SoundAssured review for Gorgias: AI, Helpdesk & Chat

The biggest issues are the mobile app and Voice (Phone) feature. The mobile app can be glitchy, talk-to-text is unreliable, and Voice doesn’t work through the mobile app. Calls have to be forwarded to another number, so you basically need someone at a computer all day to get the full functionality. Our biggest complaint is spam call billing. Gorgias can identify a call as spam, but it cannot automatically block it. If you ignore the spam call but it leaves a voicemail, you still get charged for a Voice ticket. Once you exceed your allowance, those tickets can get expensive. We pay $1 per Voice ticket within our plan and $2.20 per ticket once we exceed the limit, including spam calls that Gorgias identifies as spam if they leave a voicemail... SO WE GET CHARGED $2.20 PRETTY MUCH EVERY TIME A SPAMMER CALLS US, AND GORGIAS REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. With AI spam calls becoming more common, Gorgias really needs to fix this. Don’t identify a call as spam and then charge customers for it anyway. The billing model also creates a strange incentive. Gorgias identifies a call as spam, but if spammer leaves a voicemail, Gorgias still gets paid for the ticket. At $2.20 per overage ticket it adds up quickly. That said, we’re generally happy with Gorgias. It keeps most things organized from all of our marketplaces, and we can keep track of customer interactions fairly well.
