What ChatGPT's business plans do well

In their own words: ChatGPT Business promises "No training on your business data by default", connects "tools like Microsoft 365, Google Drive, Slack, Github, Linear, Figma, and more", and costs "$20 / user / month" billed annually (2+ users; $25 billed monthly). If a per-user general assistant is all your team needs, it is a fine product.

SIDE BY SIDE

A connected assistant vs the workspace itself

ChatGPT

LinearPilot

—Priced per user per month — their FAQ's own words; Business is $20 per user per month billed annually, for the assistant alone

✓One flat price per company — and the price includes the 25+ built-in apps, not just the AI

—A workspace you connect to the tools where work actually happens

✓The tools themselves: CRM, mail, files, calendar, documents on one shared data layer the AI reads

—On individual plans, the pricing page states content is used to train models, with an opt-out; business plans exclude it by default — either way, your text goes to one provider

✓Emails, phone numbers, card and ID numbers, and addresses are masked in the text sent to any external provider — on every plan, not configurable off

—OpenAI models

✓Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Groq, or OpenRouter — with your own keys if you prefer, or local models on your infrastructure

—What happens after an answer depends on the connector

✓Modifying actions across your apps wait for explicit human approval, and an audit engine keeps the record

THE DIFFERENCE IN PRACTICE

What you get because the AI lives where your data lives

Every capability below is in the product today.

One data layer

25+ built-in apps share one data layer, so an answer can draw on your CRM, mail, and files together — and cite where it came from.

Masking with receipts

Sensitive fields are masked in the text sent to external AI; AI Data Shield adds name masking and a per-message receipt of what was substituted.

Your keys, your providers

Keep the models you like — including OpenAI's — under your own keys, inside the same masking and approvals.

Approval-gated changes

The AI can propose updates to real records; modifying actions wait for a person to approve them.

Local mode

Run local models on your own infrastructure when data must not leave at all.

Per-company pricing

Plans are priced per company, not per seat — adding a teammate does not add a bill.

The AI workspace that knows your business — and keeps it private.
