Which one fits?
ChatGPT Enterprise, if…
You need SCIM, EKM, data residency, custom legal terms or a BAA through a Regulated Workspace, and you’re big enough for a sales-led contract.
ChatGPT Business, if…
You want frontier models with admin controls and no training by default, and processing on OpenAI’s servers is acceptable for your files.
Claude Team or Enterprise, if…
You prefer Anthropic’s models; Enterprise publishes a per-seat price plus usage, with audit logs and custom retention.
Microsoft 365 Copilot, if…
The office already lives in Word, Outlook and Teams and you want AI inside those apps.
A private box, if…
The work is client files you’d rather not upload, you’re 2–30 people, and one flat price for everyone matters more than having the strongest model.
How is ChatGPT Enterprise billed?
OpenAI doesn’t publish an Enterprise price. Its pricing page says “custom pricing” and points to sales, with invoicing and volume discounts. OpenAI’s help center says the seat types and billing terms depend on each organization’s agreement. On credit-based agreements, standard ChatGPT seats include baseline access, and the workspace buys credits for usage beyond the included limits. Since an April 2, 2026 update, those agreements can also include Codex-only seats with no fixed per-user monthly cost, billed through credits.
We don’t repeat third-party Enterprise price estimates here, because OpenAI doesn’t confirm them. If you want a number, ask OpenAI’s sales team for a quote for your headcount.
What a private AI box changes, and what it doesn’t
What changes: the AI models run on a Mac mini in your office, so drafting and file search happen on that computer rather than on an AI provider’s servers. Everyone in the office uses it for one monthly price, with no seats to count.
What doesn’t: the models are open-weight models. They’re strong for drafts, summaries and searching your own files, and behind frontier cloud models on hard reasoning. You still own your security program, your professional rules and who can reach the box. AdminOnsite makes no compliance certifications.
The terms: a 12-month minimum, setup on your files, remote care and updates included. After 24 paid months, ownership of the box transfers to you for $1, with optional Care at $99 a month. See the full comparison with ChatGPT Business and Copilot.
Is there an Enterprise version of ChatGPT?
Yes. ChatGPT Enterprise is OpenAI’s managed plan for organizations, bought through sales rather than by credit card. It adds SCIM, EKM, role-based access controls, custom data retention, data residency in ten regions and priority support with SLAs for eligible customers. Smaller teams of 2 to 200 can buy ChatGPT Business self-serve instead.
How does ChatGPT charge Enterprise?
Through a custom contract. OpenAI lists Enterprise as “custom pricing” with invoicing and volume discounts, and says seat types and billing depend on the agreement. On credit-based agreements, seats include baseline access and the workspace buys credits for extra usage; Codex-only seats can have no fixed per-user monthly cost.
Is there a difference between ChatGPT Business and Enterprise?
Yes. Business is self-serve for 2 to 200 employees at $25 per user monthly or $20 annually. Enterprise is sales-led with custom pricing and adds SCIM, EKM, custom retention, an audit log through the Compliance API, data residency and priority support. Neither trains on your data by default, and both run on OpenAI’s servers.
Questions
Can ChatGPT Enterprise run on our own servers?
OpenAI’s pages describe Enterprise as a ChatGPT workspace your organization buys and administers; they don’t describe an on-premises version. Data residency in ten regions is about where OpenAI stores data, not keeping it in your office.
Does ChatGPT Enterprise come with a BAA?
OpenAI lists ChatGPT Enterprise with a Regulated Workspace as HIPAA-eligible with a BAA, for listed features only. Self-serve ChatGPT Business isn’t on that list.
Is ChatGPT Enterprise worth it for a 10-person firm?
OpenAI positions it for businesses operating at scale and sells it through sales; Business already covers 2 to 200 employees. For a 10-person office the realistic comparison is usually Business, Claude Team, Copilot or a private box.
Does AdminOnsite use ChatGPT?
No. AdminOnsite runs open-weight models on a Mac mini in your office. It isn’t affiliated with OpenAI, Anthropic or Microsoft.
Does a private box make us compliant?
No. We make no compliance claims. It keeps the files the AI works on in your office; what your rules require is still yours to decide.
