Helply vs Tidio Lyro AI:
Comparing AI support agents, pricing mechanics, and platform dependency

Helply and Tidio Lyro AI both use AI to automate customer support conversations. The difference is how AI usage is priced, how many layers of tooling are required to operate at scale, and how predictable costs remain as automation volume increases.

About Tidio Lyro AI

Tidio Lyro AI is an AI agent sold as an add-on to the Tidio support platform. Teams must first subscribe to a Tidio base plan, then purchase Lyro AI conversation bundles and additional automation features separately as usage grows.
