Pricing entry tiers: Richpanel: AI Customer Support at Free trial available, Gorgias: AI, Helpdesk & Chat at Free trial available. Check each app's tier structure for the capacity limits you actually need before deciding — the headline number is the same shape, but the gating shape per tier (apps, orders, integrations) varies. Gorgias: AI, Helpdesk & Chat has the larger user base (656 reviews vs 128), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns.
