Tidio ‑ Live Chat & AI Chatbot

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.

It's not possible to bulk export chats. Tidio is not transparant. If webshops receive visitors on their website, the chat conversations should be managed by the customers of Tidio, in this case the webshop, which should be able to bulk export the chats. I found 20+ alternatives in the Shopify appstore already. Chatty seems to be the best alternative. Edit: Chatty doesn't have this feature standard implemented, but after asking, they replied to me within 1 minute that it's manually possible, because they put their customer on no 1. When I asked Tidio to do this, your employee told me that the chats & chat history belong to Tidio only, not the customers of Tidio (Shopify webshops in this case). Update 2025-07-18: Not necessary anymore to export chats, which seems surprisingly possible now. I will never work with TIDIO LLC anymore in the future. Update 2025-07-21: Since when is it available in the plus plan? Also your customer support employee didn't mention this. He clearly stated that it wouldn't be possible at all, because the chats belonged to Tidio, according to this Tidio employee. If Tidio employs such employees, I don't need to work with them, but that's my current opinion.

Our business is in the pet healthcare area. We want to leverage the benefits of AI without automating too much. I was struggling to find a help desk and live chat which was flexible enough to permit this. I downloaded and trialled at least 4 other alternatives and none of them could provide the flexible options that Tidio could. Its early days and we are still i our trial period but I think this platform is going to be a real asset to my business. we are a small team of 4 and as the business owner I am the only one with in depth knowledge however with the use of AI to 'suggest' not automate responses, it will enable my staff to start responding to many of the enquiries that we receive. Moreover the customer service available on this app is fantastic. The automated help desk is great but they quickly put you through to a live agent if required who responds quickly. I had to escalate a couple of issues that the live agent could not resolve and these issues are being worked on currently but I have every confidence that they will be sorted out. None of the other options that I looked at provided live support quite like it and that was one of the key deciding factors when making a decision. Thanks Tidio. You are doing a great job.

This has been a great service so far. It's cut down the time I spend with customer ordering communications back at least 50%.

Very good so far, pricing becomes a challenge once you scale AI conversations and flows but it's a great tool.

It's good - primarily because there are not a lot of better options out there yet, but definitely a lot of opportunity to be dethroned as AI agents become more advanced. A lot of nickel-and-diming with few quality filters in place to prevent you from feeling like they're not trying to push you into buying more credits/increasing to the next billing tier constantly. Looking forward to the second gen of agentic AI products that aren't heavily focused on token-based billing that basically charge you 500x on the API call cost from OpenAI. All for what is essentially a the same ChatGPT output I'd get if I messaged it directly, just in a nicer package. The real kicker for me was that they charge a laughable amount for removing their branding as a separate monthly fee.

Downloaded it. Said it already linked with shopify with the wrong email and wanted my password which at that point i hadnt even set up and when I went to chat, it wanted my email to get back to me, so I'm assuming a live chat app should have live app support!! Doesnt seem like something I want to have to support my customers

Application très complète et très performante, je ne suis pas déçu de l'utiliser ! La gestion automatique des discussions par IA fonctionne bien et la mise en place est très simple. De plus le support est sympa et aide en cas de problème.

Bad and incredibly expensive. It promotes itself by placing its rights, and if you want to remove them, you have to pay a lot. It is not suitable for everyone with an average or lower budget. I advise using cheaper alternatives.

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.

Works really well so far. Great support from Kate.

Not sure how this can be free, that's how powerful the tool is. Customer support great as well, strongly recommended.
