| Pricing | Not published — no pricing page exists on gladly.ai · free tier: None advertised — no free plan, no self-serve signup and no free trial appear anywhere on gladly.ai | Not published · free tier: A "Start for free" entry point exists on the Contentsquare Heap page, but its limits are unverified |
| Pricing model | Quote-only enterprise contract; platform fee plus metered voice and SMS usage (structure indicated by the vendor's own help-centre cost documentation, amounts unverified) | Custom |
| Best for | Mid-market and enterprise DTC and retail brands with high-AOV, high-touch customers running voice plus chat plus email plus SMS, who want pre-sale conversational selling and post-purchase service in one system and have a procurement process that can absorb a demo-gated annual contract. | Product or growth teams that want quantitative analytics plus qualitative session replay, heatmaps and surveys from one vendor, prefer autocapture over rigorous event schemas, and are comfortable buying into Contentsquare's wider experience-intelligence suite. |
| Avoid if | Avoid Gladly if you are a small or growing Shopify store that needs transparent pricing, a free trial or self-serve onboarding, if you want a straightforward ticket-queue helpdesk with macros and SLAs, if you sell across Amazon, eBay or TikTok Shop, or if your budget cannot absorb metered voice and SMS usage on top of an unpublished platform fee. | You specifically wanted independent, engineering-first Heap, or you need published self-serve pricing you can budget against without talking to sales. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
