What Gorgias is good at
- Built for ecommerce and connects to Shopify and BigCommerce.
- The AI Agent handles round-the-clock support plus product recommendations and proactive engagement.
- Voice, SMS and chat land in one helpdesk inbox.
Where Gorgias breaks
- An AI-resolved ticket is billed twice: once as a helpdesk ticket and again as an automated interaction ($0.90 annual or $1.00 monthly).
- Ticket caps are tight (300 tickets on Basic) with $0.36 to $0.40 per extra ticket, so a sale or seasonal spike raises the bill.
- Capterra reviewers say pricing is high, new updates often come as add-ons, and the rules builder gets hard to manage at scale.
When a custom build beats Gorgias
When most tickets are one or two repeat questions such as where is my order, a small custom agent on your store API can avoid paying both a ticket fee and an AI fee per conversation.
Setup
No-code. Someone comfortable with spreadsheets can set it up. No code needed.
