2025 MARKET COMPARISON

AmsterCode vs. “AI chatbots on the market”

Most chatbot products are platforms: you buy access, then your team must configure, train, test, maintain, and keep the bot aligned with your business. AmsterCode is different: we deliver a disciplined assistant, trained for your business, deployed under your control, and maintained on our infrastructure.

Enterprise-grade detail: optional pre-intake flows stay stable across embeds and mobile (no cookie reliance) and deliver results directly by email — no CRM required.

Use the chat widget in the bottom-right corner. This is the same production engine we deploy to client websites. If you want to see how it behaves on different themes, test it on multiple pages across AmsterCode.com.

Note: many market tools price AI by “automated resolutions” or “per resolution” usage, which can scale with volume. We disclose your full setup scope and subscription terms clearly in writing before you decide.

The core difference
DONE-FOR-YOU

We train and configure the assistant for you

You do not buy a dashboard and then “figure it out.” We extract the real logic of your business (services, boundaries, price ranges, process, tone), structure the knowledge, and test the edge cases before deployment.

  • Clear instructions + structured knowledge layer built by us
  • Controlled behaviour: no improvisation, no guessing
  • Installed for you (or you paste one key if you prefer)
  • Optional pre-intake mode with deterministic state and direct email delivery
PLATFORM PRODUCTS

Most vendors sell software, not delivery

Many chatbots are sold as SaaS platforms: you subscribe, then your team must connect sources, tune prompts, manage knowledge, and keep the assistant aligned as your business changes.

  • ! Training effort stays on your team
  • ! Quality depends on how well you configure it
  • ! Costs can be usage-driven (often per “resolution”)
AGENCIES

Agencies vary wildly in quality

Some agencies ship a generic bot with light setup. Others build something good, but without a stable long-term maintenance model. The risk is a “launch and leave” bot that degrades over time.

  • ! Hard to compare scope across providers
  • ! Often no disciplined testing / guardrails
  • ! Ownership and maintenance can be unclear
Comparison table
Capability AmsterCode (delivery) Typical market tools (platforms)
Who does the training? We do it end-to-end: we structure knowledge, define boundaries, write assistant behaviour, and test it. ! Usually your team: you connect sources, tune the bot, fix weak answers, and keep it aligned as things change.
Pricing model risk Fixed setup proposal + clear monthly subscription. Everything is confirmed in writing before deployment. ! Commonly usage-based AI pricing (e.g., “per resolution / automated resolution”), which can rise with volume.
Examples: Intercom Fin is priced per resolution in their published materials; Zendesk AI Agents are described as priced by automated resolutions; many tools bundle AI as add-ons.
Behaviour control Strict anti-hallucination rules: if it does not know, it says so and escalates. ! Depends on configuration. Without tight guardrails, many bots drift into “confident guessing.”
Deployment One script key. We can install it for you or guide your developer in minutes. ! Typically needs platform setup, channel integrations, and ongoing admin work.
Brand quality Premium UI, consistent behaviour, and a controlled tone of voice designed for your business. ! Often looks like a generic “plugin bot” unless you invest time in styling and tuning.
Long-term maintenance Subscription includes monitoring and small updates so the assistant stays aligned. ! Your team owns maintenance (content changes, knowledge updates, broken flows).
Pre-intake stability Deterministic intake flow that does not rely on browser cookies — stable in embeds and on mobile. ! Often session/cookie-based. Intake or forms may break in embedded widgets or mobile browsers.
Lead delivery Structured intake results delivered directly by email. No CRM, no dashboard required. ! Typically requires platform dashboards, CRM integrations, or third-party tools.

Market references (public vendor materials): Intercom describes Fin pricing as “per resolution” in their published documentation/posts; Zendesk describes AI Agents pricing based on automated resolutions; and other providers publish AI agent add-ons and limits (for example, conversation-based limits on some plans).

What we deliver
TEXT ASSISTANT

Text-only AI Customer Service Assistant

A disciplined website assistant that answers real questions about your services, process and next steps — with boundaries. Designed to reduce repetitive support, qualify enquiries, and keep your team focused on higher-value work.

  • Built on a structured business knowledge layer (not a random PDF dump)
  • Safe fallback behaviour and escalation rules
  • Deployed as a floating widget on desktop, tablet, and mobile
VOICE + TEXT

Voice-enabled AI Receptionist (Text + Voice)

The same disciplined assistant plus a composed voice layer for visitors who prefer talking. Built for high-intent enquiries where voice can reduce friction. Voice is deployed with strict boundaries so it stays professional and controlled.

  • Voice and text share one knowledge layer for consistent answers
  • Designed to escalate complex questions to your team
  • Clear monthly voice subscription (specified in writing)
  • During intake, microphone is automatically disabled to prevent double flows
FAQ
Do you sell a dashboard where we train the bot ourselves?
No. We sell delivery and responsibility. You get a trained assistant and a clean deployment model. We maintain the engine and keep it aligned over time.
Why do many market bots fail in real business use?
Because they are often deployed without disciplined boundaries, without a structured knowledge layer, and without a testing phase on real user questions. The result is drift: confident answers that are not aligned with the business.
Will our website theme break the widget design?
Our production widgets are built to reduce theme interference. If a client has a highly aggressive CSS framework, we harden styling to prevent overrides. This is exactly why we ship a controlled product rather than asking clients to “fix CSS”.
How do market pricing models typically work in 2025?
Many vendors charge for AI agent usage (commonly described as “per resolution / automated resolution”) and/or sell AI as add-ons. We prefer clarity: your setup scope is fixed in writing, and your monthly subscription is specified clearly before you commit.
How do you prevent intake flows from breaking on mobile or embedded sites?
We do not rely on third-party cookies or fragile browser state. Our intake flow is deterministic and remains stable across domains, embeds, and mobile browsers. This is one of the most common failure points in market chatbot tools.
