    What merchants praise

    We just converted to Gladly and it was a very easy process to get the CRM set up and running. Highly recommended if you are in the market to streamline your customer service. All communication channels in one place, no tickets, just conversations. Agent adoption has been quickly and painless. Update January 2026 - We've recently deployed Gladly AI across Chat, SMS, Email and Voice and we are very impressed with our resolution rates as well as the ease of AI management within the Gladly toolset. Definitely recommended if you are looking for a human approach to AI / Automation.

    Methodology

    Where the numbers come from.

    Ratings, review counts, pricing tiers, “Built for Shopify”, launch date, and category memberships come from the live Shopify App Store listing — refreshed daily by Ongoing.AI’s crawler. The review-count trajectory is the diff between today’s snapshot and snapshots from 7 and 28 days ago. Topic counts and sentiment come from the review corpus, topic-tagged with Claude. Install footprint is observed via Ongoing.AI’s tech-detection pass against actively-tracked Shopify storefronts. Catalog position is computed at snapshot time against every active app sharing the primary category. Snapshot generated .
