Honest comparison · figures checked 24 July 2026
SiteGPT is a capable website chatbot with a clean own-data trial. The differences that matter are in the metering small print and what it does for people selling online — here’s the honest side-by-side.
| SiteGPT | Talk Shop | |
|---|---|---|
| Entry paid tier | $59/mo month-to-month, 1 chatbot ($39/mo only if you pay $468 up front for a year) | £49/mo month-to-month — 2,000 messages, 2 bots |
| The meter | Both sides count: your visitor’s question and the bot’s reply each burn a message — 4,000 messages ≈ 2,000 answers. On the bigger model it’s 10× (≈400 messages) | One answered question = one message. 2,000 means 2,000 |
| When you hit the limit | Extra messages are a +$59/mo add-on per 5,000 (what happens at a hard cap isn’t documented) | Your bot politely pauses and you decide — never an auto-charge |
| E-commerce | No commerce integrations — no Shopify, no order status (their integrations page) | Live Shopify order status in chat (Poltergeist), store tone and topics |
| Try it before signing up | A 7-day trial on your own data — after signing up; the instant demo only knows their site | Yes — paste your URL below, no account needed |
| Data residency | United States, with SCCs for EU/UK transfers (their privacy policy) | Hosted in the UK, GDPR-first |

We’ll be straight with you: SiteGPT doesn’t have many public reviews — G2 shows a high score from a small handful, and the notable complaints date back to 2023. We’re not going to pretend there’s a pattern of unhappy customers. The real differences are in the meter above.
“The cancel-subscription button didn’t work and neither did its support button — I was charged another month before the founder stepped in and refunded it.”
Paste your website URL and meet your own bot — trained on your real pages, before you sign up for anything. That’s the comparison that actually matters.
Month-to-month, yes at the entry: £49/mo versus $59/mo — but that’s not the interesting part. SiteGPT counts both sides of the conversation, so its 4,000 messages are roughly 2,000 answers, and using their bigger model burns 10× (≈400 messages). Our 2,000 messages are 2,000 answered questions, on whatever model it takes.
Yes — a 7-day trial on your own data, after you sign up, and there’s no free plan. Talk Shop shows you your own bot working before you create an account, and keeps a free plan (100 messages/month) after that.
Probably. SiteGPT lists no commerce integrations — no Shopify, no order lookups. Talk Shop is built for people who sell: your store’s tone and topics, lead capture with instant alerts, and live Shopify order status on the Poltergeist plan.
In the UK. SiteGPT’s privacy policy says data is stored in the United States, with EU/UK transfers covered by standard contractual clauses.
