Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Tidio at weekly against Crisp's every 2 months. Tidio also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (4.8K vs 520). Crisp's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Tidio holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4.

Written reviews point the same way: 83% of Tidio's written reviews are positive against 71% of Crisp's.
Tidio ships an update weekly, Crisp every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 15, 2026.
