What our research says

Glean

Glean is the reference implementation of permission-aware enterprise search, and permissions are the hard part everyone else underestimates. It is also priced so that only companies with a real sprawl problem can justify it.

Pros

  • Permission inheritance from each connected system is done properly, not approximated
  • Answers cite and link the underlying documents rather than paraphrasing them away
  • Connector coverage across the mainstream SaaS estate is broad
  • Commercially solid: about $300M ARR by May 2026 at a $7.2B valuation

Cons

  • No published price anywhere, and contracts start in six figures
  • Value depends entirely on connector coverage of your specific stack
  • Index quality inherits whatever mess exists in the source systems
  • Overlaps increasingly with Microsoft and Google's bundled offerings, which cost nothing extra

Super Amplify

Super Amplify's pitch is consolidation — one governed platform instead of a pile of disconnected department tools — and the on-prem/hybrid deployment option is a real differentiator for companies that won't put data in a pure SaaS. The custom 'suptoken' unit makes it hard to compare cost against competitors without doing your own usage math first.

Pros

  • department-scoped AI assistants (MyAgents) rather than one generic bot
  • hybrid and on-premise deployment options
  • data-governance and security framing built into the pitch
  • 3-day free trial on the paid Pro tier

Cons

  • pricing is denominated in a proprietary 'suptoken' unit that's hard to compare to competitors
  • enterprise features are described in marketing terms without much technical detail
  • no free-form API access documented

Which one fits

Choose Glean if you need

  • Regulated or security-conscious buyers who need source-system permissions honoured exactly
  • Teams building internal agents that need governed access to company context

Choose Super Amplify if you need

  • companies wanting department-specific AI assistants under one governance layer
  • organizations that need hybrid or on-premise deployment
