Tidio
Pros

- AI agent is trained only on your provided support content — requires well-maintained knowledge base for good results
Our Verdict
Both Freshdesk and Tidio are excellent choices with similar feature sets. Your decision should depend on your specific needs, pricing, and whether you need self-hosting capabilities.
