Get Chunky

Chunky is the no‑code chatbot builder we'd recommend to anyone who just wants to stop answering the same five questions every day. The setup is genuinely fast—upload a PDF or paste a URL, tweak the colors, copy the embed code, and you're live. The free tier (2 chatbots, 100 messages/month) is enough for a tiny side project or a low‑traffic landing page. If you're a freelancer or a solo founder, that's a win. Where Chunky falls short is scale and depth. The message caps get tight quickly: $9/month gives you 1,000 messages, $19 gets 2,500. For a busy support bot that's not a ton. There's no API, no multi‑channel (no Slack, no WhatsApp), and the analytics dashboard is basic. You won't get intent routing, handoff to human agents, or A/B testing. If your needs are more than 'answer FAQs from a PDF,' you'll outgrow it. Compared to a tool like Tidio, Chunky is simpler to set up but offers almost no workflow automation. Tidio lets you build drip campaigns, trigger emails, and integrate with e‑commerce platforms—Chunky doesn't. But Tidio's free tier is also more restrictive, and the paid plans start higher. For a micro‑business that just wants a chatbot on their site without overthinking it, Chunky is the better fit. The lack of recent news or changelog updates is a minor concern—it suggests the product may not be actively adding features. But for what it is, it works reliably. One caveat: the pricing page says the Growth plan includes only '2 chatbots' while Hacker gets '3'—that's odd and may be an error. Double‑check before upgrading if you need multiple bots. Bottom line: Chunky is focused, affordable, and easy. If your chatbot needs are simple and your budget is tiny, start here. If you need advanced features, look at Tidio, Intercom, or a custom GPT.
