Landbot vs Typebot (2026)
Both build conversational forms and lead-capture bots with a visual editor. Landbot is a hosted product with AI chats, human takeover and WhatsApp packages, priced in euros. Typebot gives far more chats per dollar ($39 for 2,000, $89 for 10,000) and can be self-hosted under its source-available license, but WhatsApp and custom domains start on Pro. Marketing teams that want it managed lean Landbot; technical teams and high volumes lean Typebot.
Prices and product status verified 3 November 2026. We build a competing product (Conferbot) - where it appears below, it is labeled.
Landbot and Typebot are both known for replacing static web forms with chat-style flows: a visitor answers one question at a time, the bot branches, and the answers land in a spreadsheet, a CRM or a webhook. Landbot is the older, hosted, marketing-team product. Typebot is the younger, developer-friendly one, with its source code public and a self-hosting option.

Over the limits: €0.05 per extra chat and €0.10 per extra AI chat on Starter and Professional, AI chat packs of 500 for €25, and extra seats at €25 a month. Human takeover is on every plan, and paid plans have a 14-day trial.
Typebot (3 November 2026, USD): Free with 200 chats a month for one user; Starter at $39 a month with 2,000 chats, 2 seats and branding removed, with extra chats at $10 per 500; Pro at $89 a month with 10,000 chats, 5 seats, WhatsApp, custom domains and deeper analytics; Enterprise on quote. Billing is monthly only, and when you reach 100% of your chats Typebot upgrades the limit automatically to the next tier after warning you at 80%.
At list price, Typebot includes four times Landbot's chats at the entry tier and four times at the mid tier. Landbot's price includes AI chats and human takeover that Typebot does not package the same way.
The bill at three volumes
400 lead-capture chats a month, branding removed
Landbot Starter: €32 annual / €40 monthly. Typebot Starter: $39. Close; Landbot includes 100 AI chats.
2,000 chats a month
Landbot Professional covers 2,500 chats: €80 annual / €100 monthly. Typebot Starter covers exactly 2,000: $39. Typebot is roughly half the price.
8,000 chats a month with WhatsApp
Landbot: Professional WA at €160 includes 2,500 chats, so 5,500 extra chats at €0.05 add €275, for about €435, or a Business quote. Typebot Pro: $89 covers 10,000 chats including WhatsApp. At volume, Typebot is several times cheaper on list price.
Self-hosting and the license
Typebot's code is public on GitHub and it publishes self-hosting guides with Docker. Its LICENSE file is the Functional Source License 1.1 with an Apache 2.0 future license (FSL-1.1-Apache-2.0): you can run it yourself, and each release becomes Apache 2.0 after the FSL period, but the license restricts offering it as a competing commercial service in the meantime. The README badge still says AGPLv3; the LICENSE file is what applies, so read it before building a business on a self-hosted copy.
Self-hosting removes the per-chat bill but adds your own server, upgrades, backups and security. For a team without someone to own that, the hosted plan is usually cheaper in practice.
Landbot is hosted only.

What each one is best at
Landbot fits marketing and growth teams who want a managed lead-capture and qualification bot on their site and on WhatsApp, with AI answers for open questions and a person able to step in. Its templates and support are aimed at people who will never open a code editor.
Typebot fits product and engineering teams who want chat-style forms embedded in their own product, styled exactly with CSS, wired to their own webhooks, and running at high volume for little money, or on their own infrastructure.
If you are replacing a web form, start with the conversion question rather than the tool: our guide to chatbots vs forms covers when a chat flow actually lifts completions and when it does not.
Switching between them
There is no import between the two. Moving means rebuilding the flow, re-creating variables and integrations, and swapping the embed. Export collected leads first. Because both are mostly used for forms and qualification flows, a typical bot rebuilds in a day; flows with many branches and integrations take longer.
When moving to Typebot's Starter plan, set an alert for the 80% warning: hitting 100% upgrades the plan automatically.
Where Conferbot fits (our product, labeled)
Conferbot is a no-code builder that does both jobs in one bot: structured flows for lead capture and bookings, and AI answers from your content through the AI knowledge base, with hand-off to a person in live chat on every plan. It runs on the website and on WhatsApp and other channels with no WhatsApp add-on fee, and there are 250+ templates including lead generation flows.
It is priced per conversation: Free includes 600 a month, then $19, $39 and $59 for 2,000, 5,000 and 10,000. Webhooks need a paid plan and native integrations such as Google Sheets and HubSpot need Pro. It is hosted only, so if self-hosting is a requirement, Typebot is the one to look at.
Decision guide by situation
