The honest brief
Gorgias
Ecommerce-native helpdesk: AI Agent pulls Shopify order/catalog data and is priced per resolution, not per seat.
- Deep native Shopify integration
- Order, tracking, catalog beside each ticket
- Multichannel inbox (email, chat, social)
- Unlimited seats, resolution-based pricing
- AI Agent effectively Shopify-only
- AI charge + ticket can double-bill
- No native voice/telephony
- Deep stack integration needs custom dev
Pylon
Built B2B-first — shared Slack and Teams channels are first-class support queues, not an afterthought bolted onto a B2C helpdesk.
- Unifies email, chat, and community too
- Support + CS + engineering in one
- AI agent grounded in your docs
- Modern alternative to legacy desks
- No free tier; 3-seat minimum
- Per-seat pricing adds up
- Younger ecosystem than incumbents
