Typebot
An open-source builder for conversational forms and chatbots.
NOT REALLY
why this verdict
Keep paying — OpenAI has not replaced it
OpenAI's version overlaps, but does not finish the forms job, so this one still earns its $39/mo.
- A named launch, not a vibe named, unlinked
- Chat interfaces made conversational forms feel dated. OpenAI, February 1, 2025 — no announcement link recorded yet.
- How much of the job it covers not the job editorial call
- Parts of it. The job still needs the tool to get finished.
- Is there a free way to do it? yes
- 2 of 2 listed replacements have a usable free tier: Tally and Typeform.
- What the call is worth $468/yr
- $39/mo at the entry paid tier — $468 a year per seat.

The backstory
Typebot builds branching conversational flows you can self-host, which matters for teams collecting data they cannot send to a US SaaS. AI chat made free-form conversation cheap, but a form that must collect exactly six fields in a known order still needs deterministic logic.
