You need useful work before a platform rollout
A ready teammate or suite-native assistant can be easier to pilot than an enterprise search and agent program.
Updated August 20, 2026
Glean Agents builds on permission-aware enterprise search and governed company knowledge. That foundation is powerful, but not every buyer needs a full Work AI platform. Some need faster execution, a different suite, a focused model, or a more configurable agent system.
Why teams look elsewhere
A ready teammate or suite-native assistant can be easier to pilot than an enterprise search and agent program.
Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Notion may provide enough governed context when the company already lives inside one ecosystem.
Dust and Relevance AI put more emphasis on specialized agents, tools, orchestration, and collaborative multi-agent work.
Claude can be a better buy when reasoning, writing, research, and individual knowledge work are the actual requirements.
The full list
The order starts with fast shared execution, then compares an agent operating system, two suite-native choices, a knowledge workspace, a model-first assistant, and a multi-agent platform.
Best for: Fast shared execution in Slack or Microsoft Teams
Dash gives the company one AI teammate that can connect tools, complete work, ask for approvals, and remember recurring formats without first deploying an enterprise knowledge platform.
Watch for: Dash does not try to replace Glean's permission-aware enterprise search layer. Very large knowledge estates may need both.
Pricing snapshot
$100 in free credits; Team is $50 per month for the whole workspace.
Dash pricing Compare Dash and Glean AgentsBest for: Governed fleets of specialized enterprise agents
Dust connects company sources and tools, supports no-code agent creation and MCP, and organizes collaborative agent work in Pods.
Watch for: Its per-seat credit model and multi-agent operating layer can be more involved than a ready teammate or suite assistant.
Pricing snapshot
Pro is $24 per seat monthly when billed yearly with 8,000 credits. Max is $120 per seat with 40,000 credits.
Dust pricing Compare Dash and DustBest for: Organizations centered on Microsoft identity and data
Copilot Studio lets enterprises build and publish agents across Microsoft channels while connecting governed business data and actions.
Watch for: Copilot Credit licensing can be difficult to predict, and the best fit assumes a meaningful Microsoft platform commitment.
Pricing snapshot
A pack of 25,000 Copilot Credits costs $200 per month. Pay-as-you-go billing is also available.
Copilot Studio pricingBest for: Teams centered on Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Meet
Gemini is included across Google Workspace business plans and can use the mail, files, meetings, and permissions already inside the suite.
Watch for: It is strongest within Google's ecosystem and is less neutral when important work spans many non-Google systems.
Pricing snapshot
Business Standard is $14 per user monthly with an annual commitment and includes Gemini in Gmail, Docs, Meet, and more.
Google Workspace pricingBest for: Knowledge and autonomous work inside Notion
Notion AI combines search, writing, meeting notes, databases, and Custom Agents inside a workspace many teams already use as their operating system.
Watch for: Its context and actions remain centered on Notion, and agent credits add usage pricing beyond member seats.
Pricing snapshot
Notion Business is $20 per member monthly. Custom Agents are free to try, then $10 per 1,000 Notion credits.
Notion pricingBest for: Reasoning, writing, research, and individual knowledge work
Claude offers a broad team AI workspace with projects, research, connectors, enterprise search, coding, and administrative controls.
Watch for: It is not a direct replacement for enterprise search infrastructure or a fleet of governed business agents.
Pricing snapshot
Claude Team Standard is $20 per seat monthly when billed annually or $25 with monthly billing. Enterprise adds usage billed at API rates.
Claude pricingBest for: Building coordinated multi-agent workforces
Relevance AI focuses on specialized agents, tools, schedules, escalations, evaluations, and multi-agent workforces across business systems.
Watch for: Pricing is currently sales-led, and the organization still needs builders and operators for the agent platform.

Relevance AI currently directs buyers to its sales team for platform pricing.
Relevance AI pricingHow we researched this guide
We reviewed official enterprise AI, agent, security, and pricing pages on August 20, 2026. Glean does not publish standard self-serve pricing, so this guide does not invent a per-seat estimate.
Dash is our product and ranks first for teams prioritizing visible execution in Slack or Microsoft Teams. Glean Agents remains stronger when permission-aware enterprise search and governed company knowledge are the central buying requirements.
FAQ
Dash is simpler when the goal is to install one shared teammate and start completing work in Slack or Microsoft Teams. Google Workspace, Microsoft, or Notion can also be simpler when the company already standardizes on that suite.
Dust and Relevance AI are the closest choices on this list for organizations that want to build and govern multiple specialized agents rather than buy one assistant.
No standard self-serve price is published. Glean directs buyers to request a demo and tailored quote, so compare total rollout and platform cost during procurement.
Yes. A company could use Glean as its permission-aware search and knowledge layer while Dash handles requests, actions, approvals, and recurring work in team chat.
