Gorgias is built for online stores and prices like it. Instead of charging per agent, it charges by monthly tickets, so a brand can add seasonal staff without adding seats. The Starter helpdesk costs $10 per month for 50 tickets and three user seats, with $0.40 for each extra ticket, and the pricing page bundles it with the AI Agent for $40. Basic, at $77 per month billed annually with the AI Agent, covers 300 tickets, and higher plans allow up to 500 seats. The AI Agent is billed by automated interaction, with $1.50 per interaction past the included amount. Pro adds revenue analytics, which shows how support conversations affect sales. The model favors stores with many agents and modest volume. A busy brand with thousands of tickets pays more than it would on a per-seat tool, and non-ecommerce teams get little from the order-focused features. For a Shopify brand starting out, it is the obvious first choice.

Who it is for

Shopify and online store brands that want support tied to order data.
