Frequently asked questions
- Is kAyphI more expensive than Tidio?
- kAyphI starts at $119/mo vs. Tidio's $29/mo — but you get 10x the conversations (500 vs. 50), voice mode, appointment booking, and industry integrations included. Per-conversation, kAyphI is actually cheaper, and you won't hit upgrade walls as quickly.
- Does kAyphI have a visual chatbot builder?
- kAyphI uses a knowledge-base-powered approach instead of rigid decision trees. You upload your content (website, documents, FAQs) and the AI handles conversations dynamically. For structured workflows like intake forms and booking flows, you configure them through the dashboard — no drag-and-drop needed.
- Can kAyphI handle e-commerce?
- kAyphI is optimized for service businesses, not e-commerce. If you run an online store and need product recommendations, cart recovery, and Shopify integration, Tidio is the better fit. If you run a practice or service business that books appointments and captures leads, kAyphI is built for you.
Beyond chat — an AI agent that acts
Your patients and clients don't want to browse a product catalog. They want to book an appointment, ask about their case, or complete their intake. kAyphI does that.
