Pricing reality

Tidio is $49, until the AI bill lands.

  • Starter starts around $24 and Growth around $49 a month on annual billing, each with a capped conversation quota
  • Lyro AI is a separate add-on, from $32.50 a month for 50 AI conversations, and it scales up with volume
  • Flows is another add-on, from $24.17 a month for 2,000 visitors reached
  • The next plan up, Plus, starts at $749 a month, a jump of more than 15 times with nothing in between

YourLio plans step smoothly from $49 to $499 with the AI sales agent included, not metered as a separate add-on.

Tidio answers chats. YourLio closes sales.

Tidio

Tidio positions Lyro to resolve up to 67% of support questions, a support metric. Product recommendation is a paid add-on, not the core design.

YourLio

YourLio is built to sell. It reads the catalog, recommends, offers a code, and closes, then carries the same memory into WhatsApp, Instagram, and email.

One quota, not three.

Tidio

Tidio asks you to track billable conversations, Lyro AI conversations, and flow triggers in parallel, and the AI agent is a separate add-on, not bundled into the standard plans.

YourLio

YourLio bills one number, AI conversations, with the agent included, so you always know what the next tier costs.
