Is Gorgias worth it?
Still the default Shopify helpdesk for our panel — the ticket workflow is excellent, but the add-on pricing draws consistent fire.
Across 39 verified merchants and agency operators, 79% are satisfied with Gorgias. What earns it that position is the Shopify integration: order history, customer details and refund actions sit inside the ticket, so agents resolve without switching tabs. Macros and automation rules take measurable volume off the queue, email, chat, social and SMS land in one inbox, and reviewers repeatedly note how quickly new agents get up to speed compared to Zendesk. The friction is commercial rather than functional. Pricing is the most frequent complaint — teams feel penalized for growth as ticket volume rises, and the features that matter most, automation rules and the AI agent, are priced as add-ons that make the true cost hard to predict. The AI agent divides opinion: some report real deflection, others find it needs heavy training. A cluttered UI and occasional integration breakages round out the list. The verdict: if support volume justifies a dedicated helpdesk, Gorgias remains the strongest Shopify-native option — just price the automation add-ons into the decision from the start, not after.

COST
How much does Gorgias cost?
Gorgias starts at $10/month, with plans at $60, $360 and $900/month scaled to ticket volume rather than seats — a structure reviewers like for teams with part-time agents. The caveat from our panel is consistent: automation rules and the AI agent are add-ons, so model the full stack before committing, since the headline plan price is rarely the final bill.

What merchants say about this app
AI SUMMARY
Merchants regard Gorgias as a top-tier Shopify helpdesk, praising its deep Shopify integration, time-saving macros and automations, and the ability to aggregate tickets from email, chat, social and the store in one place; several call it the gold standard after leaving Zendesk. Support is responsive. The main gripes are the cost of automations, a steep learning curve when setting up custom views, analytics that can be hard to reconcile, and the lack of a desktop app.
