Gorgias

E-commerce Helpdesk
From $10/mo (50 tickets) + $0.90–$1.00 per AI interaction

Ticket-based pricing is unpredictable — costs spike during seasonal sales. AI interactions billed separately at $0.90–$1.00 each. No AI intelligence reports, no pattern detection, no revenue risk alerts.

Zendesk

Enterprise Support Suite
$55–$169/agent/mo + $50/agent for Advanced AI

Per-agent pricing that scales brutally with team size. No native Shopify integration. AI is an expensive add-on. Weeks to configure. And no intelligence layer — Zendesk tracks response times, not what customers are actually telling you.

$79–$109/agent/mo (no free plan)

General-Purpose Helpdesk
$15–$79/agent/mo + $49/100 AI sessions (unpredictable)

Per-agent pricing plus unpredictable session-based AI costs. No native Shopify integration. No ecom order management. No AI intelligence reports. Getting increasingly expensive the more you use AI.
