Live chat is not the same job as closing the question before checkout
If you want a human to jump into a chat from a laptop, Tidio is built for that. QUIRA is built to answer from live inventory when nobody is at the laptop — that is the AI Sales Agent.
When Tidio is the better choice
You want inexpensive live chat first, AI second, and you are happy with page-level product answers.
