The Gorgias alternative for support beyond the shop

Gorgias is built around the order. If most of your tickets are not about an order, that shape works against you.

Gorgias is very good at what it is for: e-commerce support with the order, the refund and the customer history right there in the ticket. Outside that context the deep shop integration is not an advantage, and the pricing – tied to ticket volume – rewards a different kind of business than a B2B service team.

As of 2026. The comparison describes typical characteristics of E-commerce help desks and is meant as general orientation; scope, pricing and data protection vary by vendor, plan and point in time. The names mentioned (for example Gorgias) are trademarks of their respective owners – no connection, partnership or endorsement is implied. What counts is the current information published by each vendor.

When the shop is not the centre

If you sell services, machines or software, the ticket is not about an order number. It is about a company, a contract and a history – and that is what rapidFOX puts in front of you: the company record with every ticket it ever raised.

Volume-based pricing also cuts the wrong way for B2B support, where a handful of large customers can generate a busy month without generating more revenue.

Moving from Gorgias to rapidFOX

The move is deliberately undramatic. You start a free trial that comes with sample data and connect your support mailbox over IMAP/SMTP in a few minutes. From then on every incoming email becomes a ticket, and replies go back out as ordinary email.

  • No training needed – the interface is uncluttered and guided, so your team can start without a course.
  • Companies and contacts build themselves from the incoming email.
  • Running both at once is fine – you can try rapidFOX alongside Gorgias before deciding anything.

What a clean switch looks like step by step is in the guide Introducing a ticketing system.

An AI that stays in Germany

A local AI – with no data leaving

The rapidFOX AI assistant runs on your own server: drafting replies, shortening them, turning notes into full messages and suggesting solutions – ticket content is never sent to an external AI service. On or off whenever you like, and a person always approves.

FAQ

Common questions

We run a Shopify store. Is rapidFOX the right call?

Honestly, often not. If your agents need the order, the tracking and the refund button inside the ticket, Gorgias earns its price. rapidFOX is the better fit once support is about more than the order.

Does rapidFOX integrate with shop systems?

Not directly. Orders reach it the way everything else does – by email, with the company matched automatically.

Can we try rapidFOX alongside Gorgias?

Yes. The trial runs for seven days with sample data, and you can connect a second mailbox rather than moving the main one. Nothing has to be switched off first.

What does rapidFOX cost compared with Gorgias?

rapidFOX costs one fixed price per booked seat, with every function included and no tiers. What Gorgias costs depends on the plan and the add-ons you need – compare it against the list price of the tier that actually covers your requirements.
