1. **HIPAA compliance required immediately**
- Tidio does not provide HIPAA compliance documentation as of the review and does not claim HIPAA-certified offerings.
2. **Requirement for predictable per-seat pricing at scale**
- Tidio's quota-based billing (billable conversations, flows reach, AI conversations) may be harder to forecast than flat per-seat models.
3. **Large support organizations needing enterprise-grade ITSM/helpdesk depth**
- Consider enterprise-focused platforms when SLA enforcement, complex routing, and governance are central requirements.
4. **Requirement for only basic live chat**
- Tools with a free core live chat product (for example, tawk.to) may be more appropriate.
5. **Ecommerce teams that need deep Shopify actions within the helpdesk**
- Ecommerce-first vendors may provide tighter platform integrations; validate via proof-of-concept.
