Pricing & buying guides
The cheapest AI chatbots for a small business in 2026, and what "cheap" leaves out
The cheapest AI chatbot is not the one with the lowest number on the pricing page; it is the one whose low price still includes AI answers, enough conversations and the channel you actually use. This guide lists the cheapest published plans as of September 2026, shows what each leaves out, prices a 120-conversation month on each, and names the cases where cheap is a false economy.
