Langdock vs Writer (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Langdock if

• Fits if you're a European company putting AI in front of every employee under GDPR
• Works for teams that want several model providers behind one admin console

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you're one person, because it's built and priced for companies, by the seat
• Not for you if you want a free plan, as there's only a 7-day trial with €5 of credits
• Pricey if you automate at scale, with 40,000 workflow runs a month costing €449 on top
• Watch out: prices are in euros before VAT, and hosted seats have fair-use limits; 5x the usage is €99 a seat on Core and €109 on Work
• Watch out: the mobile apps do chat and agents only, and Governance is free on Core only until January 1, 2027, after that it comes with Work at €31.20 a seat

Pick Writer if

• Fits if you are a team of up to 5 that wants to try AI playbooks for 14 days
• Works for companies that need brand voice and governance controls and can buy through sales

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you need a price before talking to anyone, as neither plan shows one
• Tight if you go past 5 users, 5 playbooks or 3 connectors, the Starter caps
• Watch out: SSO, SCIM, audit logs and HIPAA coverage are Enterprise only
• Watch out: refunds are at Writer's discretion, and ACH, invoicing and PayPal are not accepted

Langdock

• There is no free plan; the 7-day trial comes with €5 of AI model credits.
• Prices are in euros and exclude VAT. The per-seat price falls in volume tiers, and annual billing is 20% cheaper than monthly.
• Seats with hosted models are subject to fair-use limits; the Core Max seat at €99 gives five times the usage of a Standard seat.
• The mobile apps cover Chat and Agents only. Workflows and workspace settings need the web or desktop app.

Writer

• Neither plan shows a price, so the Starter cost per seat has to be requested or seen at sign-up.
• Starter caps users at 5, playbooks at 5 and active connectors at 3.
• SSO, SCIM, audit logs and HIPAA coverage are Enterprise features.
• Refunds are at Writer's discretion, and it does not accept ACH, invoicing or PayPal.
