SiteGPT is an established website chatbot with GPT-4.1 support, deep content ingestion (1,000 pages at Starter), and native connectors for Crisp, Intercom, and Zendesk. saavos is the Claude-native alternative: $19/mo with a forever-free tier and two bots at Starter. This page covers both honestly, including where SiteGPT wins.
| Plan | saavos | SiteGPT |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/mo — forever, no expiry, no card | None — 7-day trial only |
| Starter (entry paid) | $19/mo — 2 bots, 1,000 msgs/mo | $39/mo — 1 bot, 4,000 msgs/mo |
| Mid tier | $49/mo Pro — 5 bots, 3,500 msgs/mo | $79/mo Growth — 2 bots, 10,000 msgs/mo |
| Top tier | $199/mo Business — 25 bots, 15,000 msgs/mo | $259/mo Scale — 3 bots, 40,000 msgs/mo |
Three things worth calling out plainly: SiteGPT has no free plan — after the 7-day trial, it's $39/month or nothing. saavos's free tier doesn't expire. SiteGPT Starter is $20/month more expensive than saavos Starter, but it includes 4x the monthly messages (4,000 vs 1,000). For low-volume sites, saavos is cheaper. For higher-traffic sites, that message ceiling is the real comparison — see below.
| Feature | saavos | SiteGPT |
|---|---|---|
| Starting paid price | $19/mo Starter | $39/mo Starter |
| Free tier | Forever (50 msgs/mo, no expiry, no card) | None — 7-day trial, then $39/mo or nothing |
| Bot count at Starter | 2 bots | 1 bot (second bot requires Growth at $79/mo) |
| Messages at Starter | 1,000/mo | 4,000/mo |
| AI model | Claude Sonnet 4.6 (all paid plans) | GPT-4.1-mini or GPT-4.1 (switch anytime) |
| API access | Starter ($19/mo) | Growth+ ($79/mo) |
| Content ingestion at Starter | 10 sources/bot (URL, PDF, text) | 1,000 pages (where 1 page = 2,500 characters) |
| Auto content sync | Manual re-train (all plans) | Monthly (Growth), Weekly + Daily auto-scan (Scale) |
| Multi-language | English only (Q3 2026 roadmap) | 95+ languages |
| Native chat integrations | Webflow, Shopify, WordPress (embed-based) | Crisp, Intercom, Zendesk (native connectors) |
| Remove "Powered by" branding | Included on all paid plans | +$39/mo add-on |
| Compliance | GDPR posture documented; SOC 2 Type II on Q3 2026 roadmap | SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, HIPAA (listed) |
| Pricing model | Flat — no per-conversation charges | Flat — no per-conversation charges |
| Annual commitment required | No — $19/mo is $19/mo | Unclear — "Save 40%" claim on pricing page inconsistent with Starter math |
SiteGPT Starter includes 4,000 messages per month vs saavos's 1,000 — for $20 more. If your site handles more than 33 conversations per day on average, you'll hit saavos's Starter cap. At that volume, SiteGPT gives you 4x more headroom for the same tier. The math favors SiteGPT as traffic scales.
SiteGPT supports 95+ languages. saavos is English-only, with multi-language on the Q3 2026 roadmap. If your audience isn't English-primary — or you're deploying across multiple markets — saavos isn't ready for that yet. SiteGPT is.
SiteGPT Starter can process up to 1,000 pages of content (where one page is 2,500 characters of cleaned text). saavos Starter caps at 10 sources per bot. For a company with a deep Zendesk help center, a large Gitbook, or hundreds of PDFs, SiteGPT's ingestion ceiling is substantially higher at every tier.
SiteGPT has built-in connectors for all three platforms. saavos embeds on your website via a script tag and works with Webflow, Shopify, and WordPress — but it doesn't integrate natively into Crisp or Intercom. If your team lives in one of those tools, SiteGPT keeps the workflow unified.
SiteGPT's trial is 7 days. After that, you're either paying $39/month or your bot is gone. saavos's free tier is permanent: 50 conversations per month, no expiry, no credit card required. Build the bot, embed it, watch it in production — as long as you need, with no payment deadline.
If your site handles under 1,000 conversations per month, you're paying $20 more at SiteGPT for message headroom you won't use. At that volume, saavos is $19/month for the same job. Over a year, that's $240 back in your pocket.
saavos Starter ($19/mo) includes 2 bots. A second bot at SiteGPT requires upgrading to Growth ($79/mo). If you run two products, two sites, or want separate bots for support vs. sales, you hit that wall at SiteGPT on day one.
saavos's REST API is available on Starter ($19/mo). SiteGPT's API requires Growth ($79/mo). For a developer who wants to query the bot programmatically or build an integration, that's a $60/month difference for the same capability.
SiteGPT is GPT-4.1 only — the two models are GPT-4.1-mini and GPT-4.1. saavos runs Claude Sonnet 4.6 natively on every paid plan. If your use case benefits from Anthropic's model — or you just prefer not to depend on OpenAI — saavos is the straightforward path.
Switching takes about 15 minutes. SiteGPT trains on URLs; so does saavos. Point saavos at the same site SiteGPT is crawling, run the ingestion, and do a side-by-side test in two browser tabs before touching the embed tag on your production site. If you're still on SiteGPT's 7-day trial, run the comparison before the trial lapses — you'll have live output from both platforms to compare with no cost sunk on either side. There's no data-hostage risk: your source content lives on your own site, not inside SiteGPT.
No. SiteGPT does not offer a permanent free plan. It offers a 7-day free trial — after that, the cheapest option is Starter at $39/month. saavos's free tier is permanent: 50 messages per month, no expiry, no credit card required. If you're still evaluating, that difference matters.
Yes at the entry paid tier: saavos Starter is $19/month vs SiteGPT Starter at $39/month — $20/month less. The catch: SiteGPT Starter includes 4,000 messages per month vs saavos's 1,000. For low-volume sites (under 1,000 conversations per month), saavos is cheaper. For higher volume, SiteGPT's message ceiling changes the calculus — you're paying $20 more but getting 4x the headroom.
SiteGPT uses GPT-4.1-mini and GPT-4.1 — two OpenAI models you can switch between. saavos uses Claude Sonnet 4.6 on all paid plans (Claude Haiku 4.5 on the free tier). Neither platform supports the other's model family. If you specifically want Claude, saavos. If you want GPT-4.1, SiteGPT.
No. SiteGPT's API access is available on the Growth plan ($79/month) and above — not on Starter ($39/month). saavos includes a REST API on the Starter plan at $19/month. If you need to query the chatbot programmatically (embedding responses in your app, piping answers to a webhook, building a custom front-end), that's a $60/month gap for the same API capability. For non-technical setups using the widget only, the API tier doesn't matter.
SiteGPT Starter ($39/month) includes 1 chatbot. A second bot requires upgrading to SiteGPT Growth at $79/month — doubling the cost. saavos Starter ($19/month) includes 2 bots at the entry tier. A common two-bot setup: one trained on your support docs, one trained on your pricing and sales page, deployed on different site sections. With SiteGPT, that setup costs $79/month; with saavos, $19/month.
