Kyros vs. Chatbase
Kyros vs. Chatbase.
Both turn your content into an AI chatbot. Kyros goes further: EU hosting, a real-time video avatar, built-in moderation, a full audit log and transparent per-message pricing.
Kyros differentiators
Where Kyros is different.
EU hosting & GDPR
Hosted in the EU, GDPR-compliant, with a privacy panel inside the widget and a DPA on request.
Real-time video avatar
A talking avatar as its own channel — beyond a plain text widget.
Built-in moderation
Screens incoming messages for PII and harmful content before they reach the model or storage.
Full audit log
21 tracked action types — who changed what and when, transparently recorded.
Roles & permissions
Granular roles, reusable custom roles and per-member overrides.
Transparent credits
Per-message pricing; the exact credit cost is shown per model inside the app.
Side by side
The competitor column is deliberately neutral — details vary by Chatbase plan.

When Kyros is the better fit
- EU hosting and GDPR compliance are non-negotiable for you.
- You need governance: an audit log, granular roles and permissions.
- You want moderation and PII guardrails to act before messages reach the model.
- You want a video avatar channel alongside the text widget.
- You want transparent per-message pricing instead of opaque tiers.
To be fair
Chatbase is a popular, lightweight way to spin up a chatbot from your own content; for simple use cases that can be enough. Chatbase’s features and pricing vary by plan and change over time — verify them directly with Chatbase. This comparison deliberately highlights only Kyros’s verifiable strengths and makes no unverified claims about the competitor.
