Gotchas

mediumPricing is quote-based; get total cost at your exact ticket volume in writing
medium85% deflection-style claims are marketing; run a pilot before annual commitment^⁶
mediumGuess: deep store-data coupling likely makes switching helpdesks painful later
low'Free' signup is a trial, not a permanent free tier^³

Best for

Shopify-first ecommerce brands
