Yuma AI vs Tidio

The ecommerce-ready Tidio alternative that automates up to 80% of CX

‍

TL;DR — Why stores switch from Tidio to Yuma AI

• Higher sustained automation: merchants hit 70-80% full-ticket resolution with Yuma vs. Tidio’s 60–67% average (64% median).
• Runs inside any help-desk: Gorgias, Zendesk, Kustomer, Re:amaze, custom. No inbox lock-in.
• Executes real actions: refunds, order edits, subscription pauses. Tidio’s Lyro answers questions but can’t change orders.
• Omnichannel + multilingual out-of-the-box: email, live chat, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, plus product-review threads in any language.

Quick-glance comparison

‍

1. Built for ecommerce AI, not “chat-first” bots

Yuma launched in 2023 to own the entire ticket lifecycle, interpret intent, cite evidence, and trigger real storefront actions. Tidio began as live chat in 2013; Lyro bolts AI onto a chat widget. The result: Yuma resolves the order, Tidio answers the question and escalates.

2. Any help-desk > single inbox lock-In

Keep every macro, queue, and report you’ve set up in Gorgias, Zendesk, or Kustomer. Yuma installs as a one-click app inside your existing stack. No re-training, no re-platforming risk. Tidio demands that agents live in the Tidio inbox, forcing workflow change.

3. Automation depth that protects margin

Yuma’s Auto-Pilot Agents execute refunds, partial refunds, order edits, subscription pauses, and more through secure API calls. That’s why EvryJewels runs 70% end-to-end automation and cuts cost per ticket by 63%.

Lyro can surface knowledge-base answers but still sends many “Please leave an email” fall-backs, pushing work back to humans.

4. Speed to value & ROI

Mool saw 40% coverage three days after turning Yuma on, without touching macros. You start free for 30 days; if savings don’t outweigh the fee, you owe nothing. Tidio offers no formal ROI pledge.

5. Serve customers everywhere — all channels, all languages, 24/7

• Channels: Yuma handles email, chat, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and product-review threads from the same agent.
• Languages: Automatic translation means a single knowledge base covers the globe.
• Lyro supports chat, Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp in “dozens” of languages, but its admin panel and help articles are English-first.

6. Enterprise-grade security & compliance

Yuma is SOC 2 Type II certified and publishes a live Trust Center. Data stays inside your help-desk; no extra Shopify scopes required.

Tidio also holds SOC 2 but pulls full customer and order data into its own inbox.
