Typebot: common questions
Who should use Typebot?
Typebot suits lead capture chat on a website, guided quote and booking forms and mixing scripted flows with AI answers.
When should you choose something else instead of Typebot?
AI steps need your own API keys for OpenAI, Anthropic or other providers. If that matters for your business, compare other options such as Tidio, Chatbase and Fin by Intercom.
Is Typebot free?
Typebot pricing: Free to self-host; hosted plans. Pricing changes often, so confirm current plans on the official repository or website before you buy.
Can a small business self-host Typebot?
Yes. Typebot is open source on GitHub, and its setup level is intermediate. You will need a computer or server to run it and someone to keep it updated and backed up, or you can use a hosted option if one is offered.
