Where Felix wins

Operator scope

Inbox, calendar, email marketing, paid ads, outreach, reporting — the executive suite. Gorgias is a helpdesk, not an operating partner.

Cost model for small brands

Free conversation, delivery-priced outcomes, no seats, no ticket tiers.

Glass-box autonomy

Every consequential action is held for your approval. Nothing consequential runs unseen.

Actions, not just replies

He issues refunds, changes orders, and moves spend in your systems.

WooCommerce-native parity

The same Felix on both platforms — Gorgias's AI Agent isn't available on WooCommerce at all. There, it's just an inbox.

Frequently asked questions

Is Felix cheaper than Gorgias?

The models differ, so it depends on shape. Gorgias bills by ticket volume plus per AI resolution; Felix bills only for delegated outcomes he delivers. When you drive the conversation, Felix costs nothing.

Does Felix replace our helpdesk?

For a solo operator or small team, usually yes — he triages, drafts, replies, and resolves end-to-end. A large support org with voice queues may still want a helpdesk beside him.

Does Felix work on WooCommerce?

Yes — Felix is native on both Shopify and WooCommerce, with the same skills and actions on each. Gorgias's AI Agent isn't available on Woo at all; there, Gorgias is an inbox.

Can I keep Gorgias and still use Felix?

Yes. Some brands keep Gorgias for team support and hand Felix everything else — inbox, calendar, marketing, ads, reporting. He doesn't need to own your tickets to earn his keep.

How does Felix's billing differ from Gorgias's per-resolution pricing?

Gorgias charges for each conversation their AI resolves, on top of the helpdesk plan. Felix has no plan at all — conversation is free, and you pay only for delegated outcomes, on delivery.
