Prices and features. ChatGPT Business is OpenAI's shared ChatGPT workspace for teams of 2 to 200. A Standard seat costs \$25 per month billed monthly, or \$20 billed annually. It is a strong default, but it gives your team one company's models, at one price per person, in OpenAI's own app. **The best ChatGPT Business alternative for most teams is TypingMind Teams.** Your team gets GPT, Claude, Gemini and more in one workspace with your brand, admin controls and usage limits, and you pay AI providers only for what people use. This guide compares it with five other options, using each vendor's own pricing page. > [card] [Start a TypingMind Teams trial](https://custom.typingmind.com/pricing?utm_source=docs\&utm_medium=article\&utm_campaign=chatgpt-business-alternatives) > > 14-day free trial. From \$99/month for 5 seats. > [card] [TypingMind Teams vs ChatGPT for Teams](https://docs.typingmind.com/typingmind-team/getting-started/typingmind-team-vs.-chatgpt-for-team.md) > > Feature-by-feature comparison. ## What ChatGPT Business includes Before you compare, it helps to know what you would replace. On OpenAI's pricing page in November 2026, ChatGPT Business includes ChatGPT, ChatGPT Work and Codex, connectors to Google Workspace, Slack, GitHub and Microsoft 365, SAML SSO and MFA, central billing, usage analytics and spend controls, and workspace agents. Standard seats have a 5-hour usage limit; Premium seats (\$125 per month, or \$100 billed annually) don't. ![OpenAI's pricing page listing what ChatGPT Business includes, such as connectors, SAML SSO and MFA, usage analytics and workspace agents, next to the Enterprise plan](https://mintcdn.com/typingmind/uZd4UqR6VKxH3oya/images/resources/chatgpt-business-alternatives/chatgpt-business-included.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=uZd4UqR6VKxH3oya\&q=85\&s=0d0cadd8aeb97f6bbfad63c4f057ccf4) ChatGPT Business vs Enterprise on OpenAI's pricing page. Source: openai.com/business/pricing, November 2026. ## Why teams look for a ChatGPT Business alternative Common reasons teams look beyond ChatGPT Business: * **One model company.** ChatGPT Business gives you OpenAI models. Many teams also want Claude for writing and code, or Gemini for long documents, in the same place. * **Paying full seats for light users.** Every person costs the same seat price, whether they chat all day or twice a month. * **Not your tool.** The workspace looks like ChatGPT. You can't add your logo, colors or domain, or run it on your own servers. * **Control over cost and access.** Teams want limits per person, per model or per agent, and a say in which models each group can use. ## How we compared these options We checked each option on five things: 1. **Models:** which AI companies' models your team can use. 2. **Real cost:** seat price billed monthly, plus API usage where it applies. 3. **Admin and security:** SSO, user provisioning, roles, usage limits, logs. 4. **Where it runs:** the vendor's cloud, or your own servers. 5. **Fit:** the kind of team each option suits best. Prices come from each vendor's own pricing page, checked in November 2026. ## ChatGPT Business alternatives at a glance | Option | Best for | Models | Price per user (Nov 2026) | Admin and security | Runs where | | - | - | - | - | - | - | | **TypingMind Teams** | Teams that want every model in one branded workspace | GPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Mistral, OpenRouter, local models | \$99/month for 5 seats, then \$8 per seat.

