WhatsApp, Instagram & Facebook Messenger AI Agent vsWebsite-Only Live Chat.
Tidio is a solid website live chat tool — but its AI chatbot (Lyro) costs $749/mo and it can't reach buyers on WhatsApp, Instagram, or Facebook Messenger where fashion shoppers actually ask questions. VoluChat meets buyers on the channels they already use.
