Helply vs Chatbase:
Comparing AI support agents, pricing models, and features

Helply and Chatbase both use AI to automate support conversations. The difference is how each product is designed to operate in real support workflows, what capabilities are included by default, and how costs change as you add retraining, ticket sources, and higher volume.

About Chatbase

Chatbase is a platform-agnostic AI chatbot builder priced by message credits and plan tiers. It starts inexpensive, but core support capabilities like auto-retraining, ticket-based sources, and gap detection are locked behind higher plans.
