$11/mo
Starting price
CustomGPT starts at $89/month for their Standard plan. Many small businesses need AI chat at a fraction of that cost
CustomGPT is an AI chatbot and nothing more. Businesses also need WhatsApp, forms, phone, and social channels alongside AI
CustomGPT requires uploading documents and fine-tuning responses. Some teams just want AI that works from their website
CustomGPT is built for businesses that need deep AI customization. You can train chatbots on documents, PDFs, and spreadsheets with full control over responses.
Their multi-model support lets you pick GPT-5, Claude, or other models based on your needs. The citation feature shows users exactly which source the AI used. This builds trust.
For companies that need to train AI on internal docs or large knowledge bases, CustomGPT's training pipeline is more advanced than simpler tools.
At $89/month for Standard (and $449/month for Premium), CustomGPT is priced for mid-market and enterprise. Small businesses that just want AI chat are paying for features they don't need.
CustomGPT is purely a chatbot. There are no WhatsApp buttons, no contact forms, no phone callbacks. For visitor engagement beyond Q&A, you need extra tools.
The setup involves uploading documents and testing responses. This takes more time than tools that auto-train on your website.
AI employee with 50+ channels that automates email, WhatsApp, and SMS.
GPT-powered chatbot trained on your business content and documents.

WhatsApp, forms, phone, social media, email, SMS. Boei is an AI employee that takes actions across all channels. CustomGPT only offers a chat widget and API
Boei's AI learns from your website, PDFs, and documents. No need to configure data sources manually
Contact forms, WhatsApp opt-ins, and callback requests. CustomGPT captures conversations, not structured leads
You need advanced AI training with custom models, full API access, and fine-tuning for complex use cases
You want an AI employee that automates email, WhatsApp, and SMS plus 50 channels from $11/mo, with auto-training and lead capture
You need CustomGPT's advanced AI for internal tools and Boei for visitor-facing website engagement
If you trained CustomGPT on your website content, Boei learns from the same content automatically. No manual migration needed
Replace CustomGPT's widget code with Boei's single-line embed. Both install as JavaScript snippets
Connect WhatsApp, phone, forms, and social channels in Boei. These are things CustomGPT didn't offer
