The real math

Gorgias can't automate your way out of payroll. We can.

Gorgias AI automates 10-20% and charges $1 per resolution on top of your ticket fee. You still need every agent. Richpanel AI resolves 50%+, so you genuinely cut your team in half.

Why Gorgias costs more than you think

Gorgias bills you for 50% of tickets. They only resolve 15%.

Gorgias charges a $1 AI fee on every ticket their AI touches — about 50% of your volume — even though they only fully resolve ~15%. You pay 3.3× per actually-resolved ticket. Plus every AI-touched ticket also incurs the standard ticket fee. Richpanel charges per AI conversation at a flat rate, no double-dip, no billing-vs-resolution gap.

Gorgias AI ticket: ~$0.18 ticket fee + $1.00 AI fee × 50% touch rate = ~$0.68 per ticket on average
Per actually-resolved ticket: ~$1.18 / 0.30 = ~$3.93 (since only ~15%/50% = 30% of touched tickets are resolved)
Richpanel AI conversation: ~0.5 credits = $0.23–$0.28 per conversation

Agent payroll assumes $12/hr × 176 hrs/mo ($2,112/agent). Gorgias: monthly billing, Pro/Advanced plan, AI Agent at $1 per AI-touched ticket (~50% of volume per Gorgias's billing logic), ~15% actual resolution rate, SMS $0.56/ticket, Phone $0.50/ticket. Richpanel: credit-based pricing, Gemini 2.5 Flash (~0.46 cr/conv), AI charged on 100% of conversations it touches (50% actual resolution), retained agents = ceil(current × 0.5). Extra credits via packs ($700 for 1K, $3,250 for 5K, $6,000 for 10K, $15,000 for 25K). Channel split: Email 45%, Chat 30%, Phone 15%, SMS 10%.

Honest answers

What we hear before every switch to Richpanel.

What if your AI sounds robotic? My customers will hate it. +
Most common worry. The live demo resolves it in two minutes. The AI lifts your brand voice from your own website copy and learns from your past tickets. The most common reaction from CX leads: "that's actually good." Usually from people who've been burned by other AI tools.
I'm in the middle of an annual contract. What happens? +
We buy it out. Up to 100% of your remaining term. No fine print. You move to Richpanel, we eat the cost of the months you have left. Check eligibility on the demo call. Most brands qualify.
Will AI really resolve 50% of tickets in 60 days? +
Median brand on Richpanel today: 60-80% resolution at maturity. 50% in 60 days is the floor, not the ceiling. If we miss it, you get every dollar back. We've earned the right to put skin in the game.
How is pricing different from Gorgias? +
Gorgias charges per ticket for the helpdesk, then charges $1 per AI resolution on top (double-charging), plus $0.41-$0.80 per SMS ticket, plus per-seat phone add-ons. Costs scale unpredictably. Richpanel uses credit-based pricing: one plan covers the helpdesk + seats, credits cover AI conversations at ~$0.30–$0.42 each, SMS is included. No surcharges, no double-dip.
What about Shopify integration depth? We rely on it. +
Same depth. Shopify, Recharge, Loop, AfterShip, TikTok Shop, Klaviyo all native. Plus Amazon native (Gorgias requires an external app). Your tags, macros, and custom fields migrate over. We'll show you side-by-side on the demo.
How long does migration actually take? +
Live in under 2 weeks. Your team keeps working on your current platform while we move everything in parallel. Historical tickets, brand voice, SOPs, integrations all imported. We run side-by-side until you're confident, then you flip.

Stop overpaying for underperforming AI.

20 minutes. We'll show you the total CX cost math on your actual ticket volume, plus a live AI demo on your store. No slide deck. No commitment.
