Why ecommerce teams choose Bookbag over Capacity
Customer-facing ecommerce, not internal helpdesk
Bookbag is built to serve your store's customers — handling WISMO, returns, and refunds — not internal employees asking HR questions. Capacity's core strength is internal knowledge management and employee support.
Shopify-native order actions
Order tracking, return initiation, refund processing, and subscription management work in Bookbag out of the box. Capacity requires custom integrations and workflow configuration for ecommerce actions.
Flat, transparent pricing
Bookbag's flat plans need no per-ticket or per-resolution fee. Capacity's enterprise pricing model scales with seats and usage, requiring a custom quote.
Revenue generation in every chat
Bookbag recommends products and recovers abandoned carts within support conversations. Capacity is focused on resolving questions, not driving revenue.
Pricing compared
Flat monthly plans from free to $40 to $150 to $500 with generous message allowances and no per-resolution fee.
Enterprise pricing based on seats, usage, and deployment scope; requires a sales conversation and typically costs significantly more than Bookbag for a similar support volume.
Bookbag is purpose-priced for ecommerce and dramatically simpler to budget. Capacity may be justified for large enterprises needing a unified internal + external knowledge platform.
