Honest Comparison · April 2026

Kriseena vs Gorgias

The #1 support platform for ecommerce

Our Verdict

Gorgias is the best option if you're exclusively on Shopify and have predictable, low ticket volume. The moment you have a sale event or run on any other platform, the pricing and AI quality become serious problems.

AI Capability Deep-Dive

Gorgias AI — "Gorgias AI Agent"Moderate

Shopify order lookup is tight. AI Agent charges $1.00/resolved conversation AND counts toward ticket cap simultaneously. Users report AI responses feeling robotic.

What Gorgias Users Are Saying

The following are verified user reviews from G2, Capterra, and Trustpilot — published publicly. We have not selected only negative reviews — these represent the most common themes raised across the platform. Verified as of April 2026.

"Our Black Friday spike went through the plan limit in 6 hours. We were charged overages for every ticket after that. Completely unpredictable."

Verified G2 review

"AI resolutions cost $1.00 and count toward the ticket cap. We're being double charged for the same conversation."

Verified Capterra review

"AI feels too AI. Customers kept asking to speak to a human. The responses were just not it."

Verified Reddit — r/shopify

"AI went from solving 95% of issues to failing 100% of cases seemingly overnight. No explanation from support."

Verified G2 review

"Support takes days to respond. During our busiest period we had a billing issue that went unresolved for 2 weeks."

Verified Capterra review

"Completely useless if you're not on Shopify. We run WooCommerce and half the features simply don't work."
