The business case

The real cost of Tidio once Lyro AI is on

Tidio's public 2026 pricing: Free at $0, Starter around $24/mo, Growth around $49/mo, and Plus starting at $749/mo, each tier capping AI conversation credits before overage or upgrade. Here's the annual math at three volumes.

Tidio's tier ladder (published 2026 pricing)$290/yrStarter$590/yrGrowth$8,988/yrPlusPublished tier price (base plan only)Where your tickets go100%resolved by Evo AI + your team

Illustrative, from Tidio's public pricing: growing ticket volume means climbing the tier ladder or paying overage on AI credits. EvoAI replaces the tier ladder with one charge per resolution.

You stay in controlPolicy thresholds, approval queues, and a full audit trail on every action Evo AI takes.
Augments your teamEvo AI resolves 100% of tickets. It clears the bulk end-to-end, and your agents handle the rest with a case file ready to read. Zero new hires.
Live in 1 dayNo rules trees to rebuild. Evo AI learns from your existing tickets, help center, and store data.

The difference isn't the chat widget. It's the architecture.

A chat widget deflects: it answers an FAQ and hands the work back to the customer. An agent resolves: EvoAI already knows the order, detects the store and currency, checks the customer's history, and acts within your policy. Same conversation, different context, different outcome.

100% resolved, not a 50% guarantee

Tidio's own guarantee caps AI resolution at 50% of conversations. The other half lands on your team with no context. EvoAI resolves 100% of tickets: AI clears the bulk end-to-end, and your team closes the rest inside your policy.

Context built in, not bolted on

EvoAI is powered by Blotout, so orders, attribution, and prior conversations are in the reply from the first message. No flow-builder to maintain. Live in 1 day.

One price per resolution, not a tier ladder

Tidio runs Free ($0), then paid tiers from about $24/mo up to $749/mo, with Lyro AI and Flows automation billed as separate add-ons on top. EvoAI charges once, per resolution. No tier to outgrow.

Switching from Tidio

The questions DTC teams ask us most when they move off a per-ticket helpdesk.

Why is Tidio expensive once Lyro AI is on?

Because Tidio's own guarantee tops out at 50% of conversations resolved by AI, the rest lands on your team with no context. EvoAI resolves 100% of tickets: AI clears the bulk end-to-end, and your team closes the rest with a full case file attached.

Is Evo AI just another chatbot?

No. Tidio's Lyro AI answers FAQs and flags a handoff. EvoAI is agent-native, so it executes: it checks the order, applies your refund and exchange policy, auto-approves what's allowed, and only escalates the edge cases, with a case file ready to read.

How long does it take to switch?

Most brands are live in 1 day. There's no flow-builder to rebuild. EvoAI learns from your existing tickets, help center, and store data.

Will it sound like us, and stay within policy?

Yes. EvoAI replies in your brand voice and operates inside the policy you set: refund limits, approval thresholds, escalation rules. Anything outside policy reaches your team with full context attached.

What happens to the tickets Evo AI doesn't resolve?

The remaining tickets land with your team as a ready-to-read case file: order, history, attribution, and what EvoAI already tried.
