# Strand Support vs Tidio | Strand Support

[← All comparisons](/compare)

Multi-channel support

Tidio targets online stores with live chat, chatbots, and email on the storefront. Strand Support serves Discord-first shops: the same tickets in Discord and on your branded portal, with purchase context from game commerce rather than a Shopify-shaped live chat widget.

## Who should pick which

### Choose Tidio if

-   Your customers find you on a web store and live chat is the main channel
-   You want chatbots and email without running a Discord support server

### Choose Strand Support if

-   Customers expect tickets in Discord and on your brand
-   Game-store purchases should appear next to the conversation
-   You want one queue across Discord and portal with staff-facing ops tools

## Tidio is a good fit for

-   E-commerce sites that want live chat and Lyro AI on the storefront
-   Teams focused on website visitors and cart recovery
-   Stores where Discord is not the home of customer support

## Where it usually falls short

-   Discord-native shared queue is not the product focus
-   Tebex and game-store purchase context are outside the usual pitch
-   Branded portal for Discord communities differs from Tidio chat embed
