Dialogflow and Botpress are often among the first chatbot builders considered by developers, and both have the same purpose at their core: to provide a platform to automate conversations.
But there are differences between these tools that make them more suitable for different audiences. Below, we’ll be comparing Dialogflow with Botpress and looking at some of the reasons so many developers prefer Botpress.

Botpress is a complete platform for developers building chatbot applications, available free and open-source or as a custom, enterprise offering. Our visual editor and managed NLU (Natural Language Understanding) engine make it easy to get started quickly.
Dialogflow also offers two different editions – CX and ES – that are intended for different audiences. Dialogflow ES can be used to create small and simple agents, while CX is suitable for larger or more complex bots.
There are various things that set Botpress and Dialogflow apart, but the defining distinctions are listed below.

With Botpress, you can start building in less than a minute. Think of it as a full-stack that encompasses everything you need to create chatbots, including a unique managed NLU engine, an integrated development and visual conversational design environment, flexible integrations, and extensive options for customization.
Our low-code Conversation Studio allows you to simply drag blocks to create your conversational experience and add custom Javascript when needed. It also has tools to test your chatbot and iterate quickly, with custom logic where required.
Dialogflow, on the other hand, comes packed with code templates and pre-made starter packs. These are useful for getting a feel for how chatbots work, but require customization before organizations can use them. Dialogflow CX has a Conversational Flow Editor that’s comparable to the Botpress Conversation Studio, but lacks a dedicated Q&A Editor.
