Agentkit currently lists a $0 website chatbot plan with one chatbot, 50 visitor messages per month, 400 KB of processed-content storage per chatbot, ten website links and one team seat. The pricing page says no credit card is required. Those limits make it possible to build and test a real widget before paying, but a free subscription does not remove the work of preparing accurate answers or checking them after launch.
The first question is whether 50 visitor messages cover your intended use. An agent reply does not count as a second message. If a visitor asks three questions in one conversation, that conversation uses three messages. This is how Agentkit's usage documentation defines the unit; other vendors may count credits or conversations differently.
What the free plan includes
These are Agentkit's published limits checked against its pricing page on October 4, 2026. Check that page again before relying on a plan for ongoing support.
| Free-plan item | Published allowance | Why to check it |
|---|---|---|
| Visitor messages | 50 per month | Several questions from one visitor use several messages. |
| Chatbots and seats | One chatbot, one team seat | A second bot or teammate needs a different plan. |
| Processed-content storage | 400 KB per chatbot | Source files can consume the allowance after processing; check actual usage in the dashboard. |
| Website links | Ten | Choose the pages that answer the most common questions first. |
| Models | Five currently listed | Test your own questions in the model selector; model access can change. |
| Analytics | Included | Review usage and conversations instead of assuming every answer was useful. |
The free tier supports website, document, text and Q&A sources. Start with a small set of approved pages or exact Q&A pairs, then test what the chatbot says. The source guide explains which source type fits each kind of answer.
The free plan includes the website widget and basic actions. API access, integrations, scheduled source retraining and branding removal are paid-plan features. The current plan comparison shows which tier includes each one. A free bot therefore needs someone to notice when its source pages change and update the knowledge it uses.
Test whether 50 messages are enough
Copy this four-line estimate into a note before you sign up:
Expected conversations in a month: ____ Average visitor messages per conversation: ____ Estimated monthly messages: conversations × visitor messages = ____ Questions that must reach a person: ____
For example, ten conversations with four visitor messages each use 40 messages. Fifteen similar conversations use 60 and exceed the free allowance. These are illustrative inputs, not measured Agentkit customer behavior. Your visitors may ask one question or many. The message counter in your workspace sidebar provides a better estimate after a small real pilot.
Do not treat all website visitors as chat users. Estimate conversations from your own traffic and early usage, then leave room for tests, repeat questions and busy days. A support site that must answer throughout the month needs a plan for what visitors see when the allowance runs out. Agentkit's usage guide says the agent stops responding until the billing cycle resets or you upgrade; the visitor receives an unavailable message.
Run a small free-plan pilot
- Create a free account and one chatbot. The public quick start walks through the setup.
- Add a few approved sources that fit the storage and ten-link limits. Ask five questions whose answers you can verify against those sources. Include one question the sources cannot answer; the bot should not invent a policy.
- Copy the current embed code from your chatbot's dashboard and install it using the website deployment instructions. Open the live page on desktop and phone, ask a test question and confirm the answer appears. Use the generated code for your bot rather than copying a sample ID from an article.
- After visitors use it, check the sidebar's message count and review the conversations. Note wrong answers and missing sources. Estimate a full month from observed use before deciding whether the free limit works for you.
A successful test shows that the widget loads, answers the approved questions and gives a safe response when it lacks an answer. It does not prove that the bot can handle every future request or that a free plan will cover a busier month.
When paying makes sense
Upgrade for the requirement you actually hit. Agentkit's current monthly Hobby plan is $29.99 for 2,000 messages, one chatbot and one seat; it adds API access and integrations. Standard is $119.99 for 12,000 messages, two chatbots and three seats; it adds scheduled website-source retraining and branding removal. Pro is $399.99 for 40,000 messages, three chatbots and five seats. These are published monthly prices, not a quote for implementation work. Check current pricing for annual terms and any changes.
If you need a broader budget, the chatbot cost guide separates subscription fees from content preparation, integration and maintenance. The free plan is a sensible way to collect your own usage numbers before making that estimate.
Questions to settle before launch
Is the free plan a short trial? Agentkit lists it as a $0 monthly plan and says no credit card is required. Check the current pricing and account terms before relying on it for a long-running service.
Does the agent's reply use a second message? No. One visitor message uses one message from the allowance. A later visitor follow-up uses another.
What happens at the monthly limit? The agent cannot answer more visitor messages until the cycle resets or the workspace upgrades. Check the usage panel for the reset date and remaining allowance.
Can I remove the Agentkit badge on Free? No. The published plans include branding removal on Standard and Pro.
Start with a narrow question set and measure actual visitor messages. That tells you whether the $0 allowance fits your site and which paid feature, if any, you need next.
