Silo Workspace is a cloud investigation environment where analysts research the web through isolated workspaces and the vendor's own network of endpoints. It costs $1,450 to $3,450 per user a year by regions covered, and Authentic8 says it does not replace everyday browsing. - **Value for money: D.** $1,450 to $3,450 per user a year, which is about $121 to $288 a month, far above this category's $21 dearest-tenth line. Its rivals publish no prices to set against. - **Free plan and trial: D.** A 30-day trial with limited egress nodes is listed, but the listing does not say whether it needs a card, so it is graded as one that might. - **Features: C.** Isolated workspaces, a managed attribution network and audit, but Nexus AI is capped at 10 prompts a day on these tiers. - **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. It is a cloud environment where analysts set up regions and workspaces, with a learning curve. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** A cloud environment reached from the web. The pages do not list client operating systems, though Telegram, Signal and Maltego run inside. These are ToolGPA's own grades.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 58 of the 60 other browsers grade higher. It costs $1,450 a year. - You could not: A web browser. - You could not: A library of papers and sources to search. - You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Telegram, Signal and Maltego among them. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. - You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: audit logs.
