4Published Instagram features: keyword replies, story reply/reaction flows, discount codes, contact capture, comment management, multiple accounts

5Not published: a private comment-to-DM reply or a follow gate — the two levers Instagram growth tools are built on

## How Tidio's billing works

Tidio is a customer-service product first. Its unit is the billable conversation — a visitor or customer thread your team or bot handles — and the plan ladder is a set of conversation caps. Instagram DMs count toward the same cap as website chat and Messenger. Lyro, Tidio's AI agent, has its own allowance: 50 lifetime conversations on Free, then a paid add-on from $32.50 for 50 a month. Flows (automation) carry a separate meter too. For a support desk with a few hundred tickets a month that's coherent. For a creator whose Reel just generated 2,000 'link please' comments, each one is a conversation.

The fine print

## Where a support tool's pricing hurts a growth job

01

### Every DM is a conversation

A comment-to-DM campaign that sends 500 links is 500 conversations. On Growth's 250 cap that's two months of allowance in a day.

02

### AI is a second bill

Lyro is priced separately at roughly $0.50 per conversation. Letting AI answer 1,000 Instagram DMs is about $500 on top of the plan.

03

### The Instagram growth levers aren't listed

Tidio's Instagram page lists keyword replies, story flows, discount codes, and comment management. It doesn't list private comment-to-DM replies or a follow gate — verify before assuming.

04

### Built for tickets, priced for tickets

If your Instagram inbox is customer support for a Shopify store, Tidio's shape fits. If it's a lead engine you're trying to scale, the meter runs the wrong direction.

When Tidio is worth it

Tidio is a strong choice if Instagram is one support channel among several for an e-commerce store — you want website chat, Messenger, and Instagram in one inbox with up to 10 agents, and your monthly conversation count is a few hundred. Lyro is a credible AI support agent if you'll pay per conversation. It's the wrong shape for Instagram growth: conversation-metered pricing punishes the viral moment you're trying to create, AI is a separate meter, and the comment-to-DM and follow-gate features aren't published. For that job, Reachlee Growth is $14/mo flat with unlimited DMs and AI replies from your own knowledge.

FAQ

## Tidio Instagram pricing — FAQ

How much does Tidio cost for Instagram?

Instagram is included on every Tidio plan, so you pay the regular ladder. As of September 2026: Free (50 conversations/mo), Starter $29/mo or $24.17 annually (100), Growth from $59/mo or $49.17 annually (250), Plus from $300, Premium custom. Lyro AI is extra, from $32.50/mo for 50 conversations.

Does Tidio have a free plan for Instagram?

Yes — Free includes Instagram with 50 conversations a month and 50 lifetime Lyro AI conversations. That's enough to test, not enough to run a comment-to-DM campaign; Reachlee's free plan handles 1,000 DMs a month.

How much does Tidio's Lyro AI cost?

Lyro is an add-on from $32.50/mo for 50 AI conversations, roughly $0.50 per conversation, on top of your plan. Free accounts get 50 Lyro conversations total, not per month.

Does Tidio do comment-to-DM on Instagram?

Tidio's Instagram integration page lists keyword replies, story reply and reaction flows, discount codes, contact capture, and comment management. A private comment-to-DM reply and a follow gate aren't published there as of September 2026 — check with Tidio before relying on either.

Can I get a refund from Tidio?

Tidio's FAQ says no refunds. You cancel under Settings › Billing › Cancel and keep access to the end of the period. Use the 7-day trial and the free plan to decide.

Is Tidio's Instagram integration compliant with Meta?

Tidio's Instagram integration is official, which means it operates inside Meta's rules: replies only to people who message first, within the 24-hour window. Reachlee runs on Instagram Business Login with the same constraints and a rate-limit pre-flight on every send.

What's a cheaper alternative to Tidio for Instagram automation?

Reachlee — Pro at $9/mo with unlimited DMs, comment-to-DM, story automation, Growth Gate, and lead capture; Growth at $14/mo adds Reachlee AI. The trade-off is scope: Reachlee is Instagram-only, so if you need website chat and Messenger in the same inbox, Tidio fits better.
