Prices and facts checked November 11, 2026. Sources are linked at the bottom.
Chatbase lets you train an AI chatbot on your files and website and embed it. Its plans are built around monthly message credits, and each AI reply uses one or more credits depending on the model you pick. AI Leads Agent also answers from your own content, but it is organised around the sales outcome: a scored lead and a booked meeting.
Side by side
| AI Leads Agent | Chatbase | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free Starter plan. Growth $49/month, Scale $149/month, Agency $299/month. Flat monthly price. | Hobby $40/month ($32 billed annually) and Basic $150/month ($120 billed annually); Enterprise on request. Independent reviews put the allowances at 700 message credits on Hobby and 4,000 on Basic. Extra credits are $40 per 1,000. |
| What a credit buys | Growth: 1,500 AI chat replies a month; no per-model multiplier. | Per independent reviews, one reply uses 1 credit on the most economical models and more on capable ones, so a pool of credits buys fewer replies on stronger models. |
| Setup | Paste one line of code or share a hosted chat page. Most people are live in about ten minutes. | Upload files or crawl a site, then embed. Many integrations. |
| AI | Claude by Anthropic, answering only from the business details and FAQ you enter. | Choice of several models, billed in credits. |
| Qualifying and scoring | Your own qualifying questions, an intent score for every visitor, hot leads flagged. | Lead collection forms and actions; qualification scoring is not the core. |
| Meeting booking | Built-in booking calendar with reminders, reschedule and cancel links, Google and Outlook add-to-calendar. | Through integrations such as scheduling links. |
| Email follow-up | AI-written email sequences that stop on reply or booking, with unsubscribe link and postal address added for you. | Not built in. |
| Support desk features | Not included. | Basic adds 5 team members, advanced analytics and tickets as a content source. |
| White-label for agencies | Agency plan: client workspaces with your own logo and colors, "powered by" line removed. | White-labeling is listed for Enterprise. |
Chatbase fits if

AI Leads Agent fits if
Teams whose goal is booked meetings, who want scoring, a pipeline and follow-up emails included, and who prefer a flat allowance over credits.
Questions
What are Chatbase message credits?
Each AI reply draws credits from a monthly pool. The number of credits per reply depends on the model. Credits reset monthly and extra credits can be bought in blocks.
Did Chatbase rename its plans?
Its pricing page now lists Hobby, Basic and Enterprise, and older write-ups use the names Standard and Pro. Check the checkout terms for your own account before you compare.
Can I use both?
Yes. Some teams keep a support bot for existing customers and use a sales chat agent on marketing pages.
