SendHub vs Gorgias

Looking for a Gorgias alternative for WhatsApp?

Gorgias has great Shopify integration โ€” but WhatsApp requires their $300/mo Pro plan, and AI double-bills you with per-interaction fees on top of ticket fees.

Why teams switch from Gorgias to SendHub

WhatsApp from $49, not $300

Gorgias locks WhatsApp behind their Pro plan at $300/mo. Their Starter ($10) and Basic ($60) plans don't include WhatsApp at all. SendHub gives you full WhatsApp support โ€” AI replies, broadcasts, multiple numbers โ€” starting at $49/mo on the Growth plan.

No double billing on AI

Gorgias charges per ticket AND per AI interaction. When their AI agent handles a conversation, you pay the ticket fee plus $0.90 for the AI resolution. It's double billing. SendHub charges one flat price โ€” AI replies are included in your plan, no per-interaction surcharges.

Built for WA-primary merchants

Gorgias is an email-first helpdesk that added WhatsApp as a channel. If WhatsApp is your primary customer communication channel โ€” not email โ€” you need a platform built around it. SendHub is WhatsApp-native: AI trained on WA conversations, broadcasts, personal WA support, and more.

Common Gorgias frustrations

Based on G2, Capterra, and user reviews.

"WhatsApp is only available on the Pro plan at $300/mo. We just needed WA support, not the full enterprise suite."

SendHub: SendHub includes full WhatsApp support on the Growth plan at $49/mo. No enterprise plan required.

"The AI agent charges $0.90 per interaction AND we still pay per ticket. It feels like double billing."

SendHub: SendHub charges one flat price. AI replies are included โ€” no per-interaction fees layered on top of your plan.

"Great for Shopify email support, but the WhatsApp integration feels limited compared to dedicated WA tools."

SendHub: SendHub is WhatsApp-native with Shopify integration โ€” not the other way around. Best of both worlds for WA-primary merchants.

"Costs spiral quickly as ticket volume increases. Hard to predict monthly spend."

SendHub: SendHub is flat-rate pricing. $49/mo regardless of ticket volume. Your bill never surprises you.
