Sheridan Buckle Co review for Gorgias: AI, Helpdesk & Chat

April 15, 2026

VERY DISSAPOINTING EXPERIANCE FROM WHAT LOOKS LIKE A GREAT COMPANY TO WORK WITH. READ MY EXPERIANCE We had a very disappointing experience with Gorgias. During the initial sales process, we were told that the platform is complex and evolving, and that it’s completely normal not to know exactly what we’d need upfront. Based on that, we answered our sales people's questions to the best of our ability and were reassured multiple times that we could adjust our plan later once we saw how everything actually worked in real use. Because AI is new to everyone and so we thought we would try it to. However, the contract they put together did not accurately reflect those conversations we had. After getting set up and realizing our needs were different than what was scoped based on questions 6 months into using it, we reached out to make adjustments—just like we were told we could with their salespeople. They quoted us a huge plan, very expensive that we needed this based on our volume of tickets. We were no where near these numbers and AI tickets and they warned us of overages and the expensive overage charges. Then I get an email 4/10/26 that is from Gorgias stating May 10th if you upgrade your plan mid billing cycle you'll pay a one time prorated charge for the upgrade. Well wouldn't this have been nice to know when they quoted me this huge plan and we would have planned accordingly. A lot of things represented to sell me this expensive software changed and was not in the contract that they said was all in there. Along with slow support response times, and when we did get responses, they were not helpful or solution-oriented. Most importantly, they refused to adjust our plan, despite clearly telling us during the sales process that flexibility would be available. It feels like what was promised during the sales call was not honored once we became a customer. If you are considering using Gorgias, make sure every single detail, expectation, and promise is clearly written into your contract is something I would strongly advise and make sure you love that contract because they will not work with you on this to make their app work for you if it is not in there. Do not rely on verbal assurances as in my case. In our experience, what is said during the sales process does not necessarily match how they operate afterward.
