ReplyBuddy and BotHelp, point by point

Criterion	ReplyBuddy	BotHelp
Approach	The AI agent runs the conversation itself: stages and required fields instead of a flowchart	Visual funnel builder; the AI agent is part of the flow
AI pricing	Included in the plan, no API key of your own needed	Tokens: 150,000 per month on paid plans (25–300 dialogs by BotHelp's estimate), extra packs from 499 ₽
Knowledge base	Articles, Q&A and files; the base is searched before every reply	Website, linked documents, text and files (pdf, docx, xlsx and more)
Data collection	Stages, required fields and follow-ups when a customer goes quiet	The agent saves data to the subscriber card; logic lives in the builder
Handoff to a manager	The manager joins the same conversation and gets a summary and the handoff reason	A "pass the question" action in the builder; no operator summary found in the docs
Testing before launch	Sandbox: good answers are saved as test cases and re-run before launch	No saved test cases found in the docs
Channels	Telegram, Instagram, MAX, Avito	Telegram, VK, MAX, Instagram, Facebook, Viber; new WhatsApp connections are temporarily unavailable
CRM and integrations	Built-in contacts, tags and fields; your own systems via the Custom API skill. No ready-made amoCRM or Bitrix24 connectors	amoCRM, Bitrix24, GetCourse plugin, shared inbox
Price	Free start, paid plans from $9 per month	From 1,599 ₽ per month (PRO price grows with subscribers), 14 days free

FAQ

Do I need to move my bot out of BotHelp?

No. A Telegram bot works with only one service, so for a trial it's easier to create a new bot and point one campaign at it. Your BotHelp funnels and broadcasts stay as they are.

Does ReplyBuddy have broadcasts?

Yes, there are broadcasts to audience segments. But ReplyBuddy doesn't replace an auto-funnel builder: its job is inbound conversations.

How is AI billed?

In both services AI uses tokens. In ReplyBuddy they are included in the plan and you don't need your own OpenAI key. BotHelp paid plans include 150,000 tokens per month, with extra packs on top.
