Where Chatbase wins

Honest comparison
Verly vs Chatbase
GPT wrapper for website chat. Fast to start, shallow in production.
TL;DR
Chatbase is the fastest way to put a chatbot on your site. Verly is what you need when the bot has to answer on voice, on WhatsApp, and actually hand off to humans — not just say 'I don't know.'

What you gain by switching.
- A real platform, not a widget — voice, WhatsApp, and web in one.
- Shared inbox for your team — not just a chat log dump.
- Proper human handoff with transcript, intent, and suggested reply.
- RBAC, audit logs, and data residency for when you scale past one person.
- Pricing stays sane as you grow — no per-seat tax.

Stay with Chatbase if…

Choose Verly if you're building a real support operation — multiple channels, a team that collaborates, and customers who need human help when AI can't deliver.
