Why switch from Botpress to Hyax
AI agents plus your whole stack
Botpress paid plans start around $79/mo for bots alone. The $99/mo Hyax Power plan includes AI agents grounded in your help content, plus your blog, email, courses, and checkout in one product.
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.
