Source-based review. This portal has not run a hands-on benchmark, so nothing here reports observed performance. No record contains a score, a rating or a benchmark result, and none will until the agents have actually been tested. Facts last checked 20 Sept 2026, the earlier of the two records. ## Fit comparison Each state describes what the reviewed sources establish about a workflow, not whether the product is good at it. Vendor-documented means the vendor documents the workflow. External report means a source outside the vendor discusses it. Caveat documented means a cited source describes a limitation or failure in a specific context; read it alongside any capability evidence. Not established means the reviewed sources do not settle it, which is not the same as the product being unable to do it. States are derived from the cited claims below, never stored. | Area | Breeze Customer Agent | Lyro | | --- | --- | --- | | Billing | Not established | Not established | | Orders | Not established | External report | | Returns | Not established | Vendor-documented | | Product questions | Vendor-documented | Caveat documented | | Account issues | Not established | Not established | | Complaints | Not established | Not established | | Human handoff | Vendor-documented | External report | | Small businesses | Caveat documented | External report | | Mid-market | Not established | Not established | | Enterprise | Not established | Not established | Evidence for each verdict is listed per agent below. ### Breeze Customer Agent: fit evidence ### Billing — Not established No public source was found that settles this. ### Orders — Not established No public source was found that settles this. ### Returns — Not established No public source was found that settles this. ### Product questions — Vendor-documented - **Vendor capability:** HubSpot states the agent answers customer questions across email, chat, and forms using synced knowledge base articles, website content, and CRM history. _(Vendor-reported, checked 20 Sept 2026; source: [AI Customer Service Agent — HubSpot](https://www.hubspot.com/products/artificial-intelligence/ai-customer-service-agent); claim id: `hubspot-breeze-fit-product-questions-vendor`)_ > CX Today described the agent drawing on knowledge bases and CRM data (18 Feb 2025), but that coverage is descriptive rather than a test of answer quality, so it is not counted as independent support. ### Account issues — Not established No public source was found that settles this. ### Complaints — Not established No public source was found that settles this. ### Human handoff — Vendor-documented - **Vendor capability:** HubSpot documents that the agent transfers a conversation to a human when its confidence is low, when escalation rules are met, when a visitor explicitly asks for a human, or when a configured handoff phrase is triggered. _(Vendor-reported, checked 20 Sept 2026; source: [Understand the customer agent — HubSpot Knowledge Base](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/customer-agent/understand-the-customer-agent); claim id: `hubspot-breeze-fit-handoff-vendor`)_ > No independent evaluation of handoff quality or escalation accuracy was found. ### Small businesses — Caveat documented - **Independent report:** Procurement platform Vendr lists HubSpot Service Hub Professional at $100 per seat per month with a five-seat minimum and Enterprise at $150 per seat per month with a ten-seat minimum. _(Independent report, published 1 Feb 2026, checked 20 Sept 2026; source: [HubSpot Software Pricing Buyer Guide — Vendr](https://www.vendr.com/buyer-guides/hubspot); claim id: `hubspot-breeze-fit-small-vendr`)_ - **Documented gap:** HubSpot documents that Customer Agent is available only on Professional and Enterprise subscriptions, excluding businesses on HubSpot's Free and Starter tiers. _(Vendor-reported, checked 20 Sept 2026; source: [HubSpot Service Hub Pricing](https://www.hubspot.com/pricing/service); claim id: `hubspot-breeze-fit-small-gap`)_ > The seat minimums reported by Vendr apply to Service Hub subscriptions generally; they set the floor cost of reaching a tier where the agent is available. ### Mid-market — Not established No public source was found that settles this. ### Enterprise — Not established No public source was found that settles this. ### Lyro: fit evidence ### Billing — Not established No public source was found that settles this. ### Orders — External report - **Vendor capability:** Tidio states Lyro can automate order updates and lead qualification through a feature it calls Smart Actions. _(Vendor-reported, checked 20 Sept 2026; source: [Lyro AI Agent (Tidio)](https://www.tidio.com/lyro/); claim id: `lyro-fit-orders-vendor`)_ - **Independent report:** A UK merchant two years on the app wrote that, with Actions, customers can check the delivery status of their orders through Lyro. _(Independent report, published 28 Nov 2025, checked 3 Oct 2026; source: [Tidio Live Chat and AI Chatbots reviews (Shopify App Store), review by Attilus Caviar](https://apps.shopify.com/tidio-chat/reviews?page=15); claim id: `lyro-fit-orders-ind-1`)_ - **Independent report:** A US Shopify merchant wrote that Lyro handles the bulk of repetitive questions about shipping and orders, keeping their support inbox cleaner. _(Independent report, published 13 Nov 2025, checked 3 Oct 2026; source: [Tidio Live Chat and AI Chatbots reviews (Shopify App Store), review by Hummus Fit](https://apps.shopify.com/tidio-chat/reviews?page=16); claim id: `lyro-fit-orders-ind-2`)_ > Two merchant reviews describe Lyro answering order and delivery-status questions; neither says how the store connected its order data. A 2024 review reporting that order tracking did not work is listed under weaknesses rather than here, because it does not make clear whether the tracking it meant was Lyro's. ### Returns — Vendor-documented - **Vendor capability:** Tidio documents Procedures, step-by-step workflows Lyro follows for a specific situation, naming refund requests as the example; a step can call the merchant's systems through Actions or create a ticket for the team. _(Vendor-reported, checked 3 Oct 2026; source: [Lyro - the conversational AI agent (Tidio Help Center)](https://help.tidio.com/hc/en-us/articles/9003475527196-Lyro-the-conversational-AI-agent); claim id: `lyro-fit-returns-vendor`)_ > No independent report of Lyro handling a return or refund was found. The vendor's own handoff examples also show refund and cancellation requests escalated to a human, so how much of a refund flow Lyro completes depends on how the merchant configures it. ### Product questions — Caveat documented - **Vendor capability:** Tidio states Lyro automatically scrapes a business's support content to use as its knowledge base and can provide product recommendations. _(Vendor-reported, checked 20 Sept 2026; source: [Lyro AI Agent (Tidio)](https://www.tidio.com/lyro/); claim id: `lyro-fit-pq-vendor`)_ - **Independent report:** A Shopify merchant wrote that Lyro has learned their product range, delivery options and returns and can handle the bulk of their questions. _(Independent report, published 1 Jun 2026, checked 20 Sept 2026; source: [Tidio Live Chat and AI Chatbots reviews, page 2 (Shopify App Store)](https://apps.shopify.com/tidio-chat/reviews?page=2); claim id: `lyro-fit-pq-ind-1`)_ - **Independent report:** Another Shopify merchant wrote that Lyro solved many queries before they became an email ticket. _(Independent report, published 11 Jun 2026, checked 20 Sept 2026; source: [Tidio Live Chat and AI Chatbots reviews, page 2 (Shopify App Store)](https://apps.shopify.com/tidio-chat/reviews?page=2); claim id: `lyro-fit-pq-ind-2`)_ - **Independent report of failure:** A Trustpilot reviewer reported that Lyro, as deployed on Tidio's own site, can barely answer any help questions. _(Independent report, published 9 Aug 2025, checked 20 Sept 2026; source: [Tidio reviews (Trustpilot)](https://www.trustpilot.com/review/tidio.com); claim id: `lyro-fit-pq-fail`)_ > The independent evidence is genuinely mixed: several Shopify merchants report Lyro handling the bulk of product questions, while a Trustpilot reviewer reports it failing on Tidio's own site. Contrary evidence outranks capability claims under the rubric, so this reads poor; both sides are listed so a reader can weigh them. ### Account issues — Not established No public source was found that settles this. ### Complaints — Not established No public source was found that settles this. ### Human handoff — External report - **Vendor capability:** Tidio states users can set flexible handoff and escalation rules and that Lyro creates a ticket in the connected support solution so a human agent can answer. _(Vendor-reported, checked 20 Sept 2026; source: [Lyro AI Agent (Tidio)](https://www.tidio.com/lyro/); claim id: `lyro-fit-handoff-vendor`)_ - **Independent report:** A Shopify merchant described the agent as able to answer repetitive questions automatically and escalate questions when needed. _(Independent report, published 21 Aug 2026, checked 20 Sept 2026; source: [Tidio Live Chat and AI Chatbots reviews (Shopify App Store)](https://apps.shopify.com/tidio-chat/reviews); claim id: `lyro-fit-handoff-ind-1`)_ ### Small businesses — External report - **Vendor capability:** Tidio sells Lyro