The Tidio alternative
When you outgrow the chat widget
Tidio is great for getting a chat bubble live in minutes. Chatasist is what you switch to when WhatsApp Official, Instagram comments, Telegram bots, voice calls and a real CRM start mattering — and you don't want Lyro to count every single conversation against your bill.

Why teams switch to Chatasist
Real omnichannel, not a starter pack
WhatsApp Official API, Instagram Direct + comments, Telegram bots and Facebook all flow into the same inbox as web chat. No Twilio middleware needed.
AI you can budget
A bundled pool of resolutions on every paid plan + clear top-up packs ($100 / $500 / $2,500) means you can model the spend instead of watching it tick up per conversation.
Voice + video built in
Escalate to an encrypted 1:1 call from any conversation without a third-party meeting tool — Tidio leaves you in chat-only.
Ready when you scale
Kanban tickets, routing rules, departments, work schedules and a real CRM are in the same workspace, not a separate plan track.
