Lyro is Tidio's AI agent for small and mid-sized e-commerce businesses. It works as an add-on to Tidio, on its own, or on Zendesk, Intercom and Salesforce through Lyro Connect. Entry prices are public, data is hosted in the EEA, and it supports 48 languages.

**Bottom line**

- **Best for:** Small online stores that want to start this week
- **Not for:** Support by voice or SMS, or teams that want one simple meter
- **Price from:** $24.17 per month
- **The catch:** A conversation thread closes after 15 idle minutes, so a visitor who comes back is billed again, and the free quota never resets.

## Score breakdown

**Score: 7.9/10**

| Criterion | Weight | Level | What it means |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Pricing transparency | 25% | 3/5 | Some prices are public, but a material part of the bill, such as a platform fee, usage rate or minimum, is quote-only or undefined. |
| Performance evidence | 25% | 4/5 | Figures from named customers in published case studies. |
| Access and time to pilot | 20% | 5/5 | Self-serve sign-up or trial, and it runs on top of the helpdesk you already use. |
| Channel and language coverage | 15% | 4/5 | Chat, email, and voice or messaging channels, with 30 or more languages. |
| Control and compliance | 15% | 4/5 | Handoff, guardrails and testing or simulation tools; SOC 2 or ISO 27001; a GDPR data processing agreement. |

## Claimed vs reported performance

| Reported figure | Source | Who says so |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 67% | Tidio | Vendor claim |
| 58% | Tidio's own support team | Named customer |
| 83% | Borrowell | Named customer |

Tidio publishes an average resolution rate of 67%, and resolution rates of up to 90% for the best-performing setups; a 2025 release put the average at 64%. Publishing an average is more than several rivals do: Zendesk and Forethought give only "up to" ceilings, and Sierra, Gladly and Salesforce give no average at all. Like every vendor figure on this site, Tidio's average has not been independently verified. Its own support team reports 58%, and its customer Borrowell reports 83%.

> **For buyers in the United States** There is no federal AI law for customer service bots, but existing rules apply. The FTC treats misleading AI claims as deception, California requires bots to identify themselves when they are used to sell, and AI voices on outbound calls need consent under the TCPA.

## Verdict

Lyro scores well because a small team can sign up, try it on real traffic and see most of the bill in advance. The 15-minute thread rule and the separate meters are the things to model before you commit to a bundle.

## Frequently asked questions

### How is a Lyro conversation counted?

Any thread where Lyro sends at least one reply counts. Threads close after 15 idle minutes, so a returning visitor starts a new billable conversation.

### Can I use Lyro without Tidio's live chat?

Yes. Tidio offers Lyro on its own and, through Lyro Connect, on Zendesk, Intercom and Salesforce.
