All-in-one, not add-on stacking
Transparent pricing, no surprise upgrades. Support Station gives you AI-powered customer support with flat-rate pricing, unlimited team members, and AI credits included in every plan.
Why teams are leaving Tidio
Real feedback from real users. These are the problems that push teams to look for alternatives.
2-3x Hidden Costs
Tidio's real cost is 2-3x the advertised price once you add Lyro AI ($39/mo), Flows ($24/mo), and branding removal ($17/mo).
“The real-world cost for most teams ends up 2-3x higher than the advertised price.”
Automatic Plan Upgrades
Multiple users report being upgraded to higher-priced plans without consent.
“Our package suddenly went from €11.25 to €50 per month. We never agreed to this.”
Fragmented Experience
Live Chat, Flows, and Lyro AI are separate systems that don't work seamlessly together.
“You cannot seamlessly combine simple, rule-based bot interactions with AI-driven conversations within a single workflow.”
Support Station solves these problems
Flat-rate pricing. AI included. Unlimited team members. No surprises.
