Was told I had to just click a review (bad, good or great) to get some bonus points, but then after clicking told I need to write a review on shopify. Bit misleading considering the app is good lol.

This has an expensive and complex price structure, involving paying for flows, then chats, then customer service. I paid for a plan and in 1 day I needed to upgrade again!! if you have any starter plans then you still cannot see crucial information. Just beware, if you want full functionality monthly for a half decent website you will probably land up paying $300 pm not $59 as advertised.
I've reached out via your website to help address some of the configuration issues. I'm sure we can make it work. Olek - Tidio

Inferior support made it difficult to go forward. I have a strong technical background and went through the setup and integrations fine on my own. I had a few questions that I did not see options for. For example "Is there a timeout period in the chat where the visitor asks the first question and doesnt get a response for a long enough period of time that they will be offered the ability create a ticket and be followed up on. Kate in support told me multiple times that it doesn't exist and you need to set your user as being AWAY which is obvious. But users dont always remember this and professional chat systems usually have a time out period and offer this option to the customer. After many "No, we don't have that" answers and me posing the question multiple different ways (15 minutes), she finally told me "yeah, we have that" and then kept forwarding me to the wrong page. My first day and few incidents like that. It was not worth the trouble and I uninstalled. It was a 15 minute waste to setup and make email and dns changes and 30 minutes of suffering with poor support and frustration and I got nowhere and she would not escalate the question. The company needs to hire more carefully, train more carefully and monitor the support reps. This one may have slipped throught the cracks, but I don't have time to play around. The reason that I did not give a 1 star, is that I believe that the product mihgt be good and offers the right features that I needed. But the app includes the whole package and without support becomes useless. Edited 06-16-25: I am editing this review, because of the company's ignorance in addressing the issues mentioned and trying to publicly deflect or discount their shortcomings. 1. What you are saying that I called a timeout included with a full explanation in the chat is EXACTLY what you are calling a FALLBACK FLOW. If you can not see this, then you too have an issue. 2. The screen shots and url which I showed are EXACTLY the same page yet had different options, perhaps due to a permissions issue or subscription level. 3. Then she asked me for a PUBLIC key, which is not something that we would share. If I have a key that she does not know about, then it is kept secret for a reason. In addition, if you believe what you have said is true, then she had no need to ever ask for a PUBLIC key. The bottom line is that I got inferior support which the company itself hired and trained and is not trying to publicly dilute or discount my review. You surely would have been more successful sending me a personal email and saying something like "We are really sorry about the shortfall that you had with support and we are going to use this information to help improve our support...and once we do, we will let you know and hope that you will consider trying us again". In that case, with that kind of sincerity, I would believe that the company genuinely cares and will take steps to improve and I probably would have removed my review and would possibly try it gain in the future if I didn't find an app that fit the bill in the meantime.
Hi Jeffrey, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your first interaction with our platform wasn’t a positive one. While we respect your perspective, we’d like to clarify a few key points in fairness to our team and especially to Kate, who was mentioned by name. Our platform does not currently offer an automatic timeout mechanism that changes the agent’s status based on inactivity -- that part is managed manually or via set operating hours. However, what we do offer is a fallback flow (Handle Missed Conversations) that can proactively respond to users when no agent joins the chat within a specified timeframe. This solution was presented during the conversation, and Kate not only never denied its existence but also provided step-by-step guidance on how to find it. We’ve also reviewed the conversation and the screenshots shared. The link was reiterated because the screenshot you sent didn’t match the section being discussed, which naturally led to some clarification. At no point did our agent intentionally mislead or withhold help; quite the opposite. She remained calm, consistent, and tried to assist despite increasing tension. Support is a core part of what we offer, and we take feedback seriously, but it’s equally important to set the record straight when a team member is unfairly characterised. We remain committed to providing helpful, accurate, and respectful support to all users. Since you barely got started, we’d be happy to welcome you back if you ever give Tidio another try.

It could be great but it's very buggy and it takes massive resources from your shop, immediately downgrading the LCP and INP shop performance (speed) once you install it and activate it, which will ruin the Google ranking considerably. When you try to integrate it you're met with a white blank screen and have to jump around to try and figure out what's going on. If your email for the store differs from the Shopify email, it appears to be unable to do a recognised integration and installation even if you've installed it, which becomes messy. Support never seem available, and they appear to use their own bots for support which is not helpful. Who has time to wait days one end to get a response when you're working on integrating it? By the time they get back to you (if they ever; I never got a response) you've moved on to something else that works.

The app seems incredibly promising but it's unclear in terms of how to scale it and use it - we have previously asked for an overview and the support agent missed our meetings twice and messaging execs or anyone was flatly ignored. Despite this we have gone with Tidio and while everything seems so incredibly promising. the only promise of support has been severely lacking
I'm sorry to hear you feel that way. Please be rest assured we're here to assist you and we will do our best to provide you with the needed support. We will update you to your email regarding your inquiry.

this app is confusing pricing is confusing it has three tier what shown on the UI you end up paying around $100 for chatbots which is ok if it actually look at your product and create knowledge it is not. even you are paying $100 you are still tied to total 100 message its very costly
Thank you for the review. Could you please reach out to us at [email protected]? We will do our best to clarify any doubts you may have about our pricing. Thank you!

