These guys are the GOAT. They ship really fast. If you have a feature that you want, they will help you. The support is really amazing and overall the product is just the best I've seen. I've tried alternatives and they don't match what Commslayer does.
Very very good pricing for all the functions you get. Furthermore outstanding support. All we needed for our CS team.
This app is incredible value and always innovating
Commslayer has brought my fuzzy brain feeling about customer service to clear thinking and strategic capability. The user interface is more responsive, user friendly, and straight forward for agents. And the AI Agent is the best we have used - easy to train and transfer tasks to slowly and steadily. I have reduced the customer service management time significantly and can easily integrate all apps as needed. Commslayer is the progressive, next generation e-commerce helpdesk.
Incredible product already, even better pricing. No doubt this team will develop this into an amazing product, and it will be the go-to CX platform soon.
Commslayer has been a massive time saver. It allowed me to retire my virtual assistant and finally tame my inbox. Customer service via email used to be a miserable grind, where things slipped through the cracks no matter how much I tried to systematize it. Now, it feels like the inbox works for me, not the other way around. I do have two quibbles—not dealbreakers, but worth mentioning in the spirit of improvement: 1. Sending bug on iPhone. Whether I save Commslayer to my home screen, use Safari, or use Chrome, I sometimes hit a wall when pasting content from outside sources (usually ChatGPT or our website, when Commslayer hasn’t been trained on something yet, i will paste a response from an FAQ or paste multiple sources into GPT to help me make it coherent more efficiently). The “Send” button just refuses to cooperate until I refresh, re-paste, and try again. It’s not catastrophic, but it’s a persistent snag. 2. Knowledge base input. I previously used another AI chat that had 95% of my answers down—but it couldn’t touch email. Moving that data into Commslayer has been the real bottleneck. Adding knowledge one piece at a time is SLOW. What I want is bulk import, or better yet: the ability to dump in raw data and have Commslayer draft structured articles I can refine. Right now, the manual work is slowing my rollout of full automation. That said, these issues aside, Commslayer is a must-have if you deal with a high volume of emails and chats. ZipChat got me partway there, but it stopped at chat and handed everything else off to email. At one point, my VA was literally pasting chat responses into emails for customers—which, frankly, was genius on her part, but a waste of money on mine. I even tried signing up for Gorgias, but they insisted on scheduling a kickoff call before I could touch the product. I’m sure they had their reasons, but in my world, if I need a 30-minute discovery call just to try your software, I’m out. Commslayer, on the other hand, let me dive right in. No friction. No hand-holding and it works great.
Honestly, just go with Commslayer. These guys are relentless on making awesome improvements and launching new features. We're a small team but this is one of the tools that makes running our store and customer support 10x easier and more efficient. The team also offer top notch customer support. Highly recommended.
decent app but no support from the customer support. I emailed almost a week ago and no answer, they don't even have a chat support on their website
Not the product I was hoping for (and other reviews suggest). The dev team basically focuses 100% on "AI" features, when there is so many basic help desk features missing and not implemented yet, it's almost impossible to use efficiently on larger volumes of tickets. Basic missing features: 1. No native way to show your own tickets where the customer is waiting for a response (rather than we are waiting a response from them). There is no built in filter, status or flag that shows this. Makes it hard to priorities responses. We ended up creating an automation with tags to semi work around this but still really not ideal. A basic status field could resolve this. Without this, it's extremely easy to miss tickets that have been replied to. 2. No way to delete tickets at all, you can only mark as resolved which then affects stats, reports etc. If you get hit with an influx of spam emails you just want to delete, this can affect reporting. 3. No native way to submit a ticket through a portal and form, has to be done via email, Shopify, chat etc 4. Filters are very limited Now there is some good stuff for sure: 1. Having access to order data right there in the ticket is extremely useful 2. Sometimes the AI has a good response 3. The UI is fairly decent and easy too use 4. Being able to give the AI example emails of good responses is great But there is also some bugs/quirks/issues: 1. One of the most annoying is when you open a ticket that needs a very short reply and the AI starts thinking but you know you can have completed the response before it's finished thinking so you click the reply box and starts typing and it auto resolves the conversation because you hit the R key. Then you have to spend time going in to resolved, finding it and restoring it because there is no undo button. Now part of this is user error, as it wants you to hit the "S" key to stop AI thinking, however the hotkey of "R" to resolve is not a good choice and it's also not configurable. 2. If you are in a view that is filtered by tags and you update a ticket where an automation removes the tag, it won't automatically remove it from your view. You have to go to a different view and then back to the original one for it to disappear. 3. Browser tab can use excessive memory when open for longer periods of time, have observed one tab using 8GB before. 4. Team isn't really open to feedback or changes at all it seems. When I first read about Commslayer, my impression from reading their pitch was a fast moving team with continuous product update, improvements and responsive team which hasn't been the case. When I first started using it, I had to send them an email to allow me to setup an email inbox (I have zero clue why this is restricted), took several days of waiting just for that. Then I submitted feedback about the missing feature number 1 above, almost 2 months ago now. That feedback is still "Waiting for admin approval" to this day, while others have been approved more recently. I can only assume the team isn't really open to feedback that are not AI suggestions. 5. Documentation is very very limited. 6. Attachments often get stripped from tickets with no indication it existed. The only way you know is if the customer said "please see attached", then you have to go and manually find the email to see the attachment. I've been using it for around 2 months now as a trial before moving our full system over but with the lack of focus on anything that isn't AI, it's not going to be possible for us currently.
