Small Shopify support teams (1–5)
Tidio alternative for Shopify email support
Clearbox is a Tidio alternative for Shopify teams that handle support over email rather than live chat: a shared support@ inbox with native order context, assignment, and per-seat pricing.
Tidio is chat- and bot-first. If most of your customer questions arrive by email and you want order and refund context beside each thread, Clearbox is the email-first option for 1–5 person Shopify teams.

FAQ
Is Clearbox a good Tidio alternative?
Yes if your support is email-led. Clearbox centralises support@ with Shopify order context; Tidio is stronger for live chat and bots.
Does Clearbox do live chat?
Clearbox focuses on shared email support with order context. If chat is your main channel, Tidio may fit better.
Can my small team avoid duplicate replies?
Yes—shared ownership, live presence and assignment prevent two agents answering the same customer.
How is pricing structured?
Per seat and predictable, so a busy week does not spike your bill the way conversation-based pricing can.
