Chatbase reads your docs. AgenticCart reads your catalog.
Chatbase turns your documents into an AI support agent for any website. AgenticCart turns your product catalog into a shopping agent for your store. The difference is not the model, it is what the model can see.
Most of this page is detail. If you only read one part, read this one.
Answers from whatever documents were uploaded. If the price changed last week and the document did not, it answers with the old price - confidently.
Reads the synced catalog: the variant, its price and availability as of the last catalog sync, returned as a product card the shopper can act on.

Checked against Chatbase's own public pages in August 2026. Found something out of date? Tell us and we will fix it.
Chatbase meters on message credits, with paid add-ons for extra agents and credit top-ups. Checked August 2026 on their own pricing page. That model fits support, where volume is a cost to contain. It fits selling badly, because every extra question a shopper asks before buying is a question you paid for. AgenticCart charges a flat monthly price per plan.
Concretely: if a shopper asks six questions before buying, the 4,000 message credits on Chatbase's Standard plan work out at roughly 660 shoppers before you top up. That is a fine ceiling for support tickets and an uncomfortable one for a sales conversation, where more questions is the thing you wanted.
Chatbase is a general-purpose support agent and does not claim to be an ecommerce product. Its strength is knowledge that lives in documents, and deployment across Slack, WhatsApp and email, none of which AgenticCart does. If your problem is answering from a body of text rather than selling from a catalog, that is the tool for it.
AgenticCart needs a product catalog to sync. Without one, most of what it does has nothing to work with.
You can, and it will answer from that snapshot. The problem is the day after: prices change, products sell out, variants get added. A snapshot answers confidently with yesterday's truth, which is worse than not answering.
No. Connecting a store is self-serve and the catalog syncs on its own. There is nothing to train and nothing to re-upload.
Yes. Shipping, returns and store policies are part of what the agent knows, alongside the catalog.
The next catalog sync picks it up and the agent stops recommending it. Sync is something you run rather than something that happens per-change today, so keep it in mind around a big price or stock update.
Connect your store and the agent answers questions about your own products in the browser. Most people decide right there.
