ChatGPT Enterprise

Pros

• The enterprise governance set goes well beyond the Business plan, including SCIM, custom RBAC, customer-managed encryption keys on AWS, GCP, or Azure, and a compliance logs API.
• Data residency across multiple regions and HIPAA BAA eligibility make the plan usable in regulated industries.
• One seat bundles chat, deep research, image generation, voice, the ChatGPT Work agent, and Codex, so teams don't need separate AI tools for each task.
• Admins can set monthly per-user credit limits, overage caps, and alerts to govern agent and Codex spending.
• Connectors for Microsoft 365, Google Drive, Slack, and GitHub let company knowledge search answer questions from internal data.

Cons

• There is no public pricing. Per-seat figures come only from third-party estimates, and contracts are negotiated case by case.
• Usage-based charges for Work and Codex, with multipliers for long context, fast mode, and regional processing, make total cost hard to predict.
• The reported 150-seat minimum and annual commitment exclude smaller teams.
• Compliance logs for Work keep prompts for only 30 days and are not a full audit trail of tool calls, so a separate SIEM export is needed for longer retention.
• PeerSpot reviewers report context limits on very long documents and want finer per-team control over tone and response constraints.

You.com

Pros

• Transparent per-call pricing, with Web Search at $5 per 1,000 calls and no seat or platform fees
• Free MCP tier gives 100 searches a day without creating an account
• Research depth tiers let teams trade cost and latency, from under 2 seconds to around 5 minutes
• Enterprise options include zero data retention, SOC 2 and DPA-ready terms
• Used at scale by customers such as DuckDuckGo, Windsurf and Harvey, reportedly handling over a billion queries a month

Cons

• The pivot away from consumer search leaves no clear packaged assistant for non-technical teams
• Third-party sites list conflicting prices and plans, which makes budgeting confusing
• Mixed user sentiment, with Trustpilot around 2 out of 5 against G2 around 4.4 out of 5
• The public pricing page specifies rate limits only for the free and enterprise tiers
