Where each one fits
Tidio is a full customer service suite. Its pricing page lists live chat, Flows for automation, and a Premium plan with a "Guaranteed 50% Lyro AI resolution rate" and pay-per-resolution billing. If you want live chat, ticketing and automation flows from one vendor and you are ready to price the Lyro AI Agent separately, Tidio is built for that.
If you want to test an AI agent before you pay anything, and without handing over a card, Dante's free plan is built for that. If voice matters to you, it is included on every Dante plan rather than a separate product. And if you expect to need a person to step into a conversation as you grow, human handover is part of the Advanced plan rather than a separate build.
