Best for chatbot-style forms you can self-host
Typebot builds conversational forms and chatbots, and its code is open source. The free plan is 200 chats a month with Typebot branding, and WhatsApp, custom domains and fuller analytics wait on the $89 Pro plan.
Who Typebot is for
- Fits if you want a form that talks like a chat on your site
- Works for developers who would rather host it themselves
Who Typebot is not for
- Tight if you stay free, with 200 chats a month and Typebot branding
- Pricey if you want annual billing, since only monthly is offered
- Watch out: a chat counts when a visitor starts a conversation, however few messages follow
- Watch out: WhatsApp, custom domains and in-depth analytics need the $89 Pro plan

Keep Typebot, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Typebot you would be making a builder that other people can use without writing code. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $468 a year. Typebot is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself.
What you could make
- Forms: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A builder that other people can use without writing code.
- The WhatsApp Business API, which Meta opens only through approved partners.
- A chatbot builder hooked into the messaging apps.
- It plugs into other products, OpenAI, Google Sheets and Google Analytics among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Typebot’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