self-serve with a no-credit-card seven-day trial, 50 lifetime free conversations and entry pricing from $32.50 a month, with no minimum seat or annual commitment stated. _(Vendor-reported, checked 20 Sept 2026; source: [Tidio pricing](https://www.tidio.com/pricing/); claim id: `lyro-fit-small-vendor`)_ - **Independent report:** A small Shopify store reported an AI resolution rate of around 90% after six months on the app. _(Independent report, published 16 Sept 2026, checked 20 Sept 2026; source: [Tidio Live Chat and AI Chatbots reviews (Shopify App Store)](https://apps.shopify.com/tidio-chat/reviews); claim id: `lyro-fit-small-ind-1`)_ - **Independent report:** A small Australian merchant wrote that Lyro has learned their product range, delivery options and returns and can handle the bulk of their questions. _(Independent report, published 1 Jun 2026, checked 20 Sept 2026; source: [Tidio Live Chat and AI Chatbots reviews, page 2 (Shopify App Store)](https://apps.shopify.com/tidio-chat/reviews?page=2); claim id: `lyro-fit-small-ind-2`)_ > Independent evidence for the small-business segment is unusually dense here because Lyro is distributed through the Shopify App Store, where reviewers self-identify as small merchants. ### Mid-market — Not established No public source was found that settles this. ### Enterprise — Not established No public source was found that settles this. ## Product information | Attribute | Breeze Customer Agent | Lyro | | --- | --- | --- | | Deployment model | The agent is a cloud service inside HubSpot and requires at least one Facebook, WhatsApp, or live chat channel connected to the HubSpot conversations inbox or help desk before it can be deployed. (Vendor-reported, checked 20 Sept 2026) | A hosted agent added to a website via the Tidio widget; the vendor states it can be added in a few clicks without technical knowledge. (Vendor-reported, checked 20 Sept 2026) | | Channels | HubSpot lists live chat, email, forms, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and inbound voice calls as channels the agent can handle. (Vendor-reported, checked 20 Sept 2026) | Tidio documents Lyro answering on the website chat widget by default, and optionally on Facebook Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp once those are integrated with Tidio, and on incoming email tickets from connected mailboxes. (Vendor-reported, checked 3 Oct 2026) | | Languages | HubSpot states the agent is available in all HubSpot-supported languages, without publishing a specific count or list on the product page. (Vendor-reported, checked 20 Sept 2026) | Tidio lists 48 supported languages for Lyro, says it detects the customer's language and replies in it natively rather than translating through English, and lets a business restrict Lyro to a chosen subset with a default fallback language. (Vendor-reported, checked 3 Oct 2026) | | Help desk and CRM integrations | The agent operates within HubSpot's own conversations inbox and help desk; HubSpot's documentation describes no integration with third-party helpdesk products. (Vendor-reported, checked 20 Sept 2026) | Tidio states Lyro can connect with Zendesk, Intercom, Salesforce and more than 20 platforms and can run alongside an existing support solution. (Vendor-reported, checked 20 Sept 2026) | | Knowledge sources | HubSpot states the agent draws on synced knowledge base articles, website content, CRM data, historical conversations, and unstructured sources such as PDFs and meeting transcripts. (Vendor-reported, checked 20 Sept 2026) | Tidio states Lyro automatically scrapes a business's support content and uses it as its knowledge base. (Vendor-reported, checked 20 Sept 2026) | | Actions in backend systems | HubSpot states the agent can take action in the customer's CRM in addition to answering questions, without publishing a list of the specific actions available. (Vendor-reported, checked 20 Sept 2026) | Tidio describes Smart Actions covering order updates, lead qualification and product recommendations as the actions Lyro performs beyond answering. (Vendor-reported, checked 20 Sept 2026) | | Human handoff | HubSpot documents that the agent hands conversations to a human with full context when its confidence is low, when escalation rules are met, or when the visitor asks for a person. (Vendor-reported, checked 20 Sept 2026) | Tidio states users can set flexible handoff and escalation rules and that Lyro creates a ticket in the connected support solution for a human agent. (Vendor-reported, checked 20 Sept 2026) | | Target customer size | Access requires a HubSpot Professional or Enterprise subscription, listed at $90 and $150 per seat per month