ChatGPT Teams is $25/user/month for OpenAI's models + custom GPTs. Perpetual Core is $99/month for multi-model routing (Claude + GPT-4o + Gemini), shared organizational memory, 15 industry advisors, and the option to install AI workflows that move real metrics. Here's when each makes sense.
| Capability | Perpetual Core | ChatGPT Teams |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-model routing (Claude + GPT-4o + Gemini) ChatGPT Teams is locked to OpenAI models. PC routes each query to the best model for the task. | ||
| Persistent organizational memory across all sessions ChatGPT has per-conversation memory + Projects, but no org-wide shared memory layer. | ||
| 15 industry-specific AI advisors PC ships pre-built advisors (legal, ops, HR, fundraising, clinical, etc). ChatGPT requires you build custom GPTs from scratch. | ||
| Custom GPTs / advisor builder | ||
| Document RAG on your full corpus (pgvector) ChatGPT custom GPTs accept ~20 docs each. PC indexes your whole document store with pgvector. | ||
| Gmail + Google Calendar integration ChatGPT Teams has no native calendar/email connectors. PC has both. | ||
| BYOK (bring your own OpenAI / Anthropic key) On PC Pro tier you can route through your existing enterprise API keys. | ||
| Production engagement option ($75K+ install) PC offers Atlas Discovery ($5K-$15K) → full engagement. ChatGPT is self-serve only. | ||
| 10–15% of revenue funds nonprofit mission work Every PC dollar partially funds the Institute for Human Advancement. | ||
| 501(c)(3) nonprofit discount OpenAI has limited nonprofit programs. PC ships 30% off Vellum for verified 501(c)(3)s. | ||
| SOC 2 / SSO / SAML on team tier | ||
| Self-serve pricing under $100/user/month ChatGPT Teams: $25/user/mo (min 2 users). PC Pro: $99/mo single, Teams custom. |
Your team uses AI primarily for individual one-off prompts, you're happy with OpenAI's models specifically, you don't need calendar/email integration, and your document corpus fits within custom GPTs' per-GPT file limits. It's a great single-model chat product and we're not trying to talk you out of it.
You want one operating layer your whole team shares — with multi-model routing (so Claude handles long-context, GPT-4o handles vision, Gemini handles spreadsheet work), persistent org memory, the 15 pre-built industry advisors, and Gmail/Calendar connectors. Or you want the option to install AI workflows ($75K+ engagement) that move real metrics — which ChatGPT doesn't offer.
Many of our customers keep ChatGPT Teams for individual prompts and add Perpetual Core as the persistent organizational layer. Pro tier is $99/month with BYOK support — bring your existing OpenAI API key and route through your enterprise contract. No migration tax.
