Gorgias is the specialist here: a help desk built for online stores and priced by tickets rather than seats. The help desk alone starts at $10 a month for 50 tickets on Starter and runs to $900 a month for 5,000 tickets on Advanced, with $0.40 or $0.36 per ticket past the limit. Adding the AI Agent lifts Starter to $40 a month with 30 automated interactions, and extra interactions cost $1.50 past your plan's allowance. The AI Agent is pre-trained on 18+ verticals, follows your brand voice and guardrails, and can take actions such as canceling an order or applying a discount. Email, chat, social and a help center are built in, voice and SMS are add-ons, and the comparison lists Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce and 150+ app integrations. Because there are no seat fees, a whole team can answer tickets. The model gets expensive at high ticket counts, and it is not meant for SaaS or IT support.
Who it is for
Shopify, WooCommerce and BigCommerce stores that want support and AI in one bill.
Price
Help desk Starter from $10 per month billed monthly for 50 tickets; with AI Agent from $40 per month.
