The verdict

Gorgias wins, 7.6 to 7.4

Richpanel charges $0.24 per AI-resolved conversation with no separate seat price; Gorgias starts at $10 a month for its Starter plan plus its own per-resolution AI charge. Gorgias supports a voice channel, which Richpanel does not offer. Gorgias connects to Slack and Zapier; Richpanel's integrations list only Shopify and HubSpot. Neither lets you remove the vendor's branding.

Pick Gorgias if you want voice support and more integrations.

Pick Richpanel if you want to pay only per resolved conversation.
