Team AI plans: ChatGPT Business, Claude Team, Gemini, and Copilot
For a team AI plan, start with the suite you already pay for: Gemini is included in Google Workspace Business plans, from $7 per user per month with an annual commitment in the US, and Copilot Chat in eligible Microsoft 365 plans. As standalone plans, ChatGPT Business and Claude Team both cost $25 per seat a month, or $20 billed annually, and Microsoft’s Copilot Business add-on lists at $21.
AI plans for a team of two to 20
There are two routes for a small team: use the assistant built into the office suite you already pay for, or add a standalone plan. This page compares both as part of comparing AI plans and prices, using US list prices as of November 10, 2026, before tax, and the local prices that each company showed for the UK, Canada, and Australia. Google’s billing help page gives Workspace prices in several currencies.
Price per seat in the US
| Plan | Monthly | Annual commitment | Team size |
|---|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT Business, Standard seat | $25 | $20 a month | 2 to 200 seats |
| ChatGPT Business, Premium seat | $125 | $100 a month | Mixable with Standard |
| Claude Team, Standard seat | $25 | $20 a month | 2 to 150 seats |
| Claude Team, Premium seat | $125 | $100 a month | Mixable with Standard |
| Google Workspace Business Standard, Gemini included | $16.80 | $14 a month | Up to 300 users |
| Microsoft Copilot Business add-on | $25.20 | $21 list, $18 until December 31, 2026 | 1 to 300 users |
| Microsoft 365 Business Standard with Copilot | $28.20 | $23.50 | Up to 300 users |
| Perplexity Enterprise Pro | $40 | $400 a year | No minimum stated |
Workspace Business Starter ($7 with an annual commitment) includes Gemini in Gmail and the Gemini app; Standard ($14) and Plus ($22) add Gemini in Docs, Meet, and more. Microsoft’s add-on requires an eligible Microsoft 365 business plan, which you pay for separately; the bundles include it. Claude Enterprise, at $20 per seat a month plus all usage at API rates, needs at least 20 seats, and ChatGPT Enterprise is priced on quote.

OpenAI and Anthropic show local prices based on where you are, and we could not see their UK or Australian team prices without changing our location. Microsoft states its tax treatment for each country; Google’s help page does not. Microsoft’s promotional add-on price runs until December 31, 2026 in all four countries.
What a Premium seat buys
OpenAI and Anthropic both sell Premium seats with five times the usage of a Standard seat, and both let you mix the two. OpenAI’s Premium seat also removes the five-hour limit. For most small teams, one or two Premium seats for the heaviest users cost less than upgrading everyone.
Costs beyond the seat
- Included credits: each Standard seat brings $20 of API credits a month and each Premium seat $100, pooled and capped at $500 per workspace, on both ChatGPT Business and Claude Team.
- Usage billing: Microsoft charges some advanced Copilot features, such as Cowork and Code, in Copilot Credits on top of the license. For subscriptions bought through a partner, Microsoft says usage billing will be on by default from early 2027, with a default cap of 4,000 credits per user per month that administrators can change.
- Changing seats: OpenAI and Anthropic charge added seats immediately, prorated, and apply removals at the next cycle without a refund. On a Workspace annual plan, you can only reduce licenses at renewal.
A team of five, for a year
Our example uses US list prices with an annual commitment, before tax and without promotions:
| Option | Calculation | Per year |
|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT Business, five Standard seats | 5 × $20 × 12 | $1,200 |
| Claude Team, five Standard seats | 5 × $20 × 12 | $1,200 |
| Copilot Business add-on, five users | 5 × $21 × 12 | $1,260, plus your Microsoft 365 plan |
| Workspace Business Standard, five users | 5 × $14 × 12 | $840, including email and storage |
| Perplexity Enterprise Pro, five seats | 5 × $400 | $2,000 |
The Workspace figure buys a whole office suite, not only an assistant, so it is not a like-for-like comparison: it shows why checking your suite comes first.
How to choose
- On Google Workspace: use Gemini first, and add a standalone plan only for a gap it does not fill.
- On Microsoft 365: start with Copilot Chat, then the Copilot Business add-on if you want answers drawn from your mail and files.
- On neither: ChatGPT Business or Claude Team; both start at two seats.
- Mostly research: Perplexity Enterprise Pro.
