Gorgias
E-commerce-focused helpdesk with deep Shopify integration and an AI Agent for order-related queries.
Our take
Built specifically for e-commerce support with deep Shopify integration, though its AI Agent pricing effectively double-bills each automated conversation.
Best for
Shopify and e-commerce stores that want support tooling deeply integrated with order data and an AI agent for common questions.
Pros
- Deep Shopify and e-commerce integrations (order status, refunds, etc.)
- Helpdesk plans start as low as $10/month
- AI Agent can resolve common order-related queries automatically
Cons
- AI interactions are billed twice - as an AI charge ($0.90-1.00) and a helpdesk ticket ($0.36-0.40)
- Higher helpdesk tiers (Pro/Advanced) get expensive quickly
How it compares
More e-commerce-specific than Intercom or Zendesk, but its AI pricing structure is one of the least transparent in the category.
Full review
Gorgias is a customer support platform built specifically for e-commerce, with deep integrations into Shopify, BigCommerce, and Magento — its AI features focus on automating common e-commerce support tasks like order status questions, returns, and exchanges using real order data.
Because Gorgias pulls live order and customer data from your e-commerce platform, its AI automations can do things generic chatbots can't — like automatically processing a return request or answering "where's my order" with the actual tracking status, not just generic information from a help article.
Pricing is based on a combination of plan tier and number of AI-automated responses, with plans starting around $10/month scaling up significantly for higher volumes. For Shopify and e-commerce stores specifically, Gorgias's order-data-aware automations solve problems that platform-agnostic tools like Tidio or Chatbase can't address as directly.