Professional is listed at \$599/month and currently \$299/month on sale; the table uses the sale price. Business plans with custom contracts start at \$18,700/year, with seats as low as \$4 per month. ![The TypingMind Teams pricing page set to monthly billing, showing Starter at 99 dollars, Growth at 199 dollars, Professional at 299 dollars on sale from 599 dollars, and a custom Business plan](https://mintcdn.com/typingmind/uZd4UqR6VKxH3oya/images/resources/chatgpt-business-alternatives/typingmind-teams-pricing-monthly.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=uZd4UqR6VKxH3oya\&q=85\&s=30b452a9ee3a07ba2779fd39f994f8ed) TypingMind Teams pricing, billed monthly: Starter \\$99, Growth \\$199, Professional \\$299 (on sale from \\$599), 5 seats included. ### Seats plus API usage With TypingMind you also pay your providers per token. Our [pricing guide](https://docs.typingmind.com/resources/typingmind-pricing.md) estimates one person's yearly API spend with Claude models at about \$1 for light use, \$25 for medium use and \$168 for heavy use. For a team where everyone is a medium user, that is about \$2 per person per month. | 20 people, medium use | Per month | | - | - | | ChatGPT Business (Standard) | \$500 | | TypingMind Teams Starter + API | ≈ \$261 | | TypingMind Teams Professional + API | ≈ \$461 | Heavy users cost more, so set usage limits per user or model to keep the bill predictable. ## 1. TypingMind Teams: every model, one branded workspace **Best for:** teams that want GPT, Claude and Gemini in one place, with their own brand, admin controls and pay-per-use AI costs. TypingMind Teams is a custom-branded version of TypingMind for your company. You add your API keys in the admin panel, and your team chats with any model you allow. Users never see the keys, and requests to the AI providers go from TypingMind's server. ### Every major model in one workspace Your team can use GPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Mistral and models from OpenRouter in one list, plus custom endpoints and local models. People switch models mid-chat without losing the conversation, the agent or the tools. ![The TypingMind Models page listing providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, OpenRouter, DeepSeek and Moonshot, plus a local Ollama model](https://mintcdn.com/typingmind/3ZUxSeISn9EBAJ2u/images/typingmind-models-providers.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=3ZUxSeISn9EBAJ2u\&q=85\&s=e9460463ce3aeb4fcc949eaee7813445) Connect models from many providers, then pick any of them from one model list. On Growth and up, multi-model chats send one prompt to several models side by side, so your team can compare answers before choosing one. ![A TypingMind multi-model response where two models answer the same prompt side by side, with an option to pick a primary response](https://mintcdn.com/typingmind/xprs3-Js5V1BFQSB/images/resources/typingmind-review/multi-model.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=xprs3-Js5V1BFQSB\&q=85\&s=d78576cd24b35cc5b03e9ee9b14b3734) Multi-model chat: one prompt, answers from several models side by side. ### Agents that replace Custom GPTs Each team assistant becomes an AI agent with its own system instructions, training files, tag-based access to the knowledge base, tools and conversation starters. You can run any agent on any model. Custom GPTs stop running on December 11, 2026; see the [Custom GPTs migration guide](https://docs.typingmind.com/custom-gpt-retirement-and-typingmind-migration.md) for how they map. ![The TypingMind New AI agent form with System instruction, Model and parameters, Assigned tools, Memory, Training files, Knowledge base access and Conversation starters](https://mintcdn.com/typingmind/xprs3-Js5V1BFQSB/images/resources/typingmind-review/agent-form-knowledge.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=xprs3-Js5V1BFQSB\&q=85\&s=faf01049f5ca8341bf4463cbc61522ac) New AI agent: system instruction, training files, tag-based knowledge access, dynamic context and conversation starters. ### Tools and company data Connect MCP servers, build custom plugins, install Agent Skills and run code in the Toolbox. On Growth and up, a knowledge base lets agents answer from your own documents, with 1M characters included and add-ons for more. ![The TypingMind Plugins page on the Skills tab with installable skills, and installed MCP servers such as Notion, GitHub and Firecrawl in the sidebar](https://mintcdn.com/typingmind/xprs3-Js5V1BFQSB/images/resources/typingmind-review/plugins-skills.