  • Available on web, Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android

Cons

  • Free tier has no AI credits and very limited features (only website chat widget)

  • Multi-channel messaging (WhatsApp, Instagram, SMS) requires at least the $95/mo Essentials plan
  • Enterprise plan requires contacting sales with no transparent pricing

Tidio

Pros

  • Lyro AI Agent achieves up to 67% resolution rate with a money-back guarantee if it doesn't reach 50%

  • No-code setup — add AI agent to your website in minutes without technical knowledge
