10 Best AI Enterprise Search Tools of 2026

By the TopToolAdvisor research desk · Updated November 12, 2026 · Next review December 27, 2026 · 10 products scored

Our pickGleanlarge companies with knowledge spread across dozens of apps8.7

Our pick in brief

Glean is the strongest dedicated enterprise search platform, with more than 275 connectors, permission-aware access and support for more than 40 LLMs, but it is priced through sales. If most of your content sits in Microsoft 365, the Copilot Business add-on at $18 per user per month paid yearly brings search and answers into the apps your staff already use, and Gemini Enterprise plays the same role for Google-centric companies. Jira and Confluence teams already get Rovo Search, Chat and Agents with Confluence Standard at $5.78 per user. For a self-serve start, GoSearch has a free plan and a $20 Pro tier, Onyx offers $20 seats with on-premise options, and Amazon Quick Essentials costs $3 per user plus $250 per account. Pick Moveworks for search tied to IT and HR self-service, Guru for verified support answers, and Coveo when one index must serve both employees and customers.

Quick answer

Glean is the best AI enterprise search tool for companies searching across many internal apps in 2026, because it lists more than 275 connectors with permission-aware answers. Microsoft 365 Copilot suits Microsoft 365 companies at $18 per user per month paid yearly for the Business add-on, and Atlassian Rovo is the cheapest verified per-user option, included with Confluence Standard at $5.78 per user per month, while GoSearch has a free plan. Prices were checked as of November 2026.

This list is for companies that want employees to search every internal app from one place and get AI answers with sources, instead of hunting through Slack, Drive, Jira and SharePoint separately. We compared documented features and published prices for 10 tools and scored each on features, ease of use and value. Prices are the cheapest paid tier in US dollars as shown on the vendor pricing page on the date we checked. Glean, Guru, Coveo and Moveworks sell through sales only, and Google did not show USD seat prices for Gemini Enterprise on the pages we could load, so those entries are marked as pending. Dashworks was left out because its standalone product was folded into HubSpot.

    Glean

    An enterprise AI platform that indexes company apps and data for permission-aware search, an assistant and agents.

    Price

    See vendor pricing (USD check pending); Glean prices through sales

    We could not confirm a US price yet. Check the Glean pricing page.

    Glean ranks first because it is built around the exact job this list covers: one search box and assistant that reads every internal system an employee can access. The vendor lists more than 275 connectors, the broadest catalog here, and states that access is permission-aware from day one, so results respect each user's rights in the source app. Glean supports more than 40 LLMs and its November 2026 release added automatic model routing, Glean inside Microsoft Teams and Excel, and AI memory across workflows. Agents and APIs let teams turn search results into actions and custom tools. On security, the site lists SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, HIPAA and TX-RAMP Level 2. The trade-off is cost visibility: Glean publishes no prices, so buyers must go through sales, and the product is aimed at enterprise rollouts rather than a ten-person team trying it on a credit card.

    Strengths

    • +The widest connector catalog on this list at 275+ sources
    • +Lists SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 42001 and HIPAA among its compliance credentials
    • +Model choice across 40+ LLMs instead of a single vendor's model

    Drawbacks

    • −No public price, so budgeting needs a sales quote
    • −Built for enterprise rollouts rather than small teams
    • −Value depends on connecting many systems, which takes admin time

    Microsoft 365 Copilot

    Copilot Business add-on from $18 per user per month paid yearly; enterprise add-on $30

    Quoted from the Microsoft 365 Copilot pricing page on November 12, 2026: now starting from $18.00

    Microsoft 365 Copilot is the natural pick when your documents, mail and chats already sit in SharePoint, Outlook and Teams. Microsoft describes Copilot as a way to find answers and understand information so staff spend less time searching, and it works inside Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams rather than in a separate portal. Beyond chat, the business page lists Cowork for handing off multi-step work, agents for specific processes, Notebooks and Autopilot. Pricing is public: the Copilot Business add-on was listed at $18 per user per month paid yearly, reduced from $21, and Microsoft also sells Business Standard with Copilot at $23.50 and Business Premium with Copilot at $32. Larger organizations pay $30 per user per month for the enterprise add-on. The limits are the prerequisite Microsoft 365 license, extra usage-based billing for select advanced features, and a reach that is strongest inside Microsoft's own apps.

