Why switch from Botpress to Hyax
Save vs paid Botpress tiers
Botpress paid plans often start around $79/mo before you scale conversations. Hyax is $29/mo with AI agents grounded in your help content — plus the rest of your creator stack.
Helpdesk-aware AI, not a floating bot
Botpress builds standalone assistants. Hyax connects AI to your knowledge base and site so answers match what you actually publish and sell.
Same login as email and content
A bot tool does not run your newsletter or blog. Hyax keeps support AI, articles, email, and checkout in one product so context stays consistent.
