Build and deploy AI agents with pay-as-you-grow pricing
Reviewed by the the30top research team · Last reviewed 2026-10-27
Overview
Botpress lets teams build AI agents with a visual studio and deploy them across web and messaging channels, with pricing that starts free at 100 conversations and moves to Plus at $150 a month billed annually. Pay-per-usage AI spend means costs follow actual use rather than seats. The free plan is small, the Team plan jumps to $750 a month, and advanced governance such as custom data retention and residency policies sits on higher tiers.
Our verdict
A practical builder with transparent tiers and a real free plan. Costs rise sharply between Plus and Team, so plan conversation volume early.
Best for
Teams building customer-facing agents who want published tiers and usage-based AI costs.
Avoid if
You need fully open-source self-hosting of the whole stack.
Pros
- Free plan to start
- AI spend billed by usage
- Clear published tiers
Cons

- Free plan is small
