Key differences

What should you look for in a Gorgias alternative?

✓Where the AI works: Inside a separate helpdesk interface, or inside the inbox you already use. tResolv works inside Gmail.
✓Financial governance: Whether refunds, cancellations, and address changes need human approval by default or are configurable. tResolv stages all three for your one-tap approval by default.
✓Shopify depth: How much of your Shopify order data and how many order actions the tool can use. Compare current documentation rather than marketing pages. tResolv supports staged refunds, cancellations, and address changes, and routes exchanges to your support team.
✓Setup effort and pricing: How long it takes to go live and how pricing scales with volume. tResolv typically connects in under 10 minutes. tResolv plans are $49, $99, and $249+ per month with a 14-day free trial and no credit card required.
