Tidio is a popular chat widget for Shopify stores.
Convot is built for the people who build Shopify apps, wired to your Partner revenue.
Tidio is a widely used live chat and chatbot tool for Shopify merchants, with Lyro AI and ecommerce automations. Convot serves the other side of the marketplace, the app developers, so it shows each merchant's MRR, plan, and LTV beside the chat, and bundles a help center, roadmap, status page, and scheduling.

When should you use each?
Tidio is a good fit when…
- You're a Shopify merchant (a store) wanting chat and bots for your shoppers
- You want pre-built ecommerce automations and a visual bot builder
- Your customer is the shopper, not a Shopify app merchant
- You don't need Shopify Partner revenue data
Convot wins when…
- You build Shopify apps and your customer is the merchant, not the shopper
- You want MRR, plan, and LTV of that merchant beside every conversation
- You want roadmap, changelog, status, and scheduling in one platform
- You want AI that grades support quality and attributes churn, not just a chatbot

What changes when you move to Convot
Revenue beside every thread
Every conversation shows the merchant's plan, MRR, LTV, and churn risk, pulled live from the Shopify Partner API. You stop treating all merchants the same and start protecting the ones who matter most.
AI that closes the churn loop
When a merchant uninstalls, Convot's AI examines the support history and tells you whether support was the cause, a signal no other tool can produce, so you fix the right thing.
Many tools become one
Chat, shared inbox, help center, changelog, roadmap voting, status page, scheduling, and a Shopify MRR dashboard, all under one login, one brand, and one bill instead of five subscriptions.
Built for Shopify app teams
Convot is purpose-built for the 1–10-person teams behind Shopify apps, Shopify-native (CORS for *.myshopify.com out of the box), revenue-aware, and live in minutes.
