A no-code builder for chat and voice agents across your website and Telegram — free forever if you bring your own AI key, with no credit markup on it.
The cheapest credible start in this job — free with your own key, $19 with credits included — with honest catches in its yearly-billing opacity and a narrower channel set.

Embage builds chat and voice agents for your website and Telegram without code, and lets you supply your own AI key on any plan so its credit meter never has to apply to you.
You want a website agent live today at the lowest possible cost — free with your own key, or $19/month with 1,000 credits included — and your customers reach you on your site or Telegram.
Your support lives on WhatsApp, email or social inboxes as first-class channels, or you need a published overage rate and transparent yearly pricing before you commit.
Workflows are built only from verified capabilities in our listing research — no vendor copy, nothing invented.
Starts A visitor asks a question in the website chat embed
You get An answered visitor without the owner opening a support tool
The most common solo support load — repeat questions — is absorbed
Starts A chat turns into an enquiry or a ticket
You get A structured record you can follow up, not chat text to re-read
Support conversations become pipeline and product signal automatically
Starts A customer prefers to talk rather than type
You get A voice conversation handled with the same knowledge as chat
One agent covers both habits instead of two tools
Starts A conversation exceeds the agent's confidence or a cap
You get You inherit a brief, not a raw transcript
Escalations cost minutes of reading, not the whole thread
The free plan needs no card; paid plans are free for 7 days.
No code: describe the agent, add your content, and semantic search handles retrieval.
Use the included monthly credits, or connect your own key so chat replies use zero Embage credits.
Add the website embed, connect Telegram if you use it, and wire Shopify, Gmail, Calendar or HubSpot actions where needed.
Time to first useful result: Same day — build an agent and embed it · no-code 5/5
Billed in monthly AI credits for chat (voice metered per session) alongside monthly caps for knowledgebase searches, datastore writes and integration calls. Every plan, including Free, can bring its own AI key, after which chat replies use no Embage credits. Paid plans are free for 7 days. Yearly billing is offered but the pricing page publishes no yearly discount or annual total — the same per-month figures display in both states (see price history).

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 forever | $0/mo | Custom / quoted | Included AI credits are one-time, not a monthly allowance · Your own provider's usage charges apply when you bring a key |
| StarterSolo pick | $19/month (7 days free first) | $19/mo | Custom / quoted | No overage or top-up price is published |
| Pro | $59/month (7 days free first) | $59/mo | Custom / quoted | No overage or top-up price is published |
| Enterprise | Custom — scoped with you | $null/mo | Custom / quoted | Sales-scoped pricing |
Credit burn on long chat conversations: chat is metered in AI credits rather than resolutions, and no top-up price is published, so a busy month pushes you to Pro or to bringing your own key — where the model bill becomes yours directly.
Price record · 2026-11-05: First listing check, 2026-11-05, on embage.com/pricing — read in a live rendered browser with BOTH toggles worked: Monthly/Yearly and USD/INR. USD figures: Free $0 forever, Starter $19/month, Pro $59/month, Enterprise custom. DISCLOSED INCONSISTENCY: selecting Yearly did not change the displayed per-month prices in either the page text or a screenshot of the cards, and the page publishes no discount percentage or annual total — it states only that yearly is billed once a year at the yearly product price at checkout, while the card subtext still reads per month. At the displayed rates a year calculates to $228 (Starter) / $708 (Pro); that arithmetic is ours, not a vendor quote, so this listing publishes the monthly figures only. INR in the yearly state read Starter 1,600/mo and Pro 5,000/mo in rupees. No overage or top-up price is published.

Embage is a no-code builder for customer-facing AI agents that answer, act and report back. One agent can live as a website chat embed, take browser voice conversations and answer on Telegram, all feeding one inbox, trained on a knowledge base with semantic search and extended with a datastore — structured records for leads, tickets and feedback the agent writes as it works — plus subagents and tool execution across a claimed catalogue of 360-plus integrations, with Shopify, Gmail, Google Calendar and HubSpot named. Every conversation is scored and summarised with next steps after it ends, and a human can take over live when the agent reaches its limit. The pricing idea is the interesting part for a solo founder: Embage sells monthly AI credits for chat (voice is metered per session), but on every plan including the free one you can bring your own model key — OpenRouter, Vercel AI Gateway or a supported provider — in which case chat replies use zero Embage credits and there is no markup on your own key. The catches: the channel set verified today is website, browser voice and Telegram rather than the full social suite, and the pricing page's Yearly toggle changes nothing visible — the same $19/$59 per-month figures show in both states, no discount or annual total is published, and the subtext still says per month in Yearly mode.
Solo Fit stays the public score: the qualitative roll-up of these four published inputs under the How We Rank method. The builder is fully no-code and the BYOK route makes the entry cost unusually clear; clarity is held back by the unpublished yearly figures and the missing overage rate.
The difference: Chatbase is the established embed-anywhere agent with published tier allowances; Embage undercuts it with a free BYOK route and adds voice and a datastore.
The difference: Tidio bundles a full helpdesk and live chat around its AI; Embage is only the agent builder — cheaper, but you bring your own inbox beyond its channels.
The difference: My AskAI works inside the helpdesk you already pay for at about $199/month; Embage starts free-standing at $0–$19 but covers a narrower channel set.
Nothing in Embage fees on the free-forever plan if you bring your own AI key — your provider's usage charges are then your only model cost. With Embage credits included, Starter is $19/month with 1,000 AI credits and Pro is $59/month with 3,800, checked on embage.com/pricing on 2026-11-05.
On every plan including Free, you can connect your own key from OpenRouter, Vercel AI Gateway or a supported provider. Chat replies then use zero Embage credits and the vendor states there is no markup on your own key; you pay your provider directly at its own rates.
A yearly toggle exists, but on the 2026-11-05 rendered check it changed nothing visible: the same $19 and $59 per-month figures displayed in both states, with no discount percentage or annual total published. We therefore list the monthly figures only and flag the yearly terms as unpublished.
The verified channels on the vendor's official pages are a website chat embed, browser voice and Telegram, all feeding one inbox. WhatsApp was not named among the verified channels on the pages checked, so do not buy it as a WhatsApp agent on this evidence.
