What the models actually said.
The ranking is the answer; these are the words behind it. Every quote is from a recorded model answer — follow the category to read it whole.
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
Zoho Desk
Zoho Desk — A very credible budget-conscious option, particularly for companies already using Zoho, with multi-channel ticketing, telephony, social/messaging support, and the Zia AI assistant; its trade-off is a less polished ecosystem and experience than the leaders above.
