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.; Talkwalker now rebranded Lumen by Talkwalker; pricing page names three tiers, Core, Analyze and Business, differentiated by non-sampled results volume (2x and 6x) and topic/filter/channel counts, but publishes no figures and directs buyers to request a custom quote
  • They diverge on capability: ChatGPT covers Natural language conversation, Talkwalker covers Social listening.
