|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BPlus is $20 a month, which is the going rate, and Go is $8 if you need less. No bargain, though. Gemini's paid plan starts at $4.99, and Pro here runs $100 to $500. | BA Standard seat with models included is €23.20 per user a month billed annually, or €29 monthly, before VAT. That's about what its rivals charge for a business seat, and SSO, SCIM and SAML are in. Bring your own model keys and it's €17.60. Big workflow volumes cost extra, from €449 a month per workspace. |
| Free plan and trial | AUnlimited text chats for free, which is most of what people do with it. Uploads, images, voice, deep research and memory are there too, each with a limit. | CNo free plan. You get a 7-day free trial with €5 of AI model credits, and no credit card is required. A week isn't long to judge something you'd roll out to a whole company. |
| Features | AChat, image generation, real-time voice, web search and Deep Research reports in one app. Plus adds projects, scheduled tasks, custom GPTs and Codex, a coding agent. | AOne chat for leading models from several providers, custom agents for recurring tasks, and workflows with unlimited steps under fair use. There are 57 integrations, among them Google Drive, Notion, Slack, Salesforce and Jira, plus MCP, an API and admin controls. |
| Ease of use | A4.8 from about 11 million App Store ratings. You open it and type a question the way you'd text a friend. There's nothing to set up first. | BFor the people using it, it's a chat box with the company's tools already plugged in. For the admin there's a rollout to plan: seats, SSO and which integrations to switch on. There's no rating on record, so a B at best. |

There's an API for developers too, and Codex hooks into Slack. | AWeb, Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, with 57 integrations and an EU-hosted API for your own applications.
