Neurifly vs ChatGPT
ChatGPT is OpenAI's assistant, licensed per user, with European data residency offered on its business plans. Neurifly runs in the European Union on every plan and charges for the work that actually ran.
OpenAI sells ChatGPT per user, from a self serve business plan with a two seat minimum up to contracts handled by sales, and publishes European data residency for business customers, covering content stored at rest. For many companies that is enough. A ChatGPT alternative becomes interesting when the requirement moves from a single assistant to a governed platform: several vendors' models available on one account, a panel of them answering the same question when the answer matters, retrieval pointed at a specific knowledge base, folder or document, code executed in a sandbox with its network cut, and a cost model that follows usage instead of headcount. Neurifly provides that layer with European hosting as the default rather than an option, an append only record of every call including its cost, and spending limits per API key that refuse the request before the budget is exceeded.
| What you are comparing | Neurifly Apptivity | ChatGPT OpenAI |
|---|---|---|
| Paid for what runs, not per seat | Confirmed A balance you top up, spent on tokens, searches, runs and storage. No seats and no minimum. | Unconfirmed Business is 25 dollars per user a month, 20 billed annually, minimum 2 seats. Enterprise goes through sales. source |
| Runs in the European Union without changing plan | Confirmed European Union by default, on every plan. There is no region to switch on. | In part European data residency is offered on the business plans at no extra cost and covers stored content. source |
| Models from more than one vendor on one account | Confirmed Models from several vendors, including open weight ones, picked per conversation and billed on one account. | Unconfirmed OpenAI's own models. source |
| Every call recorded with its tokens, latency and cost | Confirmed An append only trail with the model, tokens, latency, cost and the key that made the call. Agent runs are hash chained. | In part The Enterprise pages list the admin and compliance features. source |
| A budget per key, refused before the spend | Confirmed A limit per key and per organization. The call is refused before it goes past the limit rather than invoiced after. | Unconfirmed The seat price is fixed and API usage is billed separately. source |
| Attach files to a conversation | Confirmed Documents and images go into the conversation and land in a knowledge base you control. | Confirmed A standard part of the product. source |
| Answers can search the web | Confirmed Search is a platform service: the organization picks the engine, results are redacted before the model sees them, and every query is priced and recorded. | Confirmed A standard part of the product. source |
| Single sign on for the whole company | Confirmed Sign in with the company account, with roles and a permission catalogue enforced by every service rather than by the interface. | Confirmed Listed on the Enterprise pages. source |
| Several models answer the same question at once | Confirmed Fusion sends the question to a panel of models in parallel and a separate model synthesises the result. | Unconfirmed See the vendor's own pages. source |
| Every source opens on the passage it came from, with its page and relevance | Confirmed Sources are numbered from what retrieval actually returned, and each opens the passage with its page number and its relevance score. | In part ChatGPT cites what it reads; the detail is on OpenAI's pages. source |
| You choose what a conversation may read: a base, folders, or single documents | Confirmed Retrieval is pointed at a knowledge base, at folders in it, or at named documents, and access is granted per base and per group. | In part Files and workspace knowledge are offered; the detail is on OpenAI's pages. source |
| Code the model writes runs in a sandbox with its network cut | Confirmed The runner installs a filter on itself that cuts the network, files it produces come back to you, and the run is recorded like any other action. | In part OpenAI publishes a code interpreter feature; the detail is on its pages. source |
