EzyConn vs Gorgias: 2026 Ecommerce Support Comparison
Gorgias was built around Shopify. It is the default ecommerce help desk for D2C brands. EzyConn is multi-channel AI chat that also serves ecommerce, without locking you into Shopify-only workflows. If you sell across more than one platform, an AI chatbot on your storefront that isn't tied to a single backend starts to matter.
Side-by-side
Where Gorgias is genuinely strong
- Tightest Shopify integration on the market.
- Pre-built D2C macros and workflows.
- Strong order-mod automation (refunds, address change).
- Best-in-class for Shopify Plus brands.
Where EzyConn pulls ahead
- Multi-platform support (not just Shopify).
- Multi-model AI vs single-model.
- Predictable pricing, since Gorgias bills by ticket.
- Microsoft Teams + Slack native.
When Gorgias wins
You are a Shopify-only D2C brand, you want the deepest Shopify integration available, and you are fine with per-ticket billing.
When EzyConn wins
You are multi-platform (Shopify plus WooCommerce plus custom), you want predictable pricing, and you value AI quality over a single deep integration.
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 seat-based at a flat $95/mo on the Growth plan, so 500 conversations and 5,000 conversations cost the same.
Here's a rough comparison at three 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 order, WISMO question, and return in one place. The multi-model AI (GPT-4o and Claude) handled the repetitive order-status and shipping questions, which are the bulk of ecommerce volume, and the flat price meant the next spike didn't change the bill. The tradeoff is honest: they gave up a couple of Shopify-specific automations that Gorgias does better. For a single-platform Shopify Plus brand, that tradeoff can easily go the other way.
FAQs
Is the Shopify integration as deep as Gorgias?
It's strong, but Gorgias has more Shopify-specific automations built up over years. EzyConn goes broader across platforms instead of deeper on one.
How does ticket-based billing compare?
EzyConn is seat-based at $95/mo flat. Gorgias scales by ticket, which is fine at low volume but gets expensive at high volume or during seasonal spikes.
Can EzyConn handle refunds and order changes?
Yes, though Gorgias's pre-built D2C macros for refunds and address changes are more polished out of the box. On EzyConn you wire these into your own flows.
Can I try it before switching?
Yes. The free plan includes 2 seats and 100 AI conversations a month with no vendor branding, so you can point it at one storefront and measure deflection before committing.
