FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers about wallet credit, usage, subscriptions, and how Tycoon charges for work.
Is Tycoon a direct ChatGPT Enterprise competitor?
No. ChatGPT Enterprise is a per-seat AI assistant for companies — every employee logs in and chats with ChatGPT inside a compliant, admin-controlled environment. Tycoon is a pre-hired AI team (AI CEO Astra, AI CMO, AI CTO, AI COO, AI CFO plus specialists) that one person directs by chat to run an entire company. ChatGPT Enterprise makes your existing employees faster. Tycoon is the employees. If you already have 500 people and want AI, buy ChatGPT Enterprise. If you are the one person trying to run the company, Tycoon is the category.
Can I get ChatGPT Enterprise-level compliance from Tycoon?
Not yet at that tier. ChatGPT Enterprise has SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA availability, ISO 27001, EU data residency, and SSO/SCIM mature enough for Fortune 500 procurement. Tycoon is on the SOC 2 path but we are not there today. If your compliance team requires completed audit reports on the order form, we're honest: pick ChatGPT Enterprise. If you're a founder who owns your own risk decisions and a signed DPA is enough, Tycoon works.
What about pricing — which costs less?
ChatGPT Enterprise is custom-priced, typically around $60 per seat per month with a 150-seat minimum — so roughly $108,000 per year as a floor. Tycoon is usage-based: most solo founders spend $50 to $500 a month for the full AI team. For one person or a small team, Tycoon is dramatically cheaper. For 500 employees each needing their own assistant, ChatGPT Enterprise is the better unit economics — Tycoon is not priced for that shape.
Can Tycoon use GPT-4 / o3 / o1 models?
Yes. Tycoon routes different roles to different models — AI CTO tasks may hit Claude or GPT-4-class models, AI CMO may use a different mix, AI CFO may route to models better at reasoning over numbers. You don't pick the model per message; the team does. ChatGPT Enterprise is a pure OpenAI stack (GPT-4o, o3, o1, DALL-E). If you specifically need the OpenAI stack and no other, ChatGPT Enterprise fits. If you want best-of-breed routing, Tycoon fits.
Should I use both?
Sometimes, yes. A reasonable pattern: ChatGPT Enterprise for your 50 employees who each want a compliant assistant, Tycoon running in parallel as an AI ops team handling things no individual employee owns — competitive research, weekly reports, content production, pricing analysis. They solve different problems so they don't step on each other. Most of our users don't buy both because they don't have 50 employees yet, but it's a valid stack.
