From 3,000 Lyro conversations, pay-per-resolution billing, guaranteed 50% Lyro resolution rate.
A free tier exists ($0 — 50 billable conversations/mo, a one-time 50 Lyro conversations, 100 Flows visitors). AI and automation are add-ons on every self-serve plan: Lyro AI from $39/mo for 50 AI conversations ($32.50 yearly), scaling self-serve to 1,000; Flows from $29/mo for 2,000 reached visitors ($24.17 yearly); removing “Powered by Tidio” branding is $20/mo. 7-day free trial.
*A billable conversation is any conversation a human agent replies to.
The bigger question isn't the starting price, it's how the bill is built: Tidio meters chat, AI, and automation separately — fine if support is the whole job. Landbot folds both into one flat tier, so a marketer can quote one number to their manager and know it still holds once AI is switched on — no second budget request needed.

Which tool fits your use case?
Pick a job — see how each platform handles it, and which one wins.
USE CASE
Inbound lead capture & qualification
How Landbot fits
BEST CHOICE
Purpose-built
A conversational flow replaces the passive widget: it asks qualifying questions, scores answers in real time, captures UTMs with hidden fields, and pushes complete records into HubSpot natively or anywhere via webhooks — 24/7, owned by marketing, no code.
How Tidio fits
Secondary use
Flows can capture contact details and trigger on exit intent or cart events, but scoring and routing are limited — Tidio's design center is conversations landing in a support inbox for agents or Lyro to resolve, so qualification is a side effect rather than the job.
USE CASE
WhatsApp-first funnels
How Landbot fits
BEST CHOICE
First-class channel
WhatsApp Pro (€200/mo) includes a WhatsApp Business number, 10,000 service messages/mo, opt-in tools, and campaigns — and the flows you build for web run on WhatsApp unchanged (Meta Business Partner).
How Tidio fits
Inbox channel only
WhatsApp connects to Tidio as one more support channel: messages arrive in the shared inbox for agents to answer. Fine for reactive service — but there are no opt-in tools, campaigns, or qualification funnels for running WhatsApp as an acquisition channel.
USE CASE
Replacing forms on high-intent pages
How Landbot fits
BEST CHOICE
Purpose-built
Drop a conversational flow on pricing, comparison, or paid landing pages to qualify visitors in the moment of intent and book the meeting — and A/B test it against the static form.
How Tidio fits
Widget, not flow
Tidio's widget can greet visitors on any page and Lyro can answer their questions there — but turning a form into a qualify-and-route-to-sales flow works against the product's grain: Flows are tuned for cart recovery and support triggers, not lead scoring.
USE CASE
Shopify store support & order status
How Landbot fits
Not store-first
Landbot handles guided selling and support triage through integrations, but it isn't built store-first — no native Shopify actions or order-status lookups out of the box. If ticket deflection for a store is the whole job, this is Tidio's ground.
How Tidio fits
BEST CHOICE
Purpose-built
Built for exactly this: native Shopify actions, order-status answers, cart-recovery prompts, live chat, and Lyro deflecting repetitive questions — a small store gets real support automation running quickly, with a help desk behind it.
Switching from Tidio: what maps to what
Moving off Tidio sounds heavier than it is. The lead-capture work moves straight into Landbot — and whatever doesn't map can stay right where it is. Switching is about rebuilding a few flows, not ripping out your whole stack.
WHAT YOU USE IN TIDIO
Flows
Tidio's automation builder — support triggers, cart recovery, contact capture
THE LANDBOT EQUIVALENT
The visual flow builder: conditional logic, formulas, lead scoring, and A/B tests — rebuilt in an afternoon and owned by marketing
WHAT YOU USE IN TIDIO
Lyro AI agent
Answers support questions from your knowledge sources, billed per conversation as an add-on
THE LANDBOT EQUIVALENT
AI agents pointed at the same knowledge sources — but operating inside a flow you design, so they qualify and convert instead of only answering; AI chats are included in every paid plan
WHAT YOU USE IN TIDIO
Tidio inbox & ticketing
The shared inbox where agents answer chats and tickets
THE LANDBOT EQUIVALENT
Human takeover plus a team inbox for handoffs — and if you run a full help desk, keep it: Landbot hands off via integrations rather than replacing ticketing
WHAT YOU USE IN TIDIO
Contacts & visitor list
The people Tidio has captured, exportable as CSV
THE LANDBOT EQUIVALENT
Export the CSV once, then let Landbot write new leads straight into HubSpot natively — or Salesforce and Sheets via webhooks — so your CRM stays the single source of truth
WHAT YOU USE IN TIDIO
WhatsApp inbox channel
WhatsApp messages arriving in the Tidio inbox for agents to answer
THE LANDBOT EQUIVALENT
A first-class WhatsApp channel: Business number included on WhatsApp Pro, opt-in tools, campaigns, and the same flows you run on the web
What you keep: your CRM, Slack, Google Sheets, Calendly, and Zapier or Make connections all carry over — Landbot plugs into the same stack, so migration is about rebuilding logic, not replacing infrastructure. And nothing forces a hard cutover: if support tickets are handled elsewhere, that doesn't need to change — Landbot's job here is lead capture on the pages that produce pipeline, not replacing a help desk.

