 queries. It is not a ticketing inbox or live-chat tool, and white-labelling needs the $449 plan. - **Value for money: D.** $89 a month billed annually for 1,000 queries and 3 team members, which is where the dearest tenth starts. - **Free plan and trial: D.** A 7-day trial on each plan, with no word on a card. No free plan. - **Features: C.** Answers with citations, a RAG API and connectors. It does the chatbot job but is no inbox or live chat, so a smaller job. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. Content to load and a widget to deploy. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, with Zendesk, HubSpot, Slack, Zapier, Shopify, WordPress, Confluence and Notion plus an API.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/customer-support ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace CustomGPT you would be making an AI model answering your customers from your own help articles. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 52 of the 66 other help desk and live chat tools grade higher. It costs $1,068 a year. - You could not: An AI model answering your customers from your own help articles. - You could not: A search engine with an AI model behind it. - You could not: A chatbot builder hooked into the messaging apps. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Zendesk, HubSpot and Slack among them, and has an API. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. ## Works with Zendesk, HubSpot, Slack, Zapier, Shopify, WordPress, Confluence, Notion **Tags:** AI support agent, Chatbots, AI features, Public API, AI search ## Alternatives - [Chatbase](https://toolgpa.com/tools/chatbase): Build AI support agents trained on your content, priced by credits.
