Pros and cons
Tidio
Pros
- Real free plan with 10 seats, so a whole small team can try it
- Pricing is per conversation volume, not per seat, which suits small teams with several part-time responders
- Lyro AI and Flows let you automate common questions without code
- Starter plan is cheap at $29/month (less on annual billing)
Cons
- Billable conversation caps (50 free, 100 on Starter) are easy to outgrow on a busy site
- Lyro AI and Flows volume beyond the small included amounts are paid add-ons
- Advanced analytics, permissions and auto-assignment need the Growth plan
