The AI business creator
WPMaven vs ChatGPT
ChatGPT gives you answers. WPMaven gives you a business: built in a minute, taking payments on your own account, and run every week by an AI team you approve from WhatsApp.
Free to build · $1 for your first week, one time only · No card to start
Why owners pick WPMaven
- A live business with a store or bookings that takes payments from day one.
- The week's work done without writing a single prompt: posts, videos, pages and emails.
- A Monday report on WhatsApp with what sold and what the team does next.
- Your site on open-source WordPress, so your content is portable and yours to export and take with you.
With ChatGPT, you still have to
- Write every prompt and set up every scheduled task yourself.
- Connect, configure and maintain your own payment processor; there is no built-in checkout.
- Post to your social accounts yourself, or through third-party tools.
- Be on Plus or Pro, outside the EEA, Switzerland and the UK, to publish a site with ChatGPT Sites.

| WPMaven | ChatGPT | |
|---|---|---|
| What you start with | One sentence. Your AI team builds the site, the pages, the words and real products or bookings, with prices and images. | A blank chat. You write the prompts and decide every step. |
| After launch | Your team runs it every week: posts, videos, pages and emails, planned from last week's numbers. | Scheduled tasks you write yourself: once or recurring, up to hourly on paid plans, with 5 active tasks on Plus and 15 on Pro. |
| Weekly report | Every Monday on WhatsApp: what sold, what worked, and what the team does next. | No built-in business report. You can schedule a recurring task and write the prompt for it. |
| Selling | A real store or booking flow, with checkout on your own WooPayments, Stripe or PayPal account. | No built-in checkout. A ChatGPT Sites page can sell through a third-party processor that you connect, configure and maintain yourself. |
| Approval before anything goes public | Nothing goes public until you approve it, with one tap on WhatsApp or in the dashboard. | It asks before consequential actions and before sending email or messages, but every task starts with your prompt. |
| What you pay | Free to build. $1 for your first full week, one time only. Then from $39 a month, billed monthly, or yearly with 2 months free. | Plus is $20 a month and Pro starts at $100 a month; new sign-ups to the $200 tier have been paused since 10 September 2026. Go is $8 a month in the US. Business starts at $25 per user a month. |
| What you are left with | Open-source WordPress, so your content is portable and yours to export. A site we host stays live for 14 days after you cancel, then comes down. | ChatGPT Sites pages are hosted by ChatGPT, in public beta, and not available in the EEA, Switzerland or the UK. Anything else you build, you host and maintain. |
Answers do not run a business
ChatGPT does what you ask, when you ask it. A business needs the opposite: work that happens every week, from the numbers, whether or not you remembered to ask. That is what your WPMaven team does, from the first sale to the Monday report.
Already pay for ChatGPT? Put it to work on your business
Keep it. WPMaven has an official connector: in your dashboard, open Settings, then Bring your own AI, and add the endpoint and a token to ChatGPT's developer-mode connectors. ChatGPT can then write and publish pages and posts on your WPMaven site, and it asks you to confirm each write before it goes through. Anything it publishes counts as an action on your plan, and drafts are free.
What you get with WPMaven
A team of AI operators with real jobs, from a Co-CEO who plans your week to a Content Writer, an SEO Specialist, a Social Media Manager and an E-commerce Manager. They build a real WordPress site, stock it with real products, connect payments on your own account, and keep working every week. Every Monday the report lands on WhatsApp with what happened and what comes next.
Nothing goes public until you approve it, and we take nothing from your sales. WPMaven is built by Yotako, the award-winning Luxembourg team behind Figma to WordPress, used by more than 100,000 designers.
Where WPMaven is going
WPMaven is a business creator, and it keeps growing. Today your team creates and runs any business that lives on the web: shops, bookings, courses, memberships, listings and donations. Next, the same team will build apps and custom software for businesses that need more than a website.
You stay in charge
Your AI team runs the week; you decide what the business is. Every post waits for your yes, every payment goes straight to your own account, and the site runs on open-source WordPress, so your content is portable and yours to take with you.
