Last verified 2026-09-02. STALE marks a plan we have not re-checked at its source in over 30 days. Every plan above is marked — we flag rather than silently retain. manychat.com/pricing returned 403; March 2026 restructure confirmed via flowgent.ai and costbench.com. Four plans now: Free ($0/25 contacts), Essential ($14/250 contacts), Pro (from $29), Business ($69/7,500 contacts). An earlier version of this record listed Pro at $15 and a custom 'Elite' tier, both wrong: Pro starts at $29 and there is no published Elite plan. AI Step add-on $29/month on Pro+.

This standing as a plaque
ManyChat currently holds a platinum deskmark here — Rank 1 of 9 · AI Chatbot Builders. Anyone may show it. There is nothing to apply for, nothing to pay, and displaying it changes no score: the standing comes from the published algorithm, which never reads commission data. We never ask anyone to show it, and its link carries rel="nofollow".
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if ManyChat moves up or down a tier, the plaque on your own site says so at our next publish. Nothing is tracked beyond the ordinary web-server log that records any image request.
