How we compared
We read ILA.CHAT’s prices and features from its pricing page (ila.chat/pricing) and home page on 2026-11-10. ILA.CHAT states that its prices exclude 10% VAT; the cost table shows both.
ILA.CHAT counts only messages sent by the chatbot, so its “AI message” is comparable to a Ravano “answer”. The ILA.CHAT per-answer figure is the monthly price divided by that plan’s monthly messages and assumes you use the whole cap.
We build Ravano and cannot be fully neutral, so every claim here can be checked. ILA.CHAT is a trademark of its owner and we are not affiliated with it.
Two pricing models
With a subscription (ILA.CHAT) you pay a fixed amount monthly and use up to the plan’s message cap. A quiet month costs the same, and exceeding the cap means moving to a bigger plan. Plans also raise the number of chatbots and the chat history period, not just messages.
With pay-per-answer (Ravano) you top up a wallet (minimum 100,000 Toman, about 150 answers) and pay only for real answers to customers. A quiet month is cheap and a busy month costs proportionally more, with no cap and no plan upgrade.
Cost at different volumes
Monthly cost in Toman at listed prices. For ILA.CHAT the cheapest plan that covers the volume is used. Ravano’s one-time widget purchase (1,490,000 Toman) is not in the table; it is not needed if you use only the API.
| Answers per month | Ravano | ILA.CHAT (excl. VAT) | ILA.CHAT (incl. 10% VAT) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 | 325,000 | 1,100,000 (Startup) | 1,210,000 |
| 1,000 | 650,000 | 1,100,000 (Startup) | 1,210,000 |
| 5,000 | 3,250,000 | 3,900,000 (Business) | 4,290,000 |
| 10,000 | 6,500,000 | 7,700,000 (Enterprise) | 8,470,000 |
Cost per answer at each plan’s full cap
- ILA.CHAT Startup: 1,100 Toman (1,100,000 ÷ 1,000 messages)
- ILA.CHAT Business: 780 Toman (3,900,000 ÷ 5,000 messages)
- ILA.CHAT Enterprise: 770 Toman (7,700,000 ÷ 10,000 messages)
- ILA.CHAT Enterprise Plus: 750 Toman (30,000,000 ÷ 40,000 messages)
- Ravano: 650 Toman at any volume
Where ILA.CHAT is ahead
- Ready-made channels: a WordPress and WooCommerce plugin, Telegram, Bale and Goftino. Ravano currently offers the widget and the API.
- A free plan that includes all features and gives 50 AI messages for a real trial.
- Plans that bundle several chatbots and 90 to 360 days of chat history; this matters if you run several sites.
- Trust badges and a longer track record; Ravano is newer.
Where Ravano fits better
- Quiet or seasonal months: with few messages you pay for just those, with no fixed bill.
- You want a predictable price per answer without moving between plans.
- A review step: you see and approve what the bot learned from your site and files before it answers, and each answer shows its source.
- A bilingual Persian and English site, and a simple API for developers (docs).
Which should I choose?
- You run WordPress and want a ready plugin, or a Telegram or Bale channel: look at ILA.CHAT.
- Your volume is irregular or low, you do not want a monthly subscription, or a widget and API are enough: try Ravano; building is free.
- Not sure: build both from the same content and ask ten real customer questions. The checklist for choosing a chatbot builder helps.

Frequently asked questions
Is ILA.CHAT free?
ILA.CHAT has a free plan: one chatbot and 50 AI messages given once, not renewed monthly. After that you need a paid plan.
Is Ravano cheaper than ILA.CHAT?
At the prices listed on 2026-11-10, a Ravano answer costs 650 Toman, while at the full cap of ILA.CHAT’s plans it works out to between 750 and 1,100 Toman (excluding VAT). The services do not offer the same features, and ILA.CHAT has more ready-made channels.
How much does VAT change the comparison?
ILA.CHAT states that 10% VAT is added to its prices; the table shows both cases. Ravano’s prices are the ones on its pricing page.
What do I do to move from ILA.CHAT to Ravano?
Nothing is transferred automatically. You add your website address or files to Ravano again, review and approve the information, and replace the widget or API call. Building and testing are free.
Which is better for a low message volume?
If you have fewer than about a thousand answers a month, pay-per-answer usually costs less because there is no fixed monthly fee. If you need a ready-made channel such as the WordPress plugin, that should weigh in your choice.