    Strengths

    • +Lives inside the apps Microsoft 365 users already open every day
    • +Business add-on listed at $18 per user per month paid yearly, down from $21
    • +Bundles with Business Standard ($23.50) or Business Premium ($32) when bought together

    Drawbacks

    • −Requires a qualifying Microsoft 365 plan
    • −Enterprise add-on costs $30 per user per month paid yearly
    • −Some advanced AI features use separate usage-based billing

    Atlassian Rovo

    Atlassian's AI search, chat and agents, included in Jira and Confluence cloud plans and powered by the Teamwork Graph.

    Included with Confluence Standard at $5.78 per user per month; extra Rovo credits $0.01 each

    Quoted from the Atlassian Rovo pricing page on November 12, 2026: Standard Everything you need to get started $5.78 per user / month

    Atlassian Rovo is the cheapest way on this list to give a team AI search with answers, because Atlassian now bundles it into its cloud plans. Confluence Standard, listed at $5.78 per user per month, includes Rovo Search, Chat and Agents, and Atlassian says no separate Rovo purchase is required for eligible sites. Rovo runs on the Teamwork Graph, which Atlassian describes as connecting work, knowledge, people and systems across first- and third-party tools. Usage is measured in credits: Jira or Confluence Standard includes 25 credits per user per month, Premium 70 and Enterprise 150, while Teamwork Collection and Service Collection plans get 250 to 1,500. Credits are pooled across the organization, and extra usage costs $0.01 per credit. The limits are clear too: you need an Atlassian Cloud Standard plan or higher, the Standard credit allowance is small for heavy users, and the experience is richest for content that already lives in Jira and Confluence.

    Strengths

    • +No separate Rovo purchase: Atlassian adds it to eligible cloud sites
    • +Lowest verified per-user entry price on this list at $5.78 via Confluence Standard
    • +Teamwork Collection gives 10x the credit allowance of standalone apps

    Drawbacks

    • −Requires an Atlassian Cloud Standard, Premium or Enterprise plan
    • −Standard plans include only 25 Rovo credits per user per month
    • −Strongest on Atlassian content; other apps depend on the Teamwork Graph connections

    Gemini Enterprise

    Google Cloud's agent and search platform, formerly Agentspace, with permission-aware enterprise search across Google and third-party data.

    Price

    See vendor pricing (USD check pending); Business, Standard, Plus, Frontline and pay-as-you-go editions

    We could not confirm a US price yet. Check the Gemini Enterprise pricing page.

    Gemini Enterprise is Google's answer to Glean and the successor to Google Agentspace. Google's edition comparison shows permission-aware enterprise search and grounding on both Google and third-party data sources in every edition, so it is more than a Workspace add-on. The Business edition covers 1 to 500 users, while Standard and Plus add access to the full data connector ecosystem and more pooled storage, from 25 GiB per user on Business to 75 GiB on Plus. A Frontline edition serves shift workers once a company has 150 or more Standard or Plus users, and a pay-as-you-go edition bills through Cloud credits. Google lets buyers try the Plus edition free for 30 days without talking to sales. The catch for us was price transparency: the pages we could load did not show per-seat USD prices, and choosing among five editions takes some reading before you buy.

    Strengths

    • +Business edition sold for teams from 1 to 500 users
    • +Plus edition can be tried at no cost for 30 days without sales
    • +Five editions let companies match cost to user type, including frontline staff

    Drawbacks

    • −Per-seat prices were not shown in USD on the pages we could load
    • −The full data connector ecosystem is not part of the Business edition
    • −Edition rules and pay-as-you-go credits add complexity

    Free plan; Pro $20 per user per month; Enterprise through sales

    Quoted from the GoSearch pricing page on November 12, 2026: Pro $20 user/month

    GoSearch is the easiest product here to try without a sales call. The free plan covers personal data with basic private connectors, 10 searches and 3 GoAI queries per day, a browser extension and Slack and Teams integrations. Pro, at $20 per user per month, opens all private connectors, unlimited searches and GoAI conversations, unlimited private agents, workflows and tasks, and file uploads up to 80 MB each. GoSearch says it offers more than 100 connectors, naming Google Drive, Confluence, Notion, Jira, Coda and HubSpot, and that setup takes minutes once a workspace exists. Enterprise adds shared connectors, GoSearch API, SSO, SAML and SCIM, audit logs, file verification and the option to bring your own LLM keys or cloud on AWS, Google Cloud or Azure. The company is SOC 2 Type II certified and hosted on AWS. The trade-offs are that admin controls sit behind sales pricing and its connector list is smaller than Glean's.

