| Which plan to pick | Growth is the plan most small teams should start on, because Lite has no proper email sync or automations. Move to Premium if you want web forms and lead scoring without paying for add-ons. Prices exclude tax and vary by country. | Start on Free or the 7-day trial, which needs no card. Growth is the plan most stores end up on, then add Lyro once you know how many chats it would handle. Check the price calculator on Tidio's pricing page, because the plan, Lyro and Flows are each billed separately. | Individuals should take Pro on the yearly plan; it is cheap and ten sessions a week is plenty. Teams wanting their own sales scenarios need Business. |
