What SiteMind emphasizes
The big three
One number from each competitor. Fresh sources. Then the SiteMind answer.
Competitor figures verified July 14, 2026.
vs Tidio
Lyro AI: $32.50/mo add-on
AI isn't included — Lyro is a paid add-on with a 50-chat lifetime cap on Free and Starter.
Tidio also auto-bills you into the next tier at 95% of the limit, so monthly costs can jump without warning.
SiteMind
Start free, then $19 or $99 a month. AI is included. No surprise tier bumps.
vs Intercom
Fin AI: $0.99 per answer
Every Fin answer adds $0.99 — on top of per-seat fees.
Seats start at $29 each, and Fin AI is billed per resolution — so the bill scales with every conversation and is hard to predict.
SiteMind
Predictable monthly ceiling. Your AI getting smarter shouldn't raise your bill.
vs Drift
No public pricing
Drift was folded into Salesloft — pricing is quote-only through sales.
Drift was folded into Salesloft and is being wound down. Setup runs through an enterprise sales process, not self-serve — it's built for mid-market and enterprise, not small businesses.
SiteMind
No annual contract. Start free. Cancel any month.
