Full Gorgias AI profile and vendor sources · Checked 2026-09-02
The table below preserves each vendor’s scope and qualifiers. An unlisted feature is unverified here; it is not a claim that the feature is unavailable.
Before you decide
Botpress: Subscription plus conversation packs and AI usage beyond the included allowance. Plus packs cost $65 per 100 conversations; Team packs $50 per 100. Paid plans automatically add conversation packs and $10 AI credit grants near the limit. AI and human-assisted conversations both count; added packs recur until removed. Gorgias AI: Helpdesk ticket subscription plus an AI interaction allowance. Basic includes 300 tickets/30 AI interactions, Pro 2,000/190, and Advanced 5,000/530. Extra helpdesk tickets and AI usage are separate costs. Compare the AI-enabled monthly plan, rather than the helpdesk-only headline. Ask both vendors to quote the same expected workload, required channels, and implementation scope. Include required subscriptions and usage charges before comparing the total; the listed starting prices alone may cover different work.
The recorded sources for Botpress include websites; documents; knowledge bases; structured data; API tools. For Gorgias AI, they include store catalog; orders; policies; help center; customer profile. Ask each vendor to demonstrate ingestion or live access for the exact system you use, with permissions and refresh behavior. A source missing from this directory is not proof that a vendor cannot support it.
Use the same sample of real support requests, approved knowledge, and escalation rules in both pilots. Can it cite or restrict answers to approved knowledge? What happens when the agent is uncertain? Which actions can it complete beyond answering? Record answer quality, completed tasks, human handoffs, and total cost in the buyer worksheet. Check these specific cautions before launch: Botpress: Separate AI spend can make costs less predictable; production quality depends on workflow design and model configuration. Gorgias AI: AI interactions can also count toward helpdesk ticket volume; model total usage cost.
