Gorgias
Gorgias — The clear first pick for a Shopify-centered ecommerce brand because agents can see order context and perform actions such as edits, refunds, and cancellations directly beside the support conversation.
ChatGPT
Help Scout
Help Scout — My favorite for small-to-mid-sized, email-centric teams that want a humane, low-friction shared inbox plus a solid help center and chat widget rather than a sprawling service-operations suite.

Where the models split.
Across the 1 category Gorgias and Help Scout both appear in, the models never break ranks: in each one, the same brand leads on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity alike.
No model runs against the grain here: each of the four ranks Help Scout ahead at least as often as not, with Gemini the most lopsided.
