Tidio has a feature that upgrades your package automatically. This is in theory a good idea during Seasonal sales. However, it doesn't downgrade automatically after that.
Extreme seasonality is a known fact in E-Commerce, so it's undeniably bad intend by Tidio and was probably developed as a cash grab instead of convenience for small businesses. They upgrade you once your numbers rise and enjoy the extra profit if you do not downgrade manually afterwards.
Who doesn't love it to micromanage your plugins regularly on top of your customers, thanks a lot Tidio. Always love to work with companies who specialize in f*ing over their customers instead making a good product.
Due to known fluctuations in this kind of business it's undeniable this was developed having that in mind. Therefore bad intend is also undeniable. Either that or complete incompetence, both deserves a 1 star rating.
We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you sharing this feedback.
The goal of the automatic upgrade feature is to help avoid service disruptions when conversation limits are reached, especially for businesses relying on automation and wanting to avoid interruptions in customer interactions.
We’d also like to clarify that the auto-upgrade feature is completely optional and can be managed or disabled at any time, including right after subscribing.
We have also reached out to you directly to assist further and take a closer look at your case.
We understand your concerns and appreciate the feedback.
I installed this app yesterday, so that I could chat live with visitors to my site. The app says it can't scan my site for info, and when I set it to scan specific pages it doesn't load. the loading wheel has literally been spinning since last night. Also it pulled contacts and chats from my other website so now they're all mixed up. Deleting this app. I will try something better. Oh and the AI bot runs you around in circles trying to fix the issue.
Hi! This isn’t the experience we aim to deliver - especially when your goal was simple: live chat working cleanly on one site. The good news is that this is fixable!
A human from our support team can review your setup directly, properly separate the domains, and confirm whether the scanner issue is environmental or on our side. No AI loop, no pressure to stay.
We’ve already sent you an email so we can take a direct look if you’re open to it.

Diese App ist die größte Enttäuschung, die ich jemals mit Shopify Apps erlebt habe.
Ich habe den Live Chatbot mehrere Tage trainiert, Tag und Nacht. Alles bis in die Details erklärt, alle Antworten geliefert. Für Paar Wochen ging es gut - ich wollte nur das mindeste, nur dass er gute Antworten liefert.
Ich merke seit mehreren Tagen, dass der Umsatz schwächer und schwächer wird - ich dachte niemals, dass es wegen dem Bot ist. Ich habe die Chats für ca. zwei Wochen nicht kontrolliert.
Die Antworten sind katastrophal, sogar die Produkte, die wir am meisten auf unserem Shop verkaufen, wurden dargestellt, als ob sie nicht verfügbar wären. Katastrophe!!! 40 Chats mit 40 potenziellen Verkäufen hat er uns ruiniert, mit Antworten die niemals eingegeben wurden.
Ich bin zutiefst enttäuscht. Ihr habt mir mein Geschäft ruiniert!!!
Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We will investigate the case and contact you via email.
Tidio sucks. They send constant emails saying that your "services have stopped working" in order to get you to upgrade. We fell for it, upgraded, and ended up paying $77/month only to receive additional messages that other services stopped working. They imply that your chat has stopped, but they're just secondary services - but we ended up cancelling because of the pushy, misleading messages. A sleazy way to do business. 0/10 WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.
UPDATE : We reached out previously about why we were getting the scare-tactic "services stopped working" emails and were not told then that we could optimize our "subscription so you can focus solely on chat." Nope. We just kept receiving them. This is too little, too late. Your scare-tactic upselling is is the reason that we cancelled and NO WAY are we going back, this is much too little much too late. Beware of this from the start if you use this app.
I’m sorry to hear that. We can assist you in optimizing your subscription so you can focus solely on chat. The reason you were receiving these messages is that, for example, your flows were triggering for every visitor, which quickly consumed your quota. By fine-tuning these flows or disabling them for your store, this issue can be resolved. Someone from our team is already reaching out to help you.

