The CustomGPT alternative for GDPR-conscious teams
CustomGPT.ai is a mature RAG platform with a strong document pipeline (1,400+ file formats) and clean source citations. Entry costs $99/month though — with only 1,000 queries — and hosting is in the US.
Zeptix delivers the same core discipline — bots that answer exclusively from your knowledge, with citations — from €29/month with 5,000 credits, EU hosting, a DPA and a monetization system CustomGPT doesn't have.

Frequently asked questions about CustomGPT alternatives
Does Zeptix answer only from my content, like CustomGPT?
Yes. Zeptix bots are RAG-based and answer from your knowledge base with source citations. The persona controls tone and behavior — and with the web-search boost the bot can optionally research live if you explicitly enable it.
How many answers do I get on Zeptix for €29?
The Starter plan includes 5,000 credits per month. A standard answer costs a few credits; premium models like Claude or GPT-5-class cost more — credit costs per model are transparently shown in the dashboard. For comparison: CustomGPT Standard includes 1,000 queries for $99.
Can I switch from CustomGPT to Zeptix?
Yes — export your sources (documents, sitemaps, URLs) and upload them to Zeptix. The builder walks you through persona, branding and publishing in minutes. The 14-day trial lets you test both systems side by side.
