# Typebot

Visual builder for conversational forms and chatbots you embed on a site or WhatsApp, self-hostable with every feature, under a Fair Source license that is source-available and not OSI-open.

The **cleanest open conversational-form builder** around, and the self-hosted build ships with the same 34+ blocks as the paid cloud, data on your own box. The honest catch: the license is **FSL, source-available not truly open**, so you can run and modify it but cannot host it for others, **SSO and granular access are Enterprise-only**, and self-hosting is real Docker and Postgres work.

## Project facts

- **License:** FSL-1.1-Apache-2.0 (Fair Source, converts to Apache 2.0 after 2 years)
- **Repo:** https://github.com/baptisteArno/typebot.io
- **Stars:** 10.3k
- **Language:** TypeScript

## What it does

- Visual drag-and-drop builder with 34+ blocks: text, image, video, and audio bubbles, plus inputs for text, email, phone, buttons, picture choice, date, file upload, and Stripe payments
- Logic and branching inside a flow: conditional paths, variables, URL redirects, inline JavaScript, and native A/B testing
- Embed anywhere with a lightweight native JS library (no iframe): container, popup, or chat bubble, plus WhatsApp and custom-domain publishing
- Integrations for webhooks and HTTP requests, OpenAI, Google Sheets, Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Zapier, Make.com, and Chatwoot
- Brand theming with fonts, colors, roundness, shadows, custom CSS, and reusable theme templates
- Real-time result collection with drop-off and completion analytics, CSV export, and a REST API for the rest

## What it can't do

- Be resold or offered as a hosted service to others; the FSL Competing Use clause blocks running Typebot as a commercial product that substitutes for Typebot Cloud
- Count as OSI-approved open source; it is source-available Fair Source until each version turns Apache 2.0 two years after release
- Give you SSO, SAML, and granular access rights on the free or self-host build; those sit in the Enterprise plan
- Install itself; self-hosting means running the builder and viewer apps against a PostgreSQL database, and the deploy docs trail the cloud pages
- Hand a conversation to a live human out of the box; there is no built-in agent inbox or ticketing, so Chatwoot or similar handles takeover
- Deliver deep analytics; you get completion and drop-off by block, not funnels, source segments, or reporting across A/B variants
