💸 The smarter way to roll out AI across your team

Your team pays $200+/mo for AI.
It doesn't have to.

Individual ChatGPT or Claude subscriptions cost $20–30 per person per month. With Plug and AI in Slack, your whole team shares one balance — ~$35/month total for a team of 10, on your existing free Slack plan.

How most teams use AI today — and why it's expensive

Most teams end up in one of two situations, both of which cost more than they should.

😤

Option A — Everyone has their own subscription

  • • Half the team uses ChatGPT, half uses Claude, some use both
  • • $20–30/person/month × headcount = hundreds per month
  • • No shared context — everyone works in their own silo
  • • Finance chasing reimbursements from 15 different people
  • • New hire? Another subscription to set up and pay for
😕

Option B — Only power users have access

  • • AI is too expensive to give everyone — so only a few get it
  • • Others copy-paste from chatgpt.com or use free-tier limits
  • • Uneven productivity: half the team has a superpower, half doesn't
  • • Context not shared — AI answers live in personal chat histories
  • • Hard to justify ROI when only 3 people actually use it
💡

There's a third option: one shared AI workspace in Slack — where your team already works.

The Slack approach: one app, whole team, one bill

Most teams already use Slack — even on the free plan. Installing Plug and AI takes one click and instantly gives everyone in your workspace access to 300+ AI models. No individual accounts. No per-seat billing. No onboarding each person separately.

1

Install once — everyone's in

One admin adds Plug and AI to your Slack workspace. Every team member can immediately use @ai in any channel or DM. No individual setup, no invitations, no account creation per person.

2

Top up once — shared balance covers everyone

One Stripe payment goes into a workspace balance. All team members draw from the same pool. No reimbursements. Finance sees one line item. When credits run low, top up — that's it.

3

AI in the open — shared context by default

Questions and answers live in Slack threads — visible to the whole team. No siloed conversations in personal ChatGPT accounts. Knowledge stays in your workspace, not in someone's browser history.

4

Free Slack plan? No problem

Plug and AI works on free Slack plans. You don't need Pro or Business. Most small teams are on the free plan already — just add the plugin and you're done.

What does team AI actually cost?

Estimated monthly cost at moderate AI usage. Per-seat tools charge whether users are active or not.

Team size ChatGPT Plus
$20/user/mo		 Claude Pro
$20/user/mo		 Plug and AI
pay-per-use		 You save
5 people $100/mo $100/mo ~$18/mo ~$82/mo
10 people $200/mo $200/mo ~$35/mo ~$165/mo
20 people $400/mo $400/mo ~$70/mo ~$330/mo
50 people $1,000/mo $1,000/mo ~$175/mo ~$825/mo

* Plug and AI estimates based on moderate usage (~few AI queries/day/person) with mixed free and paid models. Actual costs scale with usage — lighter users spend less.

Native AI apps vs Plug and AI in Slack

ChatGPT.com, Claude.ai, and other native interfaces are great for personal use. But for teams, they create friction.

Aspect ChatGPT.com / Claude.ai
(native interfaces)		 Plug and AI in Slack
Setup per person Account + subscription per user One install, everyone's in
Billing Per-person, per-month One workspace balance
Team cost (10 people) $200+/mo ~$35/mo
Shared context Private — lives in personal accounts In Slack threads — visible to team
Context switching Leave Slack → open browser tab Stay in Slack — just @ai
Channel summarization Not possible (no Slack access) Free with open-source models
Models available 1 per app (GPT or Claude, not both) 300+ — switch mid-conversation
Free usage tier Limited free tiers per person Free open-source models — no limits
Image generation in workflow Separate tool / separate tab In Slack — Flux, Nano Banana 2

What your team gets with Plug and AI

Every team member can use GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Llama, Mistral and more. Switch by mentioning the model: @ai claude ... or @ai gemini ...

Summarize Channels & Threads

Anyone can catch up on what was discussed: @ai summarize #product from last 2 weeks. Free with open-source models — zero cost.

Image Generation for the Whole Team

Generate visuals with Flux and Nano Banana 2, analyze screenshots with vision models — right in the channel where the conversation happens.

No Slack upgrade needed. If your team is on the free Slack plan, just install Plug and AI and you're done. @mentions, DMs, /ai — all work.

One Invoice, Zero Headaches

One Stripe payment, one workspace balance, one line item for Finance. No chasing 10 reimbursements. No managing 10 separate AI accounts.

Who is this for?

🚀

Startups and small teams (5–30 people)

You want everyone to have AI but $200+/mo for ChatGPT is hard to justify. Plug and AI costs ~$35/mo for 10 people — less than one ChatGPT seat.

💼

Teams already using Slack (free or paid)

If your team is already in Slack, adding Plug and AI is one click. No new tool to learn — just @ai in any channel.

📊

Operations and finance teams

Tired of approving 15 individual AI subscriptions? One workspace balance, one invoice, zero friction. AI costs tracked centrally.

🔬

R&D and product teams

Compare GPT vs Claude vs Gemini in the same thread. Switch models mid-conversation. 300+ models available — stop being limited to one provider.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cheapest way to give AI to my whole team?

The cheapest way is Plug and AI in Slack. If your team already uses Slack (even the free plan), install it in one click — giving everyone access to 300+ AI models for approximately $35/month total for a team of 10. That's compared to $200+/month with per-seat ChatGPT or Claude subscriptions.

How do I give my team access to ChatGPT without paying per seat?

Use Plug and AI in Slack. Instead of every team member having their own ChatGPT subscription at $20–30/month each, you install one Slack app that gives everyone access to GPT-5 (and 300+ other models) from a single shared workspace balance. A team of 10 typically spends ~$35/month total — about 6× cheaper.

Do I need a paid Slack plan to use Plug and AI?

No. Plug and AI works on free Slack plans. @mentions, DMs, /ai commands, channel summarization, image generation — everything works without upgrading Slack. Most small teams are on the free plan already.

Can my whole team share one AI subscription?

Yes — that's exactly what Plug and AI does. One workspace balance covers your entire team. Top up via Stripe once and everyone can use it. Costs scale with actual usage, not headcount. Light users don't cost anything extra.

Is Plug and AI as good as ChatGPT or Claude?

Yes — because it gives you access to the exact same models. You get GPT-5.4, Claude Sonnet 4.6, Gemini 3.1 Pro, and 300+ others. You're not using a copy or a watered-down version — you're accessing the same AI models directly via their APIs.

How does billing work for teams?

One workspace admin tops up a shared credit balance via Stripe. All team members draw from that balance when they use AI. You can see usage stats in the App Home. Just a 10% service fee on top of AI provider rates — no per-seat charges.
