Hidden Costs Breakdown

1

AI token usage billed separately: All Botpress plans bill AI model token usage separately from the base subscription -- using GPT-4, Claude, or other LLMs via Botpress incurs additional per-token charges that can exceed the base plan cost for high-volume bots

2

Third-party channel costs: WhatsApp, SMS, and other premium channels charge separate per-message fees set by the channel providers (e.g., WhatsApp Business API ~$0.005-0.05 per message) -- these are not included in Botpress pricing

3

Team plan annual billing savings small: Annual billing on Team plan saves only $50/month ($445 annual vs $495 monthly), or ~10% -- smaller discount than many competitors who offer 20-25% annual savings

4

Enterprise starts at $2,000/month minimum: Enterprise plans typically start around $2,000/month based on 3-year contracts ($72,000 total commitment) -- not viable for small businesses or startups with <100K monthly conversations

5

Pay-as-you-go can exceed fixed plans: At $0.01 per message, PAYG costs $500 for 50,000 messages -- matching Team plan cost but without dedicated support, live agent handoff, or priority features that Team includes

6

Collaborator limits on lower tiers: Free includes only 1 collaborator and Team includes 3 collaborators -- additional collaborators require upgrading to Enterprise (custom pricing) or managing multiple accounts

Example: True Cost for 25 Users

License (25 × $0 × 12) $0/yr
Implementation (one-time) +$15,000–$50,000
Premium Support (20%) +$0/yr
Training (25 × $500) +$12,500
Admin (part-time) +$15,000–$25,000/yr
Year 1 Total $25,000–$60,000
That's 1.8–2.5× the advertised license price.
