Who Tidio is best for

Tidio offers live chat with a free plan, priced by billable conversations, with the Lyro AI agent and Flows automation sold as add-ons. Its integrations lean towards SMB and e-commerce.

Where it gets heavy for a small firm

  • Plans are priced by billable conversations, and AI (Lyro) is a separate add-on.
  • Automations are built in a drag-and-drop Flows builder.
  • Lead scoring and a sales pipeline are not the centre of the product.

Questions

Why pay more than Tidio?

If you only need chat, Tidio is cheaper. Engage is for firms where a booked call is worth hundreds or thousands: it qualifies, scores, routes and books in one pipeline.

Is AI extra in Engage?

No. AI is included with no extra fees in every plan.

How does Tidio's pricing compare with Engage?

Tidio Starter is $24.17 a month billed annually ($29 billed monthly) for 100 billable conversations, and its Lyro AI add-on starts at $32.50 a month. Engage starts at $69 a month, AI included.

Is Engage a live chat tool?

No. Engage runs guided conversations that qualify visitors and book calls; it is not a live chat inbox. If you want agents chatting in real time, Tidio covers that.

Can I switch from Tidio to Engage?

Yes. Install the Engage script, let it build from your website, approve it, then remove the Tidio script when you're happy.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. The free trial starts the day Engage goes live on your website, not the day you sign up, and no card is required to start.
