One flat price. No gotchas.
Most chatbot tools charge you by the message, the credit, or the size of your contact list, so your bill moves every month. LocalBizBot is one simple monthly price with unlimited conversations. You always know exactly what you will pay.
We built LocalBizBot for local service businesses, plumbers, locksmiths, HVAC, electricians, not enterprise marketing teams. That means fixed pricing: no per-chat fees, no per-message credits, no mid-month adjustments when a busy week sends more chats your way, and no bill that climbs as your contact list grows.

What variable pricing actually means for you
Chatbase
Plans run $32/mo (Hobby), $120/mo (Standard), and $400/mo (Pro), each with a fixed pool of message credits (500 / 4,000 / 15,000). Run out and you buy more at $40 per 1,000 credits. The catch: a single reply can burn 1 to 6 credits depending on the AI model, so your real capacity, and your cost, can swing up to 6x without you changing a thing. A busy month means a bigger bill.
Botsify
Botsify is usage-based, sold in message credits (for example, 30,000 credits a month where 1 credit = 1 message). Your capacity is capped by credits, and heavier months push you toward higher tiers. It is a capable general-purpose platform, but the meter is always running.
HubSpot
HubSpot free chatbot is rule-based only; the AI chatbot requires a Professional plan (Marketing Hub Professional starts around $800+/mo), charges roughly $0.50 to $1 per AI conversation, and, the big one for a growing business, the price climbs with your contact list, from about $15/mo at 1,000 contacts to over $1,200/mo at 25,000. It auto-bumps you to the next tier the moment you cross a threshold, and there are one-time onboarding fees of $3,000 to $7,000 on the higher plans. Powerful, but built for enterprise budgets.
Why fixed pricing matters for a local business
You already juggle enough. Your chatbot should not be one more bill that surprises you. With LocalBizBot you pick a plan, and that is what you pay, whether the bot answers 50 conversations this month or 5,000. No per-chat meter. No credit top-ups. No “you grew, so you owe more.” Just a 24/7 assistant that answers your customers and captures leads, for one predictable price.
