When it comes to AI tools for your business, it’s a bit like buying coffee. You could pay $30 for a fancy cup from a trendy café that comes with latte art and a hipster barista, or you could pay $7 for a cup that tastes just as good (or better) and offers direct contact with the café's team unlike the big fancy café.

In 2025, ChatGPT Team and BrainChat.ai Team are two popular choices for businesses looking to supercharge productivity with AI. Both are powerful, but one gives you way more flexibility, collaboration tools, and model options for way less money.