I've been using Tidio for my customers for a while now. The AI chatbot works but the company's model is really disapointing. Our website gets thousands of viewers with questions but the model is limited conversations per month. Once the limitation is reached, these questions go into a Live Conversation, which is not met if you don't have the team set up for this. So instead of unanswered questions defaulting to your email for example, you get a waterfall of Live Chat questions in Tidio. *Hopefully* your notifications are turned on for this. Mine were not. So I had a lot of unmet customer questions. What a mess. Of course I am happy to set up unlimited conversations... except there is only a tier of limited conversations set up at a price *starting* at $749 USD/month. This is simply unworkable. What a messy model. I'm moving onto an app that supports growth.

Those guys are thieves, be careful when you're choosing the plant because what you are paying for it it's only 100 clicks which every normal page have in at least one day . So you can't get in contact with your customers. And the right things to you that you may be gonna miss seeing and lose the sale.
We're really sorry you feel that way. Please be informed that we will reach out to you via email shortly. From what it seems, there might have been confusion regarding the plan we offer - we will do our best to clarify that part and offer best possible solution.
Requests are getting lost - I have them coming from the help email to open a ticket, but once the email gets forwarded, it gets lost where it cannot be found.
Do not have expectations that support will help you - it is very slow to get a response, and the responses are not helpful, nor are they live.
Do yourself a favor and do not use this
Hi, I'm really sorry to hear about your experience. Our team worked hard to identify and fix the problem you faced. Unfortunately, we couldn't completely assist you since the app was removed before we could pinpoint the issue. It's possible that the problem might have been related to the forwarding rules in your email client, not Tidio itself. I'd really appreciate the chance to give it another try and fully troubleshoot this for you.
Thank you,

Have now put limitations on how many chat you can have on the free plan in order to push people to a paid plan. Moving to another with paid because of this.
Hi there. Thank you for your feedback and sorry to see you go :( A few weeks ago, after we introduced some new features, we decided to change our Pricing logic a bit. Since then, we notified our customers that the live chat will be limited to 50 unique visitors monthly unless they have a subscription to our premium plan. The limit was not enforced immediately because we wanted to give our users some time to get used to it. However, it was already enforced now. If this is a crucial factor for your business, and you would like to chat with more visitors, you would need to subscribe to our Communicator plan. This plan, apart from removing the conversations limit, includes many other great features that could support your business. Please reach out to us at support@tidio.net if you'd like to discuss all the available options. Chris
I have been using since 2019. Worked well no complains. They kept increasing prices. I have to say i will stop using the app.

I honestly don’t even know how to describe what happened.
I paid for a plan because I wanted the chat page. I then received an email from Raquel, who stated that there are significant abuses of the chat page and I therefore have to prove my reasons for wanting it. I message back that this doesn’t sound like an upstanding company.
Hours later I receive another response from Chris, who states he’s with the legal team, but oddly has a Customer Experience title. Within the thread that Chris forwarded to me is an email from Joel, who explicitly states that he’s not replying to me so that I don’t think something went wrong on their side.
Too late. I definitely think there’s something wrong on their side.
I cannot uninstall this app fast enough, and have asked for a refund. I don’t know what you, the reader, may want to do with this information, but I can’t suggest that you use them. There are plenty of other live chats out there with fewer red flags when talking to clients.
Update: As you can see they replied here, they also emailed me asking me to edit my review because...and here let me quote Jack, "But I also want to be honest—while the mistake was bad, it wasn’t as sketchy as it might have seemed."
Because nothing says sketchy like a company having to say "we're not sketchy".
We understand that this situation caused frustration, and we regret the mix-up. While it was simply an internal error, we recognize that it didn’t leave the best impression. Mistakes happen, and we’ve already corrected the issue to prevent it from recurring.
We appreciate the feedback and remain committed to providing a reliable experience for all our users.
