Supportify vs Gorgias

One meter instead of two.

Gorgias bills an AI resolution twice — once as a resolution, once as a helpdesk ticket. Supportify charges once, with no seat fees and no ticket bundles.

The real difference

Gorgias is the incumbent Shopify helpdesk, and it is a capable one. The friction is structural rather than functional: its helpdesk is sold in monthly ticket bundles, and its AI Agent is billed separately per resolution — so an inquiry the AI handles end to end draws down both meters at once.

Supportify has one meter. You are charged per conversation the AI answers and nothing else: no ticket bundle to outgrow, no seat fee, and escalating to a human ticket adds nothing to the bill.

Credit where due

Where Gorgias is stronger

  • A far larger app and integration ecosystem, built up over years
  • Mature reporting, macros and agent-workflow tooling for larger support teams
  • Works across Shopify, BigCommerce and Magento if you run more than one platform
  • A much bigger install base, which means more third-party expertise available to hire

Teams with several full-time support agents who need mature workflow tooling, or merchants running more than one ecommerce platform.

Choose Supportify if

Shopify merchants who want the AI to close most inquiries outright and would rather not pay a seat fee or a ticket bundle to get there.

FAQ

Questions merchants ask

  • For AI-resolved volume, yes. Gorgias charges $0.90 per resolution on annual billing ($1.00 monthly) and that resolution also draws down your helpdesk ticket bundle, so a fully automated answer is billed on two meters. Supportify charges $0.60 once, with no helpdesk plan underneath it. Where Gorgias can work out better is if most of your volume is handled by humans rather than AI — you are then paying for tickets you would pay for anyway.

  • Yes. Supportify installs as a Shopify app and can run on your storefront widget while Gorgias continues to handle email, or the other way around. Nothing forces a cutover date, and there is no contract to unwind on our side. Importing your Gorgias history is a copy, not a sync: running it again brings over tickets opened in Gorgias since the last run, but not new replies on tickets it already brought over. If you run both for a while, do the import when you switch Gorgias off, so nothing is added there afterwards.

  • Your ticket history comes with you; your macros do not. Connect Gorgias with an API key under Migrations and your tickets are imported with their full threads — customer messages, agent replies and internal notes — along with their tags, status and the name of the agent each was assigned to. By default, threads quiet for more than 30 days arrive closed, so the inbox does not open on years of old work. Attachments stay behind, and macros are not imported: recreate the ones you still use as saved replies. The AI builds its knowledge from your live Shopify data plus the policies and FAQs you add, so it does not need the archive to answer accurately from day one.
