Tidio is a popular live chat tool with AI add-ons. But if you want AI that actually resolves conversations instead of just deflecting them, Otoq is built different.

Live operator reply included on all plans (Tidio charges extra for AI)
No per-seat pricing — one price, your whole team
Starts at $19/mo (vs Tidio's $29/mo for comparable AI features)
5-minute setup with a single script tag
No AI add-on fees — AI is the core product, not an upsell

Tidio is a solid live chat tool — but it was built as human-first chat with AI bolted on later. Otoq is AI-first: your agent learns your business, resolves 80%+ of conversations automatically, and you only step in when needed. If you want to stop sitting in a chat inbox all day, Otoq is the better choice.
