The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Starter is $39 a month for 2 seats and 2,000 chats, above the $34 dearer-quarter mark for one person. Pro is $89 for 5 seats, about $18 a seat. |
| Free plan and trial | B | Personal is free with unlimited typebots, 200 chats a month, native integrations, webhooks and custom code, which one person could live on. |
| Features | C | Flow editor, embeds, analytics and custom code do the job. WhatsApp, custom domains and in-depth analytics need Pro. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You design each flow yourself, and self-hosting is a separate chore. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, with OpenAI, Google Sheets, Google Analytics, Zapier, Make, Pabbly Connect and WhatsApp. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
