Gorgias is a strong helpdesk for e-commerce, with deep Shopify integration and AI features tuned for online stores. If your business is centered on Shopify and you want support tooling built around it, Gorgias is a focused, well-suited choice.

MessageAgent is built to be platform-agnostic and to do more than support. One AI brain, with shared memory and a lightweight CRM, works across SMS, WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook DM, web chat, and email, and it qualifies leads, books, and upsells as well as answering questions, so you are not limited to a Shopify-centered support flow. Pricing is a flat, predictable subscription rather than per-AI-interaction fees, with carrier and Meta message fees passed through at cost, and compliance is built in: AI disclosure, TCPA opt-out, WhatsApp templates, and clean human handoff.
