Which to use
Intercom wins when Fin and the human inbox share the same customer record and knowledge. Tidio wins for on-site chat and an AI agent on a store that already has conversations to handle.
- Choose Intercom if you want one helpdesk with a built-in AI agent rather than a separate bot bolted on.
- Choose Tidio if your site or store already gets questions and you want chat that can resolve or route them.
