The short version

  • Only ChatGPT has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: ChatGPT openAI's own pricing page, as captured by the Internet Archive in 2023, listed ChatGPT Plus at $20 per user per month, Team at $25 to $30 per user per month with a minimum of 2 users, and Enterprise available only from 150 users. The live page refuses automated reads, so these are 2023 figures and the tiers have changed since.; Salesforce Service Cloud the vendor's own pricing page as captured by the Internet Archive on 29 December 2021 listed four Service Cloud tiers billed annually per user per month in USD: $25, $75, $150 (Enterprise, marked most popular), and $300; add-ons such as Omni-Channel Supervisor cost an additional $75 per user per month and Google Apps/Outlook integration an additional $25 per user per month on lower tiers
