Why teams move from Gorgias to SimpleSupport

Not locked to Shopify

Gorgias is genuinely strong if your support workflow lives inside Shopify. If you sell on a custom storefront, a SaaS, a marketplace or a static site, you're paying for integration depth you'll never use. SimpleSupport drops in anywhere.

You don't get charged per-ticket

Gorgias caps tickets per tier and charges overages. Hit 301 tickets on Basic and the next 300 cost extra. SimpleSupport's Pro is 1,000 tickets/month flat at €15 — predictable bill, no anxious month-end checks.

AI included, not a separate product

Gorgias Automate is a separate tier on top of the helpdesk. SimpleSupport bakes AI replies into Pro (drafts) and Business (auto-send) — grounded on a knowledge doc you write, no add-on bill.
