Chatbase: Buy vs Skip (Client-Facing AI Agents)
If your agency needs to deploy customer-facing AI agents across chat, email, and voice without coding, Chatbase's no-code builder and multi-channel support make it a strong buy. However, if you require internal workflow automation or a reseller program, skip because Chatbase lacks those capabilities and its white-labeling is locked behind the $399/month Enterprise plan.
