What Does Enterprise AI Actually Cost? — Real Pricing 2026

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.

The Enterprise AI Pricing Spectrum
The spectrum

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.

Published Pricing — What You Can Plan Around

These platforms publish their prices. You can budget for them. Transparency is rare in enterprise AI — these are the exceptions.

Custom Pricing — What You Don't Know Until You Talk to Sales

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:

PlatformCategoryTypical CostWhat You GetThe Catch
GleanEnterprise 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.
MoveworksIT/HR Automation$100K+/yr minimumIT 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.
GongRevenue 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.
True Cost Comparison — 100 Users

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
$2,999/mo
$29.99 × 100 users. Flat rate, no tiers, no add-ons. All features included. Predictable.
Microsoft 365 Copilot
$3,000–$6,500/mo
$30 × 100 = $3,000. Plus M365 license ($12.50–$35+/user/mo). Real total: $4,250–$6,500/mo.
Amazon Q Pro
$2,000/mo
$20 × 100 users. Transparent, but limited to Amazon ecosystem. Lite tier $3/user/mo for basic needs.
ChatGPT Teams
$2,500/mo
$25 × 100 users. General assistant, not connected to business tools. Enterprise custom higher.
Glean (estimated)
~$2,500–$4,000/mo
Estimated $25–40/user/mo × 100 = $2,500–$4,000/mo. But real contract often has platform fee + minimums. Median actual: $97,500/yr = $8,125/mo — regardless of user count.
Moveworks
$100K+/yr = $8,333+/mo
Minimum contract. Not per-user. Pricing opacity means you don't know real cost until after sales process. Enterprise-only.
The transparency gap

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.

What GREA Costs — The Middle Ground

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:

Project Builds

$5,000 – $50,000

Custom AI agents, workflow automation, bespoke SaaS features. Scope defined upfront. Delivered as real working systems.
Ongoing Retainers

$2,000 – $8,000/mo

Maintenance, iteration, new features. Scope agreed monthly. No hidden platform cost markups.
Enterprise Custom

Custom scope

For companies that need custom AI at scale. Direct engagement, no procurement middleman. Real timelines, real costs, no opacity.
Why this matters

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.

Key Takeaways

1. Published pricing is rare

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.

2. Headline ≠ all-in

Microsoft Copilot looks like $30/user/mo but requires M365 license. Real cost: $42.50–$65+/user/mo. Always confirm all-in.

3. Enterprise minimums are real

Glean median: $97,500/yr. Moveworks: $100K+/yr minimum. These aren't per-user — they're floor prices regardless of size.

4. The middle is underserved

Companies that need custom AI but can't justify $97K+/yr enterprise contracts fall through the cracks. That's GREA's territory.

5. Custom can be cheaper

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.