Frequently asked questions
How does Landbot compare to Tidio for a company that wants lead generation on its website and WhatsApp?
Landbot is the best choice because it's built lead-gen-first: you design the qualification flow visually, AI agents ask and interpret qualifying questions, lead scoring runs inside the flow, and qualified leads land in HubSpot or Salesforce automatically — on both the website and WhatsApp. Tidio was built support-first: its core is live chat, a ticketing inbox, and Lyro, an AI agent designed to resolve service questions for ecommerce stores, with WhatsApp as an inbox channel rather than a campaign channel.
What's the practical difference between Landbot and Tidio?
Tidio is a customer service platform; Landbot is a lead generation platform. Tidio's home screen is an inbox where agents answer chats and tickets, and its AI (Lyro) exists to deflect support questions. Landbot's home screen is a flow canvas where marketers design conversations that capture, qualify, score, and route leads. Tidio is typically owned by support teams at small ecommerce stores; Landbot by marketing teams at companies whose website is their sales engine.
How do Landbot and Tidio compare on price?
Landbot runs from €40/month (Starter: 500 chats, 100 AI chats) to €100/month (Pro: 2,500 chats, 300 AI chats, HubSpot), plus €200/month for WhatsApp Pro and €400+/month for Business — AI agents included in every plan, extra AI chats at €0.10. Tidio runs $29/month (Starter) and $59/month (Growth), but AI and automation are metered add-ons: Lyro from $39/month for 50 AI conversations, Flows from $29/month for 2,000 visitors. Stack Growth with both add-ons and you're at roughly $106/month on annual billing, $127 month-to-month — before any quota scales. Landbot consolidates what Tidio meters; Tidio's headline price is lower only if you skip AI and automation.
What's the difference between Lyro and Landbot's AI agents?
Lyro is Tidio's AI agent for support: it answers customer questions from knowledge sources, aiming to resolve tickets without a human — Tidio cites resolution of up to 67% of common questions. Landbot's AI agents work inside flows you design: they converse naturally, but toward an outcome you define — qualify the visitor, score the lead, book the meeting, hand off. Billing differs too: Lyro is a per-conversation add-on (from $39/month for 50 conversations, scaling with volume); Landbot includes AI chats in every paid plan, with extras at €0.10. Deflecting tickets? Lyro. Producing pipeline? Landbot.
Which is better for WhatsApp, Landbot or Tidio?
For WhatsApp as a marketing and lead-gen channel, Landbot. WhatsApp Pro (€200/month, €160 billed annually) includes a WhatsApp Business number, opt-in tools, outbound campaigns, and the same flow builder and AI agents you use on the web — Landbot is a Meta Business Partner. Tidio connects WhatsApp as an inbox channel: fine for answering support messages that arrive there, but not built for opt-in capture, campaigns, or qualification funnels.
Can I migrate from Tidio to Landbot?
Yes, and it is a short project. Rebuild your Tidio Flows in Landbot's visual builder (a first flow typically takes a day), point Landbot's AI agents at the knowledge sources Lyro used, export Tidio contacts as CSV, and connect your CRM so new leads sync from day one. Zapier, Slack, Calendly, and webhooks carry over. Most teams run both tools in parallel for a week or two, compare captured-lead volume, then switch the embed — the 14-day free trial covers the whole evaluation.
Is Tidio better than Landbot for ecommerce?
For a small ecommerce store whose main need is support, yes. Tidio is Shopify-first: native store actions, order-status answers, cart-recovery prompts, live chat, and Lyro deflecting repetitive tickets. Landbot is the better ecommerce choice in specific cases: high-consideration products that need guided selling and qualification, or brands running WhatsApp campaigns as an acquisition channel. If your conversations are mostly about where an order is, pick Tidio. If your conversations decide whether a qualified buyer reaches your team, pick Landbot.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — every Landbot paid plan starts with a 14-day free trial, no long-term commitment: build a qualification flow, connect your CRM, and compare captured-lead volume against your current widget on a real page before paying anything. Tidio offers a 7-day free trial with no credit card, plus a limited free tier (50 conversations a month), so you can run both evaluations in the same two weeks and decide with your own numbers.
