The short answer
Is Ticketdesk AI a good Gorgias alternative?
Ticketdesk AI covers the help desk work most teams use Gorgias for (a shared queue, automation rules, SLAs and canned responses) and adds an AI agent that resolves tickets on its own instead of only suggesting replies. Plans start at $29 a month with three team members and AI credits included, and the API and MCP server are available on every plan.
When Gorgias may fit better: You sell on Shopify and want order edits, refunds and returns handled inside the help desk.
