What is Glean?
Enterprise search and agents across company knowledge.
Who is Glean best for?
Glean is best for large companies that want one permission-aware AI assistant across all their work apps.
Company-wide search
It searches across the apps a company runs on, such as Slack, Google Drive, Jira, Confluence, SharePoint, GitHub and Salesforce, from one place.
IT and security teams
Answers follow each person's existing permissions, and Glean holds SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 42001 and HIPAA credentials.
Teams building their own agents
Employees can build and share agents in plain language on top of company knowledge, with admin governance over the agents.
Rolling AI out to every employee
It is licensed per seat for the whole company, works with many AI models and gives admins limits on model spend.
How much does Glean cost?
Glean does not publish prices: it is licensed per user per month through a sales demo, with usage-based charges on top for heavier AI work, and the maker states no free plan or trial.
Glean's docs describe two ways to buy, Glean Core Suite and Glean Enterprise Flex, both licensed per user per month, with AI model usage or pooled FlexCredits billed on top for heavier work; the seat and credit prices come only from sales. Seats and credits cost less for companies that bring their own model keys or host Glean in their own cloud. Plans and current prices are on docs.glean.com.
