A Chatling alternative that tells you what an answer costs
Credits that vary by model, so the number of answers you get is not the number on the page, and $35 a month to remove the branding.

Questions
Is this a drop-in replacement for Chatling?
Not in every respect, and it would be dishonest to say so. Value at volume on cheaper models: 35,000 credits for $295 is more than our Scale plan's allowance for less money, if their cheaper models suit you. What it replaces is the part that answers customers' questions from your own pages, at a flat price.
