Explore answers to the most common questions about pagergpt, from setup and automation to pricing, security, and integrations, all in one place.
CustomGPT improves knowledge ingestion but remains a basic solution for customer-facing AI use cases. Limited native features, heavier setup effort, and lack of built-in workflows or live handoff make it difficult to scale beyond simple Q&A as support volumes grow.
pagergpt uses advanced Agentic RAG with specialized sub-agents and guardrails, ensuring responses are grounded in verified knowledge and business rules. Chatbase often underutilizes uploaded content, while CustomGPT can struggle with consistency in complex queries.
While CustomGPT supports many agents at higher tiers, it lacks native automation, lead management, and live inbox capabilities. Teams often need additional tools or custom integrations, increasing operational overhead as usage scales.
pagergpt uses session-based pricing with unlimited messages per session, eliminating per-message caps and surprise overages. Chatbase and CustomGPT rely on message limits and higher-tier pricing, which can become expensive for high-volume customer interactions.
pagergpt includes a native Shared Live Chat Inbox that enables seamless AI-to-human handoff with full conversation context. Chatbase offers only partial handoff, and CustomGPT does not provide a dedicated live inbox experience.
pagergpt offers granular lead capture with custom fields, tags, user segments, multiple forms, and archives. Chatbase has very limited lead data controls, and CustomGPT does not treat lead management as a first-class capability.
Teams typically switch when they need higher accuracy and hallucination control, predictable pricing without message caps, built-in automation and analytics, and native human handoff with lead visibility. pagergpt addresses these needs without requiring heavy engineering or add-ons.
