The Verdict
Criteo is built for ecommerce retailers and d2c brands, with a focus on dynamic-retargeting and product-recommendations. Gorgias targets shopify stores and ecommerce and leads with ticketing and shopify-integration.
Criteo uses custom enterprise pricing, while Gorgias starts at $10/mo — a tangible advantage for teams with a fixed budget.
Neither tool offers a free plan, so factor the subscription cost into your decision from the start.
Gorgias edges out on user ratings (4.5 vs 4). While both are well-regarded, that gap reflects real differences in user satisfaction worth considering.
Bottom line: Gorgias has a slight overall edge — but if excellent retargeting performance matters most to you, Criteo may still be the right call.
