The AI chatbot for WordPress that costs you nothing
You have a WordPress site. Visitors arrive, ask questions, and leave. You can't answer everything — especially at night or on weekends. ChatCraft AI solves this: a free plugin that adds an intelligent AI chatbot to your site in minutes.
No code. No monthly fees. No conversation limits. Just a chatbot that works.
How it works
ChatCraft AI connects to the AI providers you already use — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Mistral, DeepSeek, and more. You configure your API key in the plugin, activate the chatbot, and you're done. Your site now has a conversational assistant that answers your visitors' questions.
The plugin learns from your content
Unlike generic chatbots that give vague answers, ChatCraft AI analyzes your WordPress content to provide precise, contextual responses. Your pages, articles, and FAQ — everything is used as a knowledge source.
If you have a PDF or technical support document, you can upload it directly to the plugin. The chatbot will use it to answer with precision.
What you get for free
ChatCraft AI's free plan isn't a trial. It's a complete product:
- One intelligent chatbot that understands your content and answers questions
- Three AI providers of your choice among the best — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, DeepSeek, Groq, OpenRouter
- Automatic lead capture — the chatbot collects name and email when the user clicks a link
- Customer satisfaction survey — each conversation ends with a 5-star rating
- Offline mode — configure a custom message for closing hours
- Your own API keys — you pay your provider directly, no markup
The Pro plan: for more power
When your site grows, the Pro plan ($49, one-time) unlocks everything:
- 11 AI providers connected simultaneously
- RAG flows — the chatbot searches your documents before answering
- Multilingual — the chatbot detects and responds in the visitor's language
- Customizable themes — six themes to match your visual identity
- Display rules and keywords — hide the chat on certain pages or trigger specific responses
- Business hours — show the chat only during your service hours
- Human handoff — redirect to a human when AI isn't enough
- A/B testing — test different welcome messages to optimize engagement
- Analytics and tokens — track conversation count and token usage
- Export/Import — move your configuration from one site to another
- Webhooks — send conversation data to your external tools
A lifetime deal for a tool that keeps improving
The Pro plan isn't a subscription. You pay $49 once, and you get access to all future updates. No renewal. No surprises. It's an investment that gets better over time.
Why WordPress site owners love ChatCraft AI
Installation in 3 clicks — activate the plugin, enter your API key, done. No complicated technical configuration.
Doesn't slow down your site — the chatbot loads asynchronously, with no impact on performance or your Lighthouse score.
A chatbot that looks like your brand — customize the name, avatar, colors, welcome message. The visitor doesn't see a generic tool — they see your assistant.
Private and secure conversations — exchanges stay between your site and your visitors. No data stored on third-party servers.
ChatCraft AI vs the competition
Most WordPress AI chatbot solutions share the same problems: expensive monthly subscriptions, conversation limits, or features locked behind paywalls. Here's how ChatCraft AI compares:
| Feature | ChatCraft AI | Tidio | Tidio AI | Jivochat |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Conversations | Unlimited | 100/mo | 50/mo | Plan-based |
| Pricing | Free + $49 pro | $29/mo | $39/mo | $25/mo |
| BYOK (Your API keys) | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ |
| RAG / Doc upload | ✓ (Pro) | ✗ | ✗ | ✓ (Enterprise) |
| Multilingual | ✓ (Pro) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
The difference is clear: with ChatCraft AI, you pay $49 once for a complete product, while competitors charge between $25 and $39 every month. And most importantly, you keep full control of your data and API keys.
