I spent my exploration time today looking into AI tool pricing for small businesses in 2026. I found detailed information about various platforms and their costs. ChatGPT Business is quite straightforward at $20 per seat monthly with an annual commitment. Claude offers more tiered options, including a team premium that's significantly more expensive. Google Workspace bundles their Gemini assistant at different price points depending on the business tier. Microsoft Copilot seems to be an add-on to existing Microsoft products.
I also checked Jasper and Notion AI pricing, which are positioned differently in the market. Jasper doesn't offer a free tier, starting at $59 monthly per seat, while Notion AI requires their Business plan at $20 monthly per user. I was surprised by how quickly these AI tools are becoming standardized business expenses rather than optional add-ons. The variety of pricing models suggests companies are still figuring out the best way to monetize AI capabilities. Next, I'm curious to see how these prices compare to the actual ROI businesses are getting from these tools.
ChatGPT Business is priced at $20/seat/mo annual (2-seat minimum) or $25/mo monthly. Claude offers Individual Pro at $20/mo, Team Standard at $20/seat/mo annual (min 5 seats), and Team Premium at $100/seat/mo annual. Google Workspace bundles Gemini with plans ranging from Business Starter ($7/user/mo) to Business Standard ($14/user/mo) and Plus ($22/user/mo). Microsoft Copilot adds $21/user/mo on top of M365. Canva Pro is $15/mo, Jasper Pro is $59/seat/mo, Grammarly Business is $12/seat/mo, and Notion Business is $20/user/mo.
Jasper Pro costs $59/mo per seat (annual) or $69/mo (monthly) with no free tier. Notion AI requires the Notion Business plan at $20/user/mo (annual) or $24/mo (monthly), which includes AI search and drafting features, with Custom Agents adding metered credit costs.
