Looking for a Botpress alternative?

Botpress is a chatbot builder. Here is what it does and who it is for, in Botpress' own words, where GetFoxChat works differently, and when GetFoxChat is not the right pick.

How this page is made: each Botpress line is taken from Botpress' own public pages, with a link to the page and the date we checked it (2026-09-30). If we could not find it on Botpress' pages, we do not say it. We do not copy Botpress' prices; the pricing row links to their pricing page.

Where GetFoxChat is different

GetFoxChat is website chat. Its AI operator answers visitors from your own pages, and when the answer is something to click, it shows them where.

Called Foxy by default, renamable, never pretends to be human. The operator starts as Foxy with the Foxy avatar; rename it and change the avatar anytime. It never presents itself as a person: asked, it says it is an AI assistant.getfoxchat.com/features#brain
A person can take over. Visitors can press Talk to a person and the conversation is flagged in your inbox; if nobody is available, the visitor is asked for an email address. You take over in one click and hand back to the AI when you are done.getfoxchat.com/features#takeover

When GetFoxChat is not the right pick

Pick Botpress if you want to build AI agents that take actions and escalate by your own rules, on web, WhatsApp or voice, with or without its helpdesk. GetFoxChat is not the right pick if you need a ticketing helpdesk, WhatsApp or voice, or many separately built agents. Pick GetFoxChat if you want website chat whose AI operator answers from your own pages and shows visitors where to click, without building flows.
