Why people look for ChatGPT Enterprise alternatives
ChatGPT Enterprise is priced per-seat ($60+/user/mo with 150-seat minimums) and you're paying for seats that barely log in.
It's a chat assistant, not a doer — your team still writes the prompts, reviews the output, and does the actual work.
Single-vendor lock-in to OpenAI models — no way to route to Claude when Claude would do the job better.
No persistent roles: every conversation starts fresh; no AI CMO that remembers last quarter's campaigns.
