Questions
- Is there a Glean alternative we can run in our own cloud?
- Yes. Mithrandir runs in your own cloud account on AWS, Azure or GCP by default. Onyx can be self-hosted. Unblocked and Zep offer on-premises or your-own-VPC deployment on their Enterprise plans. Glean itself is vendor-hosted.
- Does Mithrandir work with Copilot, Claude and ChatGPT?
- Yes. Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor and 16 more agents ask Mithrandir directly, 20 in all. Nobody changes the tool they work in.
- What do Glean alternatives cost?
- Glean does not publish a price. Mithrandir is $29 per seat per month for early customers, Unblocked Platform is $29, Microsoft 365 Copilot Enterprise is $30, Onyx cloud is $20, and Zep starts free.
- What does switching cost?
- Little. Mithrandir reads the sources your company already has, 26 of them, so nothing is migrated by hand and nobody moves to a new app. It installs in one step on AWS, Azure or GCP, and the first useful answers come back the same week. Seats are $29 per month for early customers.
