When CurbChat is the right choice
You run a trades or home service business — plumbing, HVAC, electrical, roofing, landscaping, contracting. You want a chatbot that reads your website, captures leads, and is done in under a minute. You don't want to format Q&A docs, upload PDFs, or tune prompts. You want $30 CAD flat, not tiered USD pricing. CurbChat is built for exactly this.
When Chatbase might make sense
Chatbase is a solid general-purpose AI chatbot builder. If you're a SaaS company with internal documentation, a technical product with PDFs and help articles, or a developer who wants fine control over training sources and prompts, Chatbase is a reasonable choice. For a service business website, it's more setup work and higher cost for features you don't need.
