The math
Why BYOK saves money
You pay OpenAI directly at $0.001–0.003/conversation at current GPT-4o mini rates.
Yes. BYOKChat trains a chatbot on your website content and documents, embeds on your site with one script tag, and answers visitor questions 24/7 — the same core job as SiteGPT. BYOKChat starts at $19/month versus SiteGPT's $39/month and uses a bring-your-own-key model, so you pay zero AI markup.
SiteGPT includes AI API costs in their pricing and adds a margin. BYOKChat separates the two: you pay $19/month for the platform and you pay your AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) directly at their standard rates. For most small to medium sites, those API costs are $1–5/month. Total: $20–24/month versus SiteGPT's $39/month minimum.
Lead capture is the most notable addition. BYOKChat's chatbot collects visitor names and email addresses mid-conversation, surfacing qualified leads in your dashboard with the full conversation context. SiteGPT does not include lead capture. BYOKChat also provides an outbound webhook to route captured leads to your CRM or Zapier workflows.
