Ehsan's Growth Take
Typebot is what Typeform would be if it were open-source and built for developers. Self-hosted means unlimited conversations at zero marginal cost. For startups with engineering capacity, it eliminates the per-conversation pricing that makes tools like Landbot expensive at scale.
