Where YourGPT and Tidio pull apart

Both put a chat window on your site, but the job is different. Resolution depth, pricing that meters conversations, real actions, and voice are where the decision is actually made.

Resolves up to 90% of repeated queries, and climbs with integration

Lyro is a capable FAQ answerer for a small site. It replies from your support content and hands the rest to your team, and Tidio's own Premium tier guarantees a 50% Lyro resolution rate. YourGPT trains on your knowledge base, docs, and APIs, so it resolves up to 90% of repeated queries on its own, and the deeper you integrate it, the more it closes end to end.

Up to 90% on repeated queries

Common, recurring questions get resolved without a human in the loop.

Trained on your knowledge base

Ingests your help center, docs, and APIs, not just a Q&A layer over your site.

Complex issue handling

Multi-step reasoning and actions handle cases a single scripted reply cannot.

Model-agnostic engine

Runs on the best available model under the hood, so quality is never tied to one vendor.

Flat cost, not a bill that meters every conversation

Tidio bills by conversation twice over: every plan meters billable conversations, and Lyro AI is a separate quota from $32.50 a month for 50 AI conversations, about $0.65 each at entry. Above Growth, Plus starts at $300 a month plus monthly usage. YourGPT is one flat plan from $39 a month plus AI credits you can forecast, whatever your volume does.

No per-conversation meter

Your plan price does not change when more customers write in.

AI included from day one

The AI agent is part of every plan, not a separately billed quota.

Transparent AI credits

Usage runs on credits that vary by model, so spend stays predictable.

No usage-priced top tiers

Advanced is $349 a month flat, not a base fee plus monthly usage.

Built to act on your systems, not just answer

Lyro replies from your support content. YourGPT agents go further and take real action: creating tickets, updating orders, processing refunds. Chatbot Studio connects the agent to your stack with visual API calls, custom code, and multi-step flows, and with Copilot Builder you can embed an AI copilot inside your own app.

Where each tool actually wins

Neither tool wins every category, because they are not built for the same job. Here is the honest read on which buyer each one fits.

Where Tidio is the better choice

A polished live chat widget

Tidio's widget installs in minutes, looks good out of the box, and is well reviewed by small teams. If the job is your people answering chats personally, with AI only assisting at the edges, Tidio's core product is exactly that.

Storefront chat for small ecommerce

Tidio is built with ecommerce storefronts in mind, with a popular Shopify app and visitor tracking on the site. For a small store that mostly fields pre-sales questions in live chat, it is a focused, low-friction fit.

Very small support volume

Tidio's free plan covers 50 billable conversations a month with 10 seats, plus 50 one-time Lyro AI conversations. If your volume genuinely fits inside that, Tidio costs nothing while YourGPT's cheapest plan is $39 a month billed annually.

You are already running Tidio flows

If your team lives in Tidio's inbox and your automations are built in its Flows builder, staying put avoids a rebuild, especially if AI resolution is not the immediate priority.

Where YourGPT fits better

An agent that resolves, not just replies

This is the core difference. YourGPT trains on your help center, docs, and APIs and resolves up to 90% of repeated queries end to end. Lyro answers FAQ-style questions from your support content, and Tidio's own Premium tier guarantees a 50% Lyro resolution rate.

A bill that does not meter conversations

Tidio charges by billable conversations on every plan and sells Lyro as a separate quota, so a busy month raises the bill twice. YourGPT's flat plan plus AI credits ties cost to a price you set in advance, not to how many customers wrote in.

Real actions across your systems

YourGPT agents take real action: creating tickets, updating orders, processing refunds. Chatbot Studio gives you visual API calls, custom code, and multi-step workflows, and MCP support connects the agent to external tools.

Omnichannel and voice from one agent

Train once and deploy across web, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Telegram, and Slack, in 100+ languages, with Voice AI for phone and a live handoff to your team when a conversation needs a human.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about choosing between Tidio and YourGPT, Lyro's pricing, and where each one fits.

What is the main difference between Tidio and YourGPT?

Tidio is a live chat platform first. Lyro, its AI agent, is an add-on metered by conversation quota, and human chat stays the core workflow. YourGPT is agent-first. Its agents train on your help center, docs, and APIs, take real action like creating tickets and updating orders, and resolve up to 90% of repeated queries, with live handoff to your team when a conversation needs a human.

What is the best Tidio alternative for AI customer support?

YourGPT, if you want the AI to resolve conversations rather than assist a live chat team. It trains on your knowledge base and APIs, acts across web, WhatsApp, Instagram, and voice, and bills one flat plan instead of metering conversations. If all you want is a simpler live chat widget with no AI resolution layer, a plain live chat tool will be a closer like-for-like swap than either platform.

How does Tidio's pricing compare to YourGPT?

Tidio meters usage at every level: Free covers 50 billable conversations a month, Starter is $24.17/mo on annual billing for 100, Growth starts at $49.17/mo on annual billing from 250 billable conversations and scales with volume, Plus starts at $300/mo plus monthly usage, and Premium is custom priced. Lyro AI is a separate quota from $32.50/mo for 50 AI conversations. YourGPT charges one flat plan: Essential $39, Professional $79, or Advanced $349 a month billed annually, or $59, $129, and $499 month-to-month, plus AI credits. Figures current as of July 2026 from tidio.com/pricing. A typical Tidio setup of Growth plus the Lyro AI add-on comes to about $980 per year on annual rates (Growth $49.17 and Lyro $32.50 a month) at entry volumes of 250 billable conversations and 50 Lyro AI conversations, versus $948 per year on YourGPT Professional with AI included.

Is there a free Tidio alternative?

Tidio itself has the most usable free tier in this pair: 50 billable conversations a month, 10 seats, and 50 one-time Lyro AI conversations. If your volume genuinely fits inside that, staying free on Tidio is a fair choice. YourGPT does not have a free plan. It offers a 7-day free trial with no credit card, then flat plans from $39 a month on annual billing that never meter conversations.

Can Tidio's Lyro AI handle support on its own?

Partly. Lyro answers questions from your support content and FAQs, and it does that well for simple, repetitive questions. It is not designed to take multi-step actions across your systems the way an agent platform is. Tidio's own marketing puts Lyro's resolution rate at 67% on average, and its Premium plan lists a guaranteed 50% Lyro AI resolution rate. YourGPT targets up to 90% of repeated queries, a narrower and higher-frequency slice than Tidio's all-conversation average, by acting on your data and systems, not only answering from a knowledge base.

Does YourGPT charge per conversation like Lyro?

No. YourGPT plans are flat, and usage runs on transparent AI credits that vary by model. There is no per-conversation quota to buy and no billable-conversation cap on your plan. Lyro's pricing works the other way: quotas from $32.50 a month for 50 AI conversations, with larger volumes negotiated on Tidio's Plus and Premium tiers. Figures current as of July 2026 from tidio.com/pricing.
