Where Tide has addresses
Who Tide suits
Tide is a workspace operator, so the address comes attached to a real building with meeting rooms and desks. You pay for that whether you use it or not. It suits people who will occasionally want somewhere to sit or to meet a client, and is poor value if you only need the address.
There is a single address, so this only works if that location suits you.
What we noticed
Tide and Hoxton Mix are therefore NOT independent alternatives, and Tide's £22.99+VAT/month is a markdown on Hoxton Mix's own £24.99/month direct price while the annual (£190+VAT vs Hoxton Mix's £249.99) is materially cheaper through Tide. That is a genuine arbitrage worth surfacing to users. Tide also sells company registration at £14.99 and bundles secretarial services; those are separate products. The support page does not state what is included, any setup fee or a minimum term.
Things to check before you buy
These came up while we were collecting this provider's prices. None of them means avoid it, but each is worth confirming yourself.

Tide: common questions
How much does Tide cost?
Its cheapest published plan works out at about £22.99 a month. Check whether post forwarding and a director's service address are included, because on most plans in this market they are extra.
Can I use Tide as my registered office?
Only on a plan that explicitly includes registered office use. Several providers sell a business address that is not valid at Companies House, so check the plan table above rather than assuming.
Who owns Tide?
It is part of Tide Platform Ltd. The Virtual Office Address service is white-labelled and powered by The Hoxton Mix, per Hoxton Mix's own announcement. Worth knowing if you are comparing it against what looks like a competitor but is actually the same company.
