Comparison

OpenAgent vs Gallabox

Gallabox and OpenAgent both aim to reduce the manual support burden, but from different angles. Gallabox is a WhatsApp-specialist — its value is in managing high-volume WhatsApp conversations, drip flows, and broadcasts for SMBs. OpenAgent is an AI-first, omnichannel support agent built for ecommerce: it deflects tickets with a trained LLM, executes Shopify order actions, and covers every support channel in one inbox. If your store's support lives beyond WhatsApp alone, OpenAgent closes that gap.

Why ecommerce teams choose OpenAgent over Gallabox

Omnichannel — not WhatsApp only

OpenAgent handles live chat, email, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook from a single AI-powered inbox. Gallabox is purpose-built for WhatsApp and requires separate tools for other channels.

LLM that answers any question

OpenAgent's AI is trained on your store's content and can handle any phrasing. Gallabox's automation is flow and keyword-based, falling back to a human for anything off-script.

Native Shopify order actions

Order tracking, returns, and refunds work out of the box in OpenAgent on any channel. Gallabox needs custom Shopify webhook setup to surface order data.

Predictable flat pricing

OpenAgent charges flat monthly plans. Gallabox's pricing adds Meta's per-conversation fees on top of the subscription, making cost hard to forecast.

Pricing compared

OpenAgent

Flat per-business plans — Free, Desk $149, Front Desk $399, Concierge $1,200/month — with unlimited text channels; no Meta variable fees.

Gallabox

Monthly platform subscription plus Meta WhatsApp Business API per-conversation fees; total is variable.

OpenAgent is more predictable for ecommerce support; Gallabox is better value if WhatsApp broadcast campaigns are a primary need.