The app itself is full of festures and even with the recent price hike a maybe a good choice. However, if you want to integrate with microsoft 365, you have to switch of your spam protection, as a result I am getting tons of spam, approx. 9 out of 10 emails. I tried to reach the support but only got an useless AI feedback.
Decent CS platform. Gets the job done if you just want a shared inbox at a reasonable price. Taking 2 stars off because the AI agent - which was a big selling point - is VERY weak - feels like 2020 AI. It makes a lot of mistakes, isn't able to handle anything but the simplest questions, and ignores explicit instructions regularly. There's a chance this could be on me but there are multiple places in the platform to give it guidance, context, and edit abilities which makes it difficult to manage. Considering just turning it off at this point.
They will have my business forever. Giving me the product for free while I get my s*^& together gets them infinite brownie points. I can't wait til I'm a little further along and can pay them for the next tier up to keep this business humming.
UPDATE: THEY ARE TERRIBLE. THEY RUINED THE STORE BY RUINING THE WORK AND NOT DELIVERING EMAILS TO CUSTOMERS, PUTTING ALL SENSITIVE DATA IN DRAMA. PLUS, NO ONE ANSWERS EXCEPT A BOT. DO NOT TRUST THEM. THEY STEAL YOUR MONEY AND BREAK THE STORE. DO NOT TRUST THE POSITIVE REVIEWS. THE SUPPORT IS NON-EXISTENT AND WE WILL REPORT THEM. 0 STARS! The app has serious problems and configuration bugs! I contacted support, who claimed to be human, but responded like a bot, providing nonsensical guides and then telling me they'd open a ticket to fix it. All this just with email configuration. The app is confusing and impossible to set up, with nonexistent support and a non-functional app. By non-existent, it means there are only bots, and the people claiming to be "human" respond like bots. Just think, every message started with "Hello," The app is a waste of money and time. Don't download it and pursue other career options. I'll report it to Shopify.
Brilliant tool, best one on the market for customer service in e-com space
I really wanted this to be good but the AI is just really poor at being consistent and pulling the relevant information from the docs. Sorry
I scheduled an onboarding meeting with the team and set aside time specifically for the call. Unfortunately, nobody showed up, and I received no communication letting me know they wouldn’t be attending. For a new customer trying to get started with the app, that speaks volumes about the level of service and support I can expect going forward. If a company can’t show up for a scheduled onboarding appointment—or at least communicate that they can’t make it—it’s difficult to have confidence in the service. I’ve decided to uninstall the app and move on to another solution. Very disappointing experience, especially when a simple email or message could have handled the situation professionally
Great app - works really well with Claude and worth the investment.
Amazing app - the best alternative to Gorgias (or any other stupidly expensive customer support app!). Super responsive and helpful team, packed with features, just unbelievable that this app is FREE to start with, then really low cost for the upgrade. I think one of the best things that it does is connect with AI. The API and MCP are incredible, with tons of access - integrates completely seamlessly with Claude or Codex agents. Blown away. Thanks Commslayer - keep doing what you're doing!
Really good app and great price. They keep improving the app and the Claude connection is really helpful for setting up AI Agent.
