Before you decide
Tidio Lyro vs Yellow.ai: buying questions
How should I compare Tidio Lyro and Yellow.ai pricing?
Tidio Lyro: Monthly subscription by AI conversation quota. Multiple replies in one conversation count together. Human-agent conversations and Flows have separate allowances; Plus and Premium offer custom volume and services. A Customer Service entry price does not include a recurring paid Lyro quota. Yellow.ai: Custom Enterprise subscription with applicable usage and module charges. Free-plan allowances differ between the pricing page and billing documentation; confirm the included volume and chargeable-resolution definition before estimating cost. Ask both vendors to quote the same expected workload, required channels, and implementation scope. Include required subscriptions and usage charges before comparing the total; the listed starting prices alone may cover different work.
Can Tidio Lyro and Yellow.ai use my existing knowledge?
The recorded sources for Tidio Lyro include verified website sources; FAQs; policies; product/order data. For Yellow.ai, they include knowledge bases; FAQs; CRM/ERP systems; documents; APIs. Ask each vendor to demonstrate ingestion or live access for the exact system you use, with permissions and refresh behavior.

What should I test in a Tidio Lyro vs Yellow.ai pilot?
Use the same sample of real support requests, approved knowledge, and escalation rules in both pilots. Can it cite or restrict answers to approved knowledge? What happens when the agent is uncertain? Which actions can it complete beyond answering? Record answer quality, completed tasks, human handoffs, and total cost in the buyer worksheet.