The customer service if you want to call it was horrible and rude. Your Ai chatbot was never helpful in giving me the necessary answers. I had to redo my settings at least 2 times, and they were not sticking despite your chatbot telling me to hit the save button (duh). Nothing would refresh or update, not even my updated subscription. You are nickel and diming everyone for every single person that shows up on the website, making this WAY more expensive than it shows on the Shopify App page, which, to me, is a bait and switch. There are lots of gadgets, but can't even get the basics right. It's crazy how you could put time into this and then not deliver on the customer service and basic updating of subscription service and settings and then charge and arm and a leg.
Hi! I'm so sorry for the issues you encountered. It appears a simple configuration check -- such as checking your new settings in an incognito window -- might resolve the issue. I'll contact you directly to ensure this is fixed promptly. Olek - Tidio

1) The visitor screen on your website fails to display up-to-date data. Instead, it presents visitors from 12 days ago who are no longer active, providing an inaccurate snapshot of the website's current status. 2) Sorting the monitor list is not an option. 3) The tool does not allow you to track visitors who progress to the checkout stage. Considering these limitations, it may not justify its price.
Hi there! Sorry to see that you aren't satisfied with our tool. This is not the kind of experience we wish our customers to have. Would you kindly send us an email to [email protected] with the details of your Tidio account, so we can look into the issues in order to provide a resolution?

Stopped working after 2 years didn't bother to figure out why I just asked customer to a service to delete my account

Tidio requested that I review their plugin. The app barely works so my employee uses it in a browser tab. It works but could be a lot better.
Ah.. so sorry to hear that you have problems with our desktop app. I'm glad there are no problems with the browser version. I will reach out to you via email and try to troubleshoot the app problems. Olek - Tidio.

It is a great tool but the chatbot pricing is complete unreasonable Will update to 5 stars once the pricing has been fixed
Thank you for sharing your feedback. Our Customer Satisfaction Specialist has contacted you to learn more about your concerns with our pricing, we're really sorry!

I left 6 months ago because all the replies to mobiles were jumbled and went with shopify inbox. Now its gone i've had to come back but i have the same problem. No one can read my replies via mobile. Also I find alot of the replies go to peoples junk mail and they never see them. I think its better to reply in the app.
Thank you so much for the 5-stars! We always do our best to help our customers as soon as possible

A bit disappointed. I previously used the "Tawk.To" app, but I thought I would make the switch to Tidio because I enjoyed the design a lot better. But here's the problem, there is a big communication delay between Mobile and Desktop. I have to quit out of Tidio and restart the entire desktop application for the interface to mirror my mobile app properly.. Sometimes the problem is never solved when I restart both applications. Right now, the Tidio mobile app is telling me there are 7 people on my website - but the Tidio desktop app is telling me there are 9 people.. Guys, this is a pretty big deal. And because of this error, none of the analytics on the Tidio App should be trusted. I have to ask myself, am I missing chats? Who knows, because it's not reporting correctly. I have missed every single chat I have gotten so far since downloading the application. I never missed a single chat when using the "Tawk.To" application. Tidio never reports correctly since the day I downloaded it. And if you're wondering, Yes- both my mobile and desktop apps are synced under the same username. My previous chat application "Tawk.To" never had these problems, ever. Unfortunately, I hate to say it but I need an immediate refund. Not only is the app not syncing, but the analytics cannot be trusted due to software issues. Specs: Latest version (10.15.5) Mac OS Catalina on a perfectly functioning iMac Pro 2017. Latest version (13.5.1) iOS iPhone 11 MAX Thanks
Hi, thank you for reporting this issue and for your honesty. We're now working with our developers to fully understand what caused this issue. We'll keep in touch with you. Apologies for the problem. Oscar & Olek from Tidio.

We've stuck with the free version of Tidio, and I thought it was great at first, if you want to pay for the paid service. Over time, the app doesn't really work. For some reason my customers see me as online when I'm not which makes us look bad because no one is responding to their chats. Also, we were not getting email notifications for the chats. I downloaded the mobile app which doesn't work unless you have your phone open on the app, so you'll miss chats that way as well. Also, there seems to be a stuck conversation from months ago that I always have to close out every time I open Tidio. Their response was that it was a code issue they were working on, but we would just have to work around it. Over all, I wasn't very satisfied with it. It was good for like 2 weeks a long time ago, but now it's just kind of a mess. I would suggest if you were to get this app, maybe get the paid upgrade, or go with another chat app. Not sure if you were to pay for it if it would be much different. I did however like the customization options, which made the chat look great in terms of integrating with our site.

Components of this app is great. However, there has been a number of issues like automation deleting on it's own, and the automated emails hounded our customers. One customer told us they received 12+ emails a day! They couldn't resolve this issue. Too many problems.
