Engine by engine
Tidio vs Drift: what the data says
When buyers ask AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini to recommend live chat software, Tidio is recommended more often than Drift — scoring 29/100 for AI visibility versus 22/100. Tidio shows up in 40% of AI answers to real buyer questions; Drift shows up in 30%.
The gap is widest on ChatGPT, where Tidio is clearly favoured: Tidio is recommended 60% of the time and Drift 40%. Because each engine draws on different sources, a brand can lead on one and trail on another — which is why it pays to track all three rather than assume one result holds everywhere.
In practice, an AI assistant asked “What is the best live chat software for small businesses?” is more likely to put Tidio on its shortlist. Drift is largely invisible in AI answers for live chat software — and since these shortlists are increasingly where buying decisions start, that's a gap worth closing.
