Ada
- +Reasoning Engine takes real actions (refunds, account updates) end to end, not just FAQ answers

- +Real autonomy at the SMB tier: resolves questions and executes Smart Actions, not just deflection
- +Transparent public per-conversation pricing plus a resolution-rate guarantee on higher tiers lowers buyer risk
- +Drops into existing stacks via Lyro Connect and MCP, with no rip-and-replace
- -Lyro is a paid add-on on top of the base subscription, so true cost is higher than the headline
- -Steep pricing jumps between mid tiers
