Where AgentForge wins

Here's where we genuinely outperform Botpress for agency use cases.

No devops required

AgentForge is a fully managed SaaS. You never update Docker images, patch Node versions, or manage infrastructure. Botpress's self-hosted option puts all of that on you.

Agency-first features out of the box

White-label, custom domains, a resellable marketplace, and sub-account management are native AgentForge features. Botpress's community edition has none of these, and the cloud offering charges enterprise rates for equivalent features.

Flat credit pricing

AgentForge uses a simple credit system — you know the cost per AI call upfront. Botpress's cloud pricing tiers can be opaque, with additional charges for messages, users, and advanced modules.

Where Botpress wins

We believe in honest comparisons. Here's where Botpress genuinely has an edge.

Botpress is open source — if you need full data sovereignty or a heavily customised deployment, self-hosting gives you complete control.

The Botpress developer community is large; there are hundreds of open-source integrations and community plugins.

Botpress supports local LLMs (Llama, Mistral) which is valuable for privacy-sensitive enterprise use cases.

Who should choose AgentForge?

Non-technical agencies and businesses who want a hosted, white-label AI agent platform without managing infrastructure or paying enterprise-level contracts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is AgentForge open source like Botpress?
No — AgentForge is a proprietary SaaS. The trade-off is that you get a fully managed, continuously updated platform without any self-hosting overhead.
Can AgentForge connect to local LLMs like Botpress can?
AgentForge currently supports Claude models (Haiku, Sonnet, Opus). Local LLM support is on the roadmap. If local model execution is critical today, Botpress self-hosted has an edge here.
How does AgentForge pricing compare to Botpress Cloud?
AgentForge starts at €25/mo (Starter). Botpress Cloud pricing has changed multiple times — we recommend checking their site. For agencies, AgentForge tends to be more predictable because you pay per credit, not per user or conversation.
Does AgentForge have a knowledge base / RAG feature like Botpress?
Yes. AgentForge includes a full knowledge base with document upload and RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) on all paid plans.
Can I white-label agents built on AgentForge and sell them to clients?
Yes — that's exactly what AgentForge is built for. You can deploy agents under your client's domain, with your client's branding, without any mention of AgentForge.
