Editorial summary

Decision guidance

Verified Jun 2026. Free tier (web search, file uploads). Pro $20/mo ($17/mo billed annually). Max $100–$200/mo. Team $25/seat/mo ($20 annual). 500K-token context on the latest models. Native Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Slack connectors.

Why this tool

A 500K-token context on the latest models handles entire RFPs, contracts, and research sets in one conversation. Native Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace connectors let it work where you already do, and the writing is consistently more natural and less formulaic.

When not to use

If you need to generate images, ChatGPT (DALL·E) and Gemini still have the edge — Claude doesn't produce photos or illustrations.