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=xprs3-Js5V1BFQSB\&q=85\&s=24ad8cef7f04b03ebd55a3b115b0abc1) Plugins, MCP connectors and Skills in TypingMind. ### Admin, security and cost control On Professional, you get: * **Sign-in:** SSO with SAML or OAuth 2.0 (OIDC), and Directory Sync (SCIM) to add and remove users automatically. * **Access:** role-based access and user groups. You can also limit which models, agents and plugins each group can use. * **Cost control:** usage limits per model, agent, plugin or user, for example a token limit per hour. * **Visibility:** an analytics dashboard, email reports, chat logs and audit logs. ![The TypingMind Teams admin Usage Limits page with tabs for Global, Model, AI Agent, Plugin and User limits, and limit groups such as 100k tokens per hour](https://mintcdn.com/typingmind/xprs3-Js5V1BFQSB/images/resources/typingmind-review/teams-usage-limits.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=xprs3-Js5V1BFQSB\&q=85\&s=e184eb7ff583cae350bbe8af58ea341c) TypingMind Teams admin → Usage Limits: set limits per model, agent, plugin or user. ### Your brand, your servers Set your logo, colors, welcome message and custom domain, so the workspace looks like your company's own tool. If data must stay in-house, the self-host plan runs on your infrastructure with your own domain, database and SMTP server, and you choose when to pull updates. **Pricing:** Starter \$99/month, Growth \$199/month and Professional \$299/month (on sale from \$599), each with 5 seats, then \$8 per seat. 14-day free trial. ## 2. Claude Team: if your team only uses Claude **Best for:** teams that have chosen Claude and want Anthropic's own apps. Claude Team is Anthropic's workspace for teams of 2 to 150. It includes Claude Code and Claude Cowork, Claude Design, Slides and Docs, Claude for Microsoft 365, enterprise search across your organization, SSO, and admin controls for remote and local connectors. ![Anthropic's pricing page showing the Team plan with Standard seats at 20 dollars billed annually or 25 monthly and Premium seats at 100 or 125, next to the Enterprise plan](https://mintcdn.com/typingmind/uZd4UqR6VKxH3oya/images/resources/chatgpt-business-alternatives/claude-team-pricing.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=uZd4UqR6VKxH3oya\&q=85\&s=682510931004f1f82bf0c569945d2763) Claude Team and Enterprise on Anthropic's pricing page.

Gemini for Google Workspace: if your team lives in Gmail and Docs **Best for:** companies already on Google Workspace that want AI inside the apps they use every day. Gemini is built into Google Workspace. From Business Standard up, it works in Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Meet, Drive and Chat, plus the Gemini app and Gemini Notebook. Google says your company data is not used to train its models. ![The Google Workspace pricing page showing Starter, Standard, Plus and Enterprise plans with Gemini AI assistant features](https://mintcdn.com/typingmind/uZd4UqR6VKxH3oya/images/resources/chatgpt-business-alternatives/google-workspace-gemini-pricing.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=uZd4UqR6VKxH3oya\&q=85\&s=027c57c94b414b49f8d0d6068fe9767c) Google Workspace plans with Gemini.

Microsoft 365 Copilot works inside Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams, and answers from your organization's own data. It uses the latest OpenAI models with a choice of other models, and includes pre-built agents for research and data analysis. ![Microsoft's Copilot pricing page showing Microsoft 365 Business Premium with Copilot at 32 dollars and Business Standard with Copilot at 23.50 dollars per user per month, paid yearly](https://mintcdn.com/typingmind/uZd4UqR6VKxH3oya/images/resources/chatgpt-business-alternatives/microsoft-365-copilot-pricing.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=uZd4UqR6VKxH3oya\&q=85\&s=dd860a8568aaef07ec65e715ed8d05ad) Microsoft 365 plans with Copilot.

LibreChat: if you want a free, open-source option **Best for:** engineering teams that want to run and change the code themselves. LibreChat is a free, open-source chat platform under the MIT license, with more than 46,000 stars on GitHub. It supports many providers and local models, agents with files and tools, and logins through OAuth, SAML, LDAP and two-factor.
