Comparison
WebSpeaker vs Chatbase
Chatbase made it easy to spin up a chatbot from your data. WebSpeaker is built for the next question: can your visitors trust the answers — and what happens when AI is not enough?
Every account starts on Free. Test answers from your own content side by side with your current bot before deciding.

Example: a grounded answer with a verifiable source — the core of an answer layer.
Two different tools
A chatbot builder and an answer layer solve different problems
Chatbase is a chatbot builder: connect data sources, get a conversational bot, embed it. WebSpeaker is an AI answer layer: it turns your website, docs, and help center into verifiable answers — with source citations, honest out-of-scope behavior, and a path to your team when AI is not enough.
Chatbase may be the better fit if…
You want the fastest generic chatbot across many data source types.
A conversational interface matters more to you than verifiable answers.
You want to design custom conversation flows yourself.
WebSpeaker is the better fit if…
Your visitors need answers they can verify against sources.
You want safe, honest behavior when your content has no answer.
You want AI handoff and live human support in the same widget.
You want a permanent Free plan and capacity-based pricing.

What makes WebSpeaker different
Five differences that matter in practice
Grounded answers with sources
Every answer comes from your indexed content and shows where it came from, so visitors can check it.
Conversation intelligence
The assistant recognizes pre-sale vs post-sale intent, remembers the conversation, and never asks twice.
AI handoff and live support
When AI is not enough, the assistant collects contact, topic, and time — and your team can take over live, including from a mobile app.
No page limits, permanent Free
Index your whole site on any plan. Free is a plan, not a trial; paid plans add capacity.
Review before go-live
Test real questions against your content and fix gaps before visitors ever see the widget.

FAQ
Chatbase comparison questions
Is WebSpeaker a Chatbase alternative?
Yes — for teams that need verifiable answers rather than just a chatbot. WebSpeaker is an answer layer: grounded answers with source citations, out-of-scope handling, AI handoff, and live support in one widget.
Do I need to migrate anything from Chatbase?
No. WebSpeaker indexes your public website, docs, and help center from scratch. You can run both side by side and compare answers before deciding.
How does WebSpeaker handle hallucinations?
Answers are generated only from your indexed content, questions outside it are declined or redirected, and you review answers before going live. No AI is perfect, so sources stay visible for verification.
Can visitors verify the answers?
Yes. Answers come with source citations linking to the pages they were based on.
Is the Free plan a trial?
No. Free is a permanent plan with usage limits. You upgrade inside the app only when you need more AI messages, projects, or seats.
