Tidio ‑ Live Chat & AI Chatbot

Terrible Customer Support – 30+ Days, No Resolution

We have spent over a month trying to resolve a basic WhatsApp‑integration error on Tidio. Despite countless emails, chatbot conversations, and a “Level 2” escalation, our phone number still shows as "pending" and messages never send.

- 30+ days, still broken. Every reply repeats the same “disconnect and reconnect” script—nothing changes.
- No live technician. All contact is through an automated bot or delayed email; no real person ever jumps on a call or screenshare.
- Business impact ignored. Our store relies on WhatsApp to serve customers; Tidio’s inaction has cost us sales and credibility.
- Empty promises. Each “we’ll get back to you shortly” stretches into days of silence.

If you want a platform whose "only" support is a bot that recycles canned responses, Tidio is perfect. If you value rapid, human‑centered help for mission‑critical features, look elsewhere—I’m canceling and moving back to Meta’s own (free) tools.

Tidio has been a big help for us so far. Lyro handles all the repetitive questions, saving us time, and its easy to set up and use. Plus, their customer service is fantastic if you need any help getting started.

The app seems incredibly promising but it's unclear in terms of how to scale it and use it - we have previously asked for an overview and the support agent missed our meetings twice and messaging execs or anyone was flatly ignored. Despite this we have gone with Tidio and while everything seems so incredibly promising. the only promise of support has been severely lacking

So far the AI chat bot is helping us reduce staff time answering reptitive questions that are easily answerable. We've made some sales with the AI bot also. The support team have been responsive and helpful.

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".
