FAQ
Questions. Answered.
How does Tuco AI Mini compare to Blooio Shared?
Tuco AI Mini is $59/month with 50 messages/day, full CRM integrations (HubSpot, Salesforce, Google Sheets), message templates, and analytics. Blooio Shared is $89/month with shared number, limited messages, and limited CRM support. For most small teams, Tuco AI Mini offers better value and clearer limits.
What does "email-based" mean for Tuco AI Mini?
Mini sends via an email-based channel that appears as iMessage to recipients (same "maybe: John" style). There's no visible difference from phone-based sending; you don't need a phone number. It's ideal for solos and small teams who don't need a dedicated line.
Can I switch from Blooio to Tuco AI easily?
Yes. You'll export contacts from Blooio and import into Tuco AI (CSV or CRM sync). Recreate your sequences in Tuco AI; we have templates and integrations to speed this up. No long-term contract on Mini—monthly or annual.
When is Blooio a better fit?
If you specifically want a shared phone number and Blooio's workflow fits your team, it may be worth considering. If you want lower cost, clearer limits, and stronger CRM integrations, Tuco AI Mini is the better fit for most users.
