GleanBUY
The enterprise AI search tool that actually knows your stuff

Glean has become the default Work AI platform for Fortune 500 enterprises — $200M ARR, $7.2B valuation, and deep integrations across every major SaaS tool. The weak spot is overlap with Microsoft Copilot for M365-heavy shops; outside that, nothing competes.

Choose Glean if...

Companies of 500+ employees where knowledge lives across many SaaS tools and people lose hours daily searching.

Avoid Glean if...

Small teams — under ~200 people, ChatGPT Enterprise or Microsoft Copilot with basic connectors is dramatically cheaper.

Choose You.com if...

Analysts, researchers, and enterprise teams wanting cited AI search with model choice and privacy guarantees beyond consumer tools.

Avoid You.com if...

Users happy with ChatGPT or Claude desktop — You.com's edge is in search and enterprise privacy, less in chat UX.
