Tidio Chat messenger is a messenger that allows a widget to be displayed to any visitor on your website. The beauty of this plugin is that it does not require a large loading time; it is lightweight and a beautiful piece of craftsmanship by Tidio Company. It is easily available for download from the WordPress.org website, which comes with a seven days trial. This plugin includes a backend and a frontend. The frontend of this app is a simple pop up which is present on the bottom right corner of the website that you install it in.
As seen in the image above it supports a very simple and plain GUI (Graphical User Interface) which is a key beneficial point of this plugin. A visitor while using this simple interface to directly interact with you does not lose interest in your website which in turn creates the best combination of real time interaction and the basic information available on the website.
After the 7 days trial you are allowed to have two packages; one of the package is for $0 which provides you with 1 concurrent chat, 1 operator, No automatic Messages and no mobile app. The second pack option that is made available to you is $10 per month which includes unlimited chats, unlimited operators, automatic messages available and lastly but the most major part access to mobile app. This pricing is amongst the best minimal pricing available on the internet one is talking about a chat widget.
