Chatfuel vs. Gorgias

Chatfuel is great for a small team looking to easily implement and set up Facebook chatbots for their clients for ease of community management, etc. Chatfuel is not necessarily meant for large scale operations that require complex workflows and chatbot requirements, it is limited to Facebook Messenger and is not 100% intuitive in this regard.

Gorgias is one of the easiest platforms I've used, as it was easy to navigate. You can customize your views so you can easily track them. The shared views are also specific and convenient. The search button is also one thing I like, as it easily shows what you're looking for with just keywords, email addresses, or any information.

• Easy to use without experience
• Cost vs. benefit ratio very good
• Integrations possible through API
• Conversion funnels can be created

Incentivized

• Tagging- the tagging system was a great way to stay organized.
• Rules- when you have 49 inboxes implementing rules on when to fire a macro or auto tag is necessary and Gorgias’ UI was easy to understand and execute.
• Integrations- I had to integrate with dozens of inboxes many times using aliases and most of the time Gorgias was able to help.

Incentivized

• Setting it up is time-consuming.

• Rules are powerful, but clunky, showing them to others can put them off as it looks "easy to break" because of their messy nature.
• Pricing seems to be increasing due to the inclusion of more advanced AI that currently does not provide value.
• Macros could really use contextual support, or a hotkey system to make it easier to pick highly used ones that aren't in the top 3.

Gorgias is still by far most the most complete customer service tool to handle multiple responses and channels at a single umbrella without the needs of opening multiple tabs and sometimes will even make us missed some messages what supposed to be taken care of at a timely manner

I haven't dealt with the support channel, so I cannot provide a full review for this

Both offer bot service to reply to messages from Facebook. The difference is that Chatfuel gives you the option of being able to create conversion funnels or fixed conversation changes.

Connecting to our API is free from Chatfuel and integration with other providers has an additional cost.

AIVO has no option to create conversation flows if not through keywords.

We selected Gorgias from Zendesk based on its Shopify integration. Given how many stores we were managing the team needed to quickly find all of a customer's information in an email. We preferred it to Zendesk. However, now that I use intercom I have many more features such as surveys, topics, extensive reporting, auto tags, and series I prefer intercom for my work now
