The Omago alternative to Chatbase
Chatbase and Omago are close cousins: both build an AI agent from your business information and put it on your website and messaging channels. Chatbase prices by message credits, and a single AI reply uses 1 to 5 credits depending on the model; it has a broad integration list, including helpdesks, CRMs and phone. Omago has flat monthly plans with a published allowance, answers on your website, WhatsApp and Telegram, and books appointments, captures leads and hands over to your team in the chat. Pick Chatbase for integrations and voice; pick Omago for WhatsApp, Telegram and a simple bill for a small business.

Where Omago is the better fit
- You want one number to budget against. Each Omago plan has a flat price and a published monthly allowance (2,000 on Core, 8,000 on Plus). On Chatbase, how many replies a plan covers depends on the model you choose, because stronger models use up to 5 credits per message.
- Your customers are on WhatsApp or Telegram. Both are included from the Plus plan (US$99/month, 8,000 conversations). Telegram isn't in Chatbase's integration list.
- You want bookings, leads and handover built in. Omago books appointments in the chat, saves leads to your dashboard and hands over to your team with a notification when a person should step in.
- You serve customers in more than one language. Omago replies in the customer's language, including Cantonese, English and Mandarin.
Where Chatbase may be the better fit
- You need it inside your existing tools. Chatbase lists integrations with Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk, Gorgias, Salesforce, HubSpot, Shopify, Stripe and Zapier.
- You want Messenger, Instagram or Slack today. Chatbase connects to all three; Omago's Instagram and Messenger channels are coming soon.
- You want a voice agent on the phone. Chatbase's Standard plan includes voice and telephony, via Twilio or a SIP trunk; Omago doesn't offer phone calls.
- You're testing with low volume. Chatbase's Hobby plan is US$40 a month for 700 message credits.

Honest bottom line
Chatbase is a strong, general-purpose AI agent builder with a long integration list and voice. Omago is narrower and built for small businesses: conversation-based pricing, WhatsApp and Telegram, and bookings, leads and handover in the chat. If you're a support team inside Zendesk or Intercom, look at Chatbase. If you're a small business that wants WhatsApp and website enquiries answered on a predictable bill, look at Omago.

Do both work with WhatsApp?
