06/26/2023, 12:43 PMBotpress is priced on user message volume, the first 1,000 monthly messages are free. So, depening on how many users you anticipate and how active they are, it can vary. We have a fun little pricing tool here https://botpress.com/pricing

06/26/2023, 2:38 PMas long as you're doing fewer than 1,000 messages per month, Botpress won't charge you anything. not sure about the messenger side, but I think they have a generous free tier, too
