The verdict

Kustomer wins, 8.1 to 7.6

Kustomer's pricing is not published; we could not find a monthly price on its site, only a custom quote. Gorgias is public and starts at $10 a month for 50 tickets. Kustomer bundles its AI, Concierge and Architect, into the package price with no separate usage charge; Gorgias bills AI resolutions on top of the plan. Gorgias also gives more ways to reach its own support, email, chat and community, where Kustomer publishes only email.

Pick Gorgias if you want a published starting price and more support channels.

Pick Kustomer if AI included in one package price appeals to you.
