Enterprise AI pricing in 2026 ranges from $3/user/month to $500,000+/year. The gap between published and actual cost is where buyers get hurt. Here's the real breakdown, with verified data from industry comparisons. Updated August 2026.
Enterprise AI pricing spans from ~$3/user/month (Amazon Q Lite) to $30–$100+/user/month (Microsoft Copilot, enterprise search tools) to $97,500–$500,000+/year (enterprise-negotiated platform minimums). The middle ground — companies that need custom work but can't justify enterprise procurement — is underserved. That's where GREA operates.
These platforms publish their prices. You can budget for them. Transparency is rare in enterprise AI — these are the exceptions.
| Platform | Category | Published Price | What's Included | Hidden Costs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coworker AI | Organizational Memory + Agents | $29.99/user/mo | Org memory, 50+ integrations, meeting intelligence, enterprise search, workflow execution, agent builder. No tiers, no add-ons. | None published — flat rate. Onboarding 2–5 business days. |

These platforms don't publish prices. You sit through a sales process to find out what you'll pay. Median contracts from verified procurement data:
| Platform | Category | Typical Cost | What You Get | The Catch |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Glean | Enterprise Search | $97,500/yr median $25–40/user/mo (est.) | Best-in-class enterprise search across 100+ apps. AI-generated answers. Knowledge discovery. | No published prices. Median contract $97,500/yr from 159 verified purchases (Vendr). Per-user cost varies by deployment size. Enterprise sales process required. |
| Moveworks | IT/HR Automation | $100K+/yr minimum | IT service management + HR automation. Employee-facing AI assistant. Deep service desk integration. | Large enterprise focus only. Minimum contract $100K+/yr. Custom pricing. Not suitable for mid-market. |
| Gong | Revenue Intelligence | $100–150/user/mo (est.) | Conversation analytics, deal risk detection, pipeline forecasting from call/email analysis. | Custom pricing, sales org focus. Per-user cost at scale. Enterprise deals only. |
What 100 users actually costs per month, all-in. Note: enterprise platforms often add platform fees, onboarding fees, and per-seat minimums that inflate the headline rate.
Coworker AI is the only platform above that publishes a flat per-user rate with no tiers and no add-ons. Everyone else either hides behind custom pricing or adds mandatory ecosystem costs (M365 license, Google Workspace plan). The biggest hidden costs: platform fees, onboarding fees, and per-seat minimums. Always confirm the all-in price, not the headline rate.
If you're a founder or CXO who needs custom AI work but can't justify a $97K–$500K/yr enterprise contract, here's what GREA charges:
Enterprise AI platforms serve two extremes: cheap generic tools at $10–$30/user/mo (no business context) and expensive opaque platforms at $97K–$500K/yr (long sales cycles). Founders and mid-market CXOs fall through the cracks. GREA fills that gap with custom work at $5K–$50K, transparent pricing, and fast delivery.
Most enterprise AI vendors don't publish prices. You sit through sales to find out cost. Coworker AI ($29.99/user/mo flat) is the exception.
Microsoft Copilot looks like $30/user/mo but requires M365 license. Real cost: $42.50–$65+/user/mo. Always confirm all-in.
Glean median: $97,500/yr. Moveworks: $100K+/yr minimum. These aren't per-user — they're floor prices regardless of size.
Companies that need custom AI but can't justify $97K+/yr enterprise contracts fall through the cracks. That's GREA's territory.
A $20K custom AI build from GREA can do what a $97K/yr Glean contract does — for companies with specific workflow needs, not generic enterprise search.
