OpenAI ChatGPT
Founder, Automation Squad
Strong Pick
Ranked #1 of 10 AI assistants & chat
$20
The default choice, and for most executives that's the right call. ChatGPT Business runs $25/seat/month billed monthly ($20 annual, 2-seat minimum), and the free tier alone is more capable than most paid tools from three years ago. The catch is sprawl: OpenAI ships new model names so often that nobody on your team can tell you which one they're actually talking to.
Standout feature: The widest connector ecosystem of the assistants here, though OpenAI does not publish a count — if a tool has an integration, it's this one.
The verdict
OpenAI ChatGPT earns a SquadScore of 77.1/100 (strong pick), ranking #1 of 10 AI assistants & chat we’ve scored at $20. The widest connector ecosystem of the assistants here, though OpenAI does not publish a count — if a tool has an integration, it's this one.
Scored by the published SquadScore v1.0.0 methodology from vendor-published specs, August 2026.
Pros
- Broadest third-party integration and GPT-store ecosystem
- Advanced Voice Mode is genuinely useful for hands-free dictation and thinking out loud
- Business tier trains on your data by default — never; it's opt-out from day one
Cons
- Model naming is a mess (Plus, Pro, Go, Business all get different model access) — expect to explain this to your team more than once
- $25/seat monthly ($20 annual) undercuts nothing at scale; a 50-seat rollout is real budget

OpenAI's own pricing page (openai.com/chatgpt/pricing) returned a 403 to automated fetches during research; figures are cross-checked against OpenAI's Help Center rate-card article and multiple July 2026 secondary sources instead of pulled live. Context window is a range because OpenAI's current Business-tier models (GPT-5.6 Luna/Terra vs. Sol) don't share one figure — 128K on the fast models, 272K on Sol. Treat the exact figure as approximate until confirmed against a live OpenAI page. Rewired to the categories.ts eight-spec schema: securityTier is 'SOC 2 + SSO' — OpenAI's Help Center confirms SAML SSO and SOC 2 Type 2 on the Business tier itself, while audit logs and SCIM are gated to the Enterprise Compliance Platform, so Business doesn't clear the audit rung. connectorSupport is 'MCP + agent actions' — full read/write MCP support (Developer Mode) shipped to Business/Enterprise/Edu in beta, and Agent mode already takes actions rather than only reading. integrations is left null: no official OpenAI page states a single connector count (chatgpt.com/business/business-plan/ 403'd), and secondary sources swing from '15+' to '60+' depending on snapshot date — too wide to record without guessing. freeTier remapped from 'Yes' to 'generous'. appCoverage is 'web + desktop + mobile' — ChatGPT ships native Mac/Windows desktop apps alongside the iOS/Android apps already on file.
Corrected Aug 16, 2026pricePerSeat corrected 25 -> 20. The rubric reads every price as the business tier BILLED ANNUALLY, and ChatGPT Business is $20/user/mo annual ($25 monthly, 2-seat minimum). The old 25 was the monthly rate, and has been wrong since OpenAI's 2026-04-02 price cut (previously $25 annual / $30 monthly). openai.com/chatgpt/pricing and the Business help-center article both 403 automated fetches, so this is corroborated across multiple secondary sources reporting the same figures and the same cut date.
