Treat those rankings as ads. Below is what I'd actually recommend, with pricing I verified.\n\n## If you're a Shopify/BigCommerce store under ~25 agents\n\n**1. Gorgias** - The default for ecommerce, and the one I'd start with. Roughly 40% of the largest Shopify brands use it. The reason is the native Shopify integration: agents edit orders, issue refunds, and see full purchase history inside the ticket. It has a native Voice channel (despite what some competitor-written reviews claim), though voice is genuinely its weakest channel - fine for moderate call volume, not for a 50-seat phone room. Pricing is ticket-based, from $10/mo (50 tickets) to $50/mo (300 tickets), which is far cheaper than per-agent pricing if your call volume is low.

It's a proper cloud phone system that integrates cleanly", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
