Best WordPress chatbot plugins

We tested the main WordPress chatbot plugins on the same site with the same questions. Setup time, real cost, and how each behaves when it does not know.

How we picked

We make one of the plugins on this list, so read it with that in mind. Here is how we tried to keep it useful anyway.

Everything here was installed on a test WordPress site and asked the same set of questions. We looked at how long setup took, whether it needed a developer, what it costs at a realistic volume, how it behaves when it does not know something, and how much control you have over the way it looks.

Where another plugin is better than ours for a particular situation, we say so.

Our own WordPress page, for comparison

Quick comparison

A table across all the plugins: what it costs at a realistic volume, whether it needs a developer, how long setup took us, whether it trains on your site automatically, and what it does when it cannot answer.

Try it on your own website

Paste your website address and watch it build itself. It reads your pages, works out what your business does and drafts how it should speak — then you can ask it something about your own business and see what it says.

The eight plugins, one by one

The table above is the short version. The notes below are what we actually saw installing each plugin on the same WordPress site and asking the same questions: setup time, cost at a realistic volume, and what happens when it does not know.

We make one of the plugins on this list. Where another one is the better fit for a particular job — a shared inbox, a rules-only bot, a developer API — that is said in the note, not buried.

If you already know you want something that trains itself from the site and finishes conversations without a queue, start with our WordPress page and come back here to compare.

Which one should you pick

Short version, by situation:

  • Nobody on your side will answer chats: something that finishes conversations on its own
  • You have staff on live chat: a support platform with a shared inbox
  • You want no AI at all: the older rules-based free plugins still do this well
  • You are building something custom: a developer-first tool with a proper API
