Why teams choose ovellan
What you get by switching
EU-hosted and GDPR-proof
Your data stays in the EU with a DPA available, which matters for European businesses.
Real actions, not just chat
It can check orders and stock, book appointments and track deliveries, not only reply with text.
Honest instead of guessing
It answers from your own content with sources and says "I don't know" when it should.
When Tidio might fit you better
If you want the cheapest possible entry point for basic live chat and you are comfortable with a global, English-first tool, Tidio is a reasonable pick. Very small shops that mostly need a simple chat widget and are not focused on fully localized quality or EU data residency may prefer it.
