Captiwate's take

Tidio is the fastest path from zero to live chat for small teams. Lyro is a genuine differentiator at this price point — it handles common questions without human involvement. The limitation is depth: no visitor identification, no account-based targeting, no sophisticated routing. It's a solid entry-level tool, not an enterprise pipeline platform.
