ChatGPT Enterprise
A workplace AI assistant that helps staff write, research, and analyze data, kept private and never used to train the model.
An AI search and research tool that combines live web search with several AI models, sold to businesses by quote.
You.com Enterprise is an AI search and research tool. Staff use it to search the web and browse pages, and to generate and analyze images. Instead of relying on one AI model, it routes answers across several. It also offers search indexes tuned for specific industries and topics, and a way to build custom assistants on top of its search tools. It is the business version of You.com, a smaller company than the major cloud or model vendors. You.com publishes security information, including SOC 2 Type 2 compliance and a trust portal. Confirm the controls and data terms included in your proposed enterprise package before an evaluation.
This fits a team whose main need is research and current web information rather than document drafting or coding, and that wants to draw on several AI models instead of committing to one vendor. A pilot with a research, marketing, or competitive-intelligence team is a good way to test it against tools staff already use. You.com does not publish enterprise seat pricing, so treat any figure as a placeholder and request a quote and a trial period. Independent reviews and case studies for its enterprise tier are thinner than for larger competitors. Verify current features, security certifications, and admin controls directly with the vendor rather than relying on marketing pages, and weigh that limited track record against the flexibility of its multi-model approach.

Estimate assumptions: Based on 20 enabled users. This is a planning allowance, not verified product pricing. Confirm the vendor’s billing unit and current price or quote before budgeting.
Benefits have not been estimated: The current research does not estimate potential savings, return on investment, or how long it would take to recover the cost. Earlier benefit estimates are excluded.
Confirm current product identity, commercial packaging, data processing terms, sign-in and access rules, retention, integrations, support model, implementation effort, and rollback conditions.
Verify identity, package, availability, ownership, pricing, and security evidence before approving a pilot
Do not approve a pilot yet. Verify the current product identity, package, availability, owner, pricing, and security evidence; then define one workflow, a baseline, and rollback criteria.
Define what success looks like for a test of You.com Enterprise and assign someone to lead it.
Once the requirements above are met, compare a small trial with how your team works today.
Track adoption, output quality, business results, and actual costs against the estimate.
Use the results to decide whether to stop, adjust, or expand the pilot.
Confirm encryption, how the vendor uses your data, customer data separation, how long data stays and how to delete it, activity records, sign-in and user setup, where data is handled, other companies that process data, past incidents, and what your team must manage.
Review before rollout: confirm how to export your data, revoke access, and return to your existing workflow. Assign an owner and test the rollback plan before expanding use.
Do not approve a pilot yet. Verify the current product identity, package, availability, owner, pricing, and security evidence; then define one workflow, a baseline, and rollback criteria.
