AI trained on your content
Fetchply
Crawled website pages, uploaded files, text, and Q&A
Chatbase
Website pages, documents, text, and Q&A pairs
We wanted something that could answer customer questions without adding more work for our team. Fetchply was easy to set up and started working with our Shopify store pretty quickly.
It’s a practical app for stores that want faster support and a better shopping experience.
Setup, control, channels, pricing, and privacy. Open a question or ask the live Fetchply assistant for more detail.
Fetchply gives every customer question the right path. Repeat questions can receive approved Instant Answers, predictable requests can follow Guided Flows, open questions can use your business knowledge, and complex conversations can reach your team.
Launch one assistant for approved answers, guided journeys, knowledge-based help, and human handoff—without forcing every request through AI.
Chatbase helped put content-trained chatbots on the map. Fetchply takes the same idea further for stores: verified order lookups, product recommendations, a shared inbox for handoff, and a lower starting price.
Free plan · 200 AI messages a month · No credit card
In short
Pick Fetchply if you run a store or want AI answers plus live human support in one plan from $7.99 a month. Pick Chatbase if you mainly want a website Q&A agent and value its wider choice of AI models and its larger integration ecosystem.
What is Chatbase?
Chatbase is one of the best-known AI agent builders. You train an agent on your website, documents, or knowledge base, then publish it as a website widget or connect channels like WhatsApp and Messenger. It supports multiple AI model providers and offers AI actions for connecting external systems.
