When EzyConn wins
You are multi-platform (Shopify plus WooCommerce plus custom), you want predictable pricing, and you value AI quality.
The pricing math that trips people up
Per-ticket billing feels cheap when you sign up and gets expensive right when things are going well. Gorgias counts a billable ticket for conversations that need a response, so a good sale month or a viral moment inflates your support bill at the exact time you least want a surprise. EzyConn is a flat $95/mo on Professional, so 500 conversations and 5,000 conversations cost the same.
Here's a rough comparison at two volumes so you can sanity-check your own numbers.
Numbers vary by plan and add-ons, so check your own invoice. The pattern holds though: flat pricing rewards you for growing, per-ticket pricing taxes it. You can see the full breakdown on our pricing page.
A realistic example
A home-goods brand sells on Shopify and a separate WooCommerce site for wholesale. Gorgias covered the Shopify store beautifully, but the WooCommerce side was a second-class citizen, so agents jumped between two tools. During a Black Friday spike they did about 9,000 conversations in a month, and the per-ticket line on their invoice roughly doubled.
Moving both storefronts onto EzyConn put every conversation from both stores, WISMO questions and returns included, in one place. The multi-model AI (GPT-4o and Claude) handled the repetitive shipping and returns questions, which are the bulk of ecommerce volume, and the flat price meant the next spike didn't change the bill.
FAQs
How does ticket-based billing compare?
EzyConn is a flat $95/mo. Gorgias scales by ticket, which is fine at low volume but gets expensive at high volume or during seasonal spikes.
Can I try it before switching?
Yes. The free plan includes 2 seats and 500 messages a month, so you can point it at one storefront and measure deflection before committing.
