Pros & Cons
Google Gemini
Pros
- Many API models have a free tier, and Flash-Lite models cost from $0.10 to $0.30 per million input tokens.
- It is built into Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Meet and Drive for Workspace customers, starting with the €6.80 Starter plan.
- The Standard edition adds VPC Service Controls, customer-managed encryption keys and data-residency controls.
- The self-serve Business edition includes connectors to Microsoft 365, HubSpot and Jira as well as Google tools.
Cons
- Licensing is fragmented across Gemini Enterprise, Workspace, consumer AI plans and the API, and Plus has no public price.
- Users report unclear usage limits and silent downgrades from Pro to lighter models.
- Several API prices are scheduled to double in December 2026 and January 2027.
- Reviewers say third-party connectors to Salesforce, SAP and ServiceNow are less mature than Microsoft Copilot's.
Workativ
Pros
- Session-based pricing with unlimited end users avoids the per-employee fees common in this category.
- Agents carry out real actions, such as Okta, Azure AD and Active Directory password resets and ServiceNow or Jira tickets, rather than only answering questions.
- Works inside Slack and Microsoft Teams, where employees already ask for help.
- The security page lists ISO 27001, ISO 27701, GDPR and HIPAA compliance, plus SOC 2 audits.
Cons
- When a plan's sessions run out, the agent stops responding for the rest of the billing period, and no overage option is published.
- The Business plan is capped at 2 agents and 5 actions, which pushes larger teams toward custom Enterprise pricing.
- There are few independent reviews: only a handful each on G2 and Capterra.
- There is no free trial or self-serve signup, so buyers must book a demo.
- A competitor's review reports that SSO, MFA and role-based access are Enterprise-only and that no public API was found.