annually, with Professional including 3,000 HubSpot Credits and Enterprise 5,000. (Vendor-reported, checked 20 Sept 2026) | Published self-serve pricing runs from 50 free lifetime conversations and $32.50 a month up to 1,000 conversations a month, above which Tidio directs buyers to sales, indicating a small-business entry point. (Vendor-reported, checked 20 Sept 2026) | | Vendor-reported performance claims | HubSpot advertises a 70% average resolution rate (90% for top teams), 74% more tickets closed, and an 84% higher ticket resolution rate, all figures self-reported and not independently verified. (Vendor-reported, checked 20 Sept 2026) | Tidio claims customers automate around 67% of customer inquiries with Lyro on average, and cites one case study with a 97% decrease in average response time. (Vendor-reported, checked 20 Sept 2026) | Full source links for each attribute are in the per-agent records linked above. ## Industry comparison An industry state says where the cited sources place the product, not how well it performed there. The same four states and the same rubric apply. Industry entries cite claims published in the agent's own record, by id, so a source is never stored twice and the two copies can never disagree. An industry with no entry is unknown, which is a gap in the public record rather than a finding. | Industry | Breeze Customer Agent | Lyro | | --- | --- | --- | | Retail and e-commerce | Not established | External report | | Financial services | Not established | Not established | | Telecommunications | Not established | Not established | | Travel and hospitality | Not established | Not established | | Healthcare | Not established | Not established | | Public sector and education | Not established | Not established | | Logistics and delivery | Not established | Not established | Evidence for each industry is listed per agent below. ### Breeze Customer Agent: industry evidence ### Retail and e-commerce — Not established No reviewed source places this product in this industry. ### Financial services — Not established No reviewed source places this product in this industry. ### Telecommunications — Not established No reviewed source places this product in this industry. ### Travel and hospitality — Not established No reviewed source places this product in this industry. ### Healthcare — Not established No reviewed source places this product in this industry. ### Public sector and education — Not established No reviewed source places this product in this industry. ### Logistics and delivery — Not established No reviewed source places this product in this industry. ### Lyro: industry evidence ### Retail and e-commerce — External report - A Shopify merchant using the app for six months reported an AI resolution rate of around 90%. _(Independent report, published 16 Sept 2026, checked 20 Sept 2026; source: [Tidio Live Chat and AI Chatbots reviews (Shopify App Store)](https://apps.shopify.com/tidio-chat/reviews); claim id: `lyro-strength-merchant-resolution`)_ - A Shopify merchant wrote that Lyro has learned their product range, delivery options and returns and can handle the bulk of their questions. _(Independent report, published 1 Jun 2026, checked 20 Sept 2026; source: [Tidio Live Chat and AI Chatbots reviews, page 2 (Shopify App Store)](https://apps.shopify.com/tidio-chat/reviews?page=2); claim id: `lyro-fit-pq-ind-1`)_ - A Shopify merchant described the agent as able to answer repetitive questions automatically and escalate questions when needed. _(Independent report, published 21 Aug 2026, checked 20 Sept 2026; source: [Tidio Live Chat and AI Chatbots reviews (Shopify App Store)](https://apps.shopify.com/tidio-chat/reviews); claim id: `lyro-fit-handoff-ind-1`)_ > The independent evidence is Shopify App Store reviews written by merchants running the product. That is first-hand and unpaid, and it is also self-selected: reviewers are the merchants who chose to write. ### Financial services — Not established No reviewed source places this product in this industry. ### Telecommunications — Not established No reviewed source places this product in this industry. ### Travel and hospitality — Not established No reviewed source places this product in this industry. ### Healthcare — Not established No reviewed source places this product in this industry. ### Public sector and education — Not established No reviewed source places this product in this industry. ### Logistics and delivery — Not established No reviewed source places this product in this industry. ## Breeze Customer Agent: evidence base The independent evidence behind these states comes mainly from analysts and trade press.