    Strengths

    • +Permanent free plan with 10 searches and 3 GoAI queries per day
    • +Pro unlocks all private connectors and unlimited searches at $20 per user
    • +SOC 2 Type II certified and hosted on AWS

    Drawbacks

    • −Free plan is limited to personal data and basic connectors
    • −SSO, SAML, SCIM and audit logs need the Enterprise plan
    • −Enterprise trials are offered case by case

    Free plan; Essentials $3 per user per month plus a $250 infrastructure fee per account; Plus $20 annually

    Quoted from the Amazon Quick pricing page on November 12, 2026: $3 /user/month +$250 infrastructure fee per account

    Amazon Quick gives AWS customers a low-cost way to put an AI assistant with company context in front of every employee. The Essentials plan costs $3 per user per month plus a $250 infrastructure fee per account, has no seat cap, and includes chat, research, Flows, apps and access to Quick Sight dashboards. Each Essentials user gets 1 agent hour per month, with AWS listing a temporary increase to 3 hours until January 31, 2027. Professional, at $20 per user plus the same account fee, raises that to 8 agent hours and 25 GB of pooled storage per user. Teams up to 300 can skip the AWS account path and buy Plus at $20 per user per month billed annually, and there is a free plan for individuals. Quick connects to tools such as Slack, email and QuickBooks. The trade-offs are metered agent hours, the fixed account fee that hurts very small teams, and a setup that assumes AWS familiarity.

    Strengths

    • +Lowest per-user entry price here at $3 on Essentials
    • +Free plan for individuals on desktop
    • +Plus plan for teams up to 300 at $20 per user per month billed annually

    Drawbacks

    • −Organization plans add a $250 infrastructure fee per account
    • −Usage is metered in agent hours, which needs monitoring
    • −Organization plans require signing up with an AWS account

    Price

    Business $20 per user per month billed annually; Enterprise through sales

    Quoted from the Onyx pricing page on November 12, 2026: $20 per user / month Annual Billing

    Onyx suits teams that want a Glean-style search and chat layer with more control over models and hosting. The Business plan costs $20 per user per month on annual billing for teams of any size and includes a chat and search UI, access to all major LLMs, custom agents, actions over MCP or OpenAPI, more than 40 app connectors, web search, deep research, a code interpreter, a Slack integration and developer APIs. Permission inheritance and RBAC are included on Business. Enterprise adds OIDC and SAML SSO, on-premise and region-specific deployments, white-labeling, custom integrations and an enterprise SLA. Onyx says more than 1,000 teams use it and it handles over 1 million queries per week. The main caution is corporate: Onyx has announced it is joining Zoom, so buyers should ask how plans and product direction will change. Its connector catalog is also smaller than the leaders here.

    Strengths

    • +Business plan is self-serve at $20 per user per month for teams of any size
    • +Enterprise supports on-premise deployment and white-labeling
    • +Reports 1,000+ teams and more than 1 million queries per week

    Drawbacks

    • −Onyx has announced it is joining Zoom, so the roadmap may change
    • −OIDC and SAML SSO require the Enterprise plan
    • −40+ connectors is a smaller catalog than Glean or GoSearch

    Moveworks

    We could not confirm a US price yet. Check the Moveworks pricing page.

    Moveworks approaches enterprise search from the employee support side. Its Enterprise Search product offers more than 50 built-in content integrations and combines indexed search with live API search, which Moveworks calls hybrid retrieval, so results can be both fast and current. Permissions are enforced at the user and resource level and adapt as roles change, and answers come as summaries with inline citations. Multilingual search, granular filters and grouped results help employees scan sources, and companion apps put search in the web, chat, intranets and service portals. Because the same platform includes an AI Assistant, a Reasoning Engine and Tool Studio for agents, employees can search and then act, for example on IT or HR requests. ServiceNow has acquired Moveworks, which makes it a strong candidate for ServiceNow customers. The downsides are no public pricing and a smaller connector count than Glean or GoSearch.

