ClaraConverts vs Chatbase
Chatbase is a "chat with your docs" AI chatbot — upload PDFs, paste URLs, point it at a sitemap, and it answers from your knowledge base. ClaraConverts is built around a different job: convert website visitors into customers. Clara reads your site, captures leads, and on the Pro tier speaks her replies in the widget. Pick Chatbase if you need a knowledge-base Q&A bot. Pick Clara if you want to turn traffic into revenue.

Choose ClaraConverts when…
- Your goal is conversion, not knowledge-base Q&A. Clara is tuned to capture leads and book demos, not retrieve facts.
- You want voice in the widget — Chatbase is text-only.
- You don't want to maintain a document corpus. Clara reads your site automatically — usually enough for a sales conversation.
- You want lead capture included, not as a higher-tier add-on.
- You want to try Clara on your own site, free for 30 days, before paying anything.
Choose Chatbase when…
- Your bot's job is to answer detailed questions from a large knowledge base or product docs.
- You have a substantial document corpus you want to keep updated and queryable.
- You need fine-grained control over what the bot can and can't say (RAG with strict source-grounding).
- You want to deploy the same bot across many properties (Slack, web, API) from one trained model.
Frequently asked questions
Can Clara answer detailed product questions like Chatbase?
For most SMB sites, yes — Clara reads multiple pages of your site and infers what you sell. For heavy product docs (a 200-page manual, an API reference), Chatbase's document-grounded approach will outperform Clara's text-injection approach. They are different tools for different jobs.
Does ClaraConverts have RAG over my documents?
No, intentionally. Clara is a conversion agent — her job is to greet visitors, qualify intent, and capture leads, all anchored on what your site says you do. Adding RAG over a doc corpus is on the roadmap but not the current product.
Why does Chatbase need to "train" on my site?
Chatbase indexes your pages into a vector store so it can retrieve relevant chunks at query time. Clara skips that step — she reads your site at preview time and feeds the content directly to the model. Setup takes 10 seconds instead of an indexing job.
Can I migrate from Chatbase to ClaraConverts?
Yes — replace the Chatbase script tag with Clara's. There's no document migration because Clara doesn't use documents; she uses your homepage. If you have a corpus you actually need indexed, stay on Chatbase.
Does ClaraConverts have a free trial?
Yes. Try ClaraConverts free for 30 days, with every Pro feature (voice included) and no credit card. Enter your email and your website address and Clara learns your site and is ready to install. Nothing charges automatically: to keep Clara after the trial you choose a plan, and if you don't, she simply stops replying when it ends. You can also preview Clara on your own site for free, with no signup.
