Comparison

HelpBird vs Gorgias.

Helpdesk and customer support platform built for e-commerce and Shopify.

Gorgias

Gorgias is an excellent e-commerce-native helpdesk with deep Shopify integration, order and refund actions inside tickets, and revenue attribution that few rivals match. The honest tradeoff is its ticket-volume billing plus separate per-resolution AI fees, which can get expensive and unpredictable as volume grows, and it is overkill if you are not running an online store.

Best for: Shopify, BigCommerce, and Magento merchants who want a support desk tightly integrated with their store, orders, and revenue tracking.

Pricing: Plans run from $10/mo (Starter, 50 tickets) up through roughly $60, $360 and $900/mo, each with a monthly ticket cap and overage of around $0.36-$0.40 per ticket. The AI Agent is billed separately at roughly $0.90-$1.00 per resolved conversation on top of ticket costs.

HelpBird

Best for: Non-store or budget-conscious teams that want predictable flat pricing instead of ticket-metered and per-resolution charges.

Pricing: HelpBird charges a flat $3/mo or $9/mo with unlimited agents and no per-ticket metering or separate AI-resolution fees.
