The Tidio Alternative That Books Meetings and Captures Leads For You
Tidio gives you a self-serve chat widget with optional AI add-ons. Boafo Agent gives you a fully managed AI Employee that captures leads, books meetings into your Google Calendar and hands off to humans cleanly, all for a flat monthly fee.
Website enquiry handling, live within days. Trained on your business before launch.
What's getting in the way today
- Self-serve chat widgets get installed and forgotten.
- AI add-ons sit behind premium tiers and per-conversation counters.
- Bookings require a third-party tool wired into the flow.
- Lead data lands in the widget dashboard, not your CRM.
- Quality drifts without weekly tuning that nobody has time for.
- Free plans look attractive, then the bill grows as conversations grow.
Boafo Agent vs Tidio in real use
Tidio is a great fit if you want a low-cost chat widget you install yourself and tune in your spare time.
Boafo Agent is the right fit when you want a working AI Employee live in a week, trained on your services, branded in your voice, wired into Google Calendar and your CRM, and tuned weekly by us on real conversations.
Pricing is flat from £99/month with conversations included in your plan, instead of per-conversation metering or per-AI-message counters.
Most teams that switch from Tidio do it because they got tired of owning the build, the script and the integrations themselves.
