Chatbot UI vs Dante AI

Chatbot UI gives you a browser chat workspace where you can talk to more than 80 AI models from one login. The hosted app at chatbotui.com pairs a simple start-chat flow with the open source Chatbot UI project that lists 33.3k GitHub stars on its homepage badge.

Compared with single-model chat sites, Chatbot UI's pitch is model choice inside one interface rather than a custom bot builder or helpdesk widget. The marketing site points to the public GitHub repo for self-hosting and to a hosted demo for users who want the multi-model UI without running infrastructure.

Developers evaluating chat front ends, power users switching between providers, and teams testing model responses side by side are the natural audience. Takeoff AI is credited as the builder of the hosted experience on the current homepage.

Dante AI builds customer support chatbots that train on your website, PDFs, and help docs, then answer visitor questions from an embeddable widget. Paste a URL, upload files, or write Q&A pairs and the agent can go live in under 60 seconds with no code. Over 100,000 agents have been built on the platform, and the free tier lets you test before adding a script tag to your site.

Most chatbot builders charge per resolution or per conversation, which means costs climb when the bot works well. Dante uses flat monthly plans with no per-ticket fees, and paid tiers add lead capture, CRM sync, and human handover when the AI cannot finish a thread. White-label branding, custom domains, and SSO sit on higher plans for agencies and larger teams.

Support leads use Dante to deflect repeat questions about refunds, shipping, and passwords while keeping a live inbox for escalations. Starter at $40 per month fits side projects, Advanced at $120 adds weekly knowledge refreshes and lead capture, and Pro at $400 unlocks API access, daily auto-updates, and full white-label removal of Dante branding.