    Strengths

    • +Hybrid retrieval mixes indexed search with live API queries for fresh results
    • +Tight fit with ServiceNow, which has acquired Moveworks
    • +Pairs search with task automation through its AI Assistant and Tool Studio

    Drawbacks

    • −No public pricing
    • −50+ content integrations is fewer than search-first rivals
    • −Best value comes when IT and HR workflows are in scope, not search alone

    See vendor pricing (USD check pending); Guru sells tailored packages through sales

    We could not confirm a US price yet. Check the Guru pricing page.

    Guru takes a different route from search-first tools: it builds a governed knowledge layer and then answers from it. Knowledge Agents return cited, permission-aware answers, and verification workflows plus automated maintenance aim to keep content current, with corrections flowing to every place the knowledge is used. Guru connects to more than 100 tools, naming Slack, Microsoft Teams, Salesforce, Zendesk, Confluence and SharePoint, and delivers knowledge to other AI assistants through MCP. On governance it lists SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA and GxP, SSO, SCIM, role-based access, DLP masking, encryption and centralized audit logs, and says customer data never trains its models. Pricing has moved to tailored packages that include a team of solution engineers for knowledge design and rollout, so there is no self-serve seat price. That makes Guru a better fit for support and operations teams that care about answer accuracy than for a quick company-wide search trial.

    Strengths

    • +Focus on keeping answers verified, not just retrieving documents
    • +Packages include solution engineers for knowledge architecture and rollout
    • +States that customer data never trains its AI models

    Drawbacks

    • −No published per-seat price; packages are scoped by sales
    • −Value depends on curating and verifying content
    • −Less suited to teams that only want raw search across every app

    We could not confirm a US price yet. Check the Coveo pricing page.

    Coveo is a search platform first, which makes it a good fit for enterprises that want to run employee search and customer-facing search on one stack. Its pricing page groups Service, Website and Workplace into one offering, with entitlement-based pricing for service and websites and seat-based plans for workplace search. The base platform includes a unified search index, native and universal connectors, document-level security and permissions, query suggestions, automatic relevance tuning, analytics and A/B testing. Generative and agentic features such as generative answering, conversational search, the Answer API and the Passage Retrieval API are sold as an add-on. Enhanced security options include a HIPAA cloud, bring-your-own-key encryption and 99.999% uptime with active-active resiliency in the US. The trade-offs are a sales-only price, AI answering that costs extra, and a toolset that expects a search or IT team to tune pipelines rather than an assistant employees use on day one.

    Strengths

    • +One platform covers workplace, customer support and website search
    • +Document-level security across indexed content
    • +Options for HIPAA cloud, bring-your-own-key and 99.999% uptime add-ons

    Drawbacks

    • −No public prices; Workplace plans are quoted by sales
    • −Generative answering is an add-on rather than included
    • −Built for search teams, so setup takes more expertise than assistant-style tools

What to check before you buy

Count the apps you need to search

Connector counts vary widely: Glean lists more than 275, GoSearch and Guru more than 100, Moveworks more than 50 and Onyx more than 40. List the systems your staff search every week and confirm each one is supported before you compare prices.

Check that answers respect permissions

An enterprise search tool must only show people what they can already open in the source app. Glean, Gemini Enterprise, Moveworks, Guru and Coveo all document permission-aware or document-level security. Test this with a restricted folder during a trial.

Start from the suite you already pay for

Atlassian includes Rovo with Jira and Confluence Standard and above, Microsoft sells Copilot as an add-on to Microsoft 365, and Google offers Gemini Enterprise editions for 1 to 500 users on Business. Use these first if most knowledge lives in one suite, then add a dedicated tool only if the gaps matter.

Read the usage meter, not just the seat price

Rovo includes 25 credits per user per month on Standard and charges $0.01 per extra credit. Amazon Quick Essentials includes 1 agent hour per user per month and adds a $250 fee per account. Microsoft bills select advanced Copilot features by usage. Estimate real usage before comparing headline prices.

Decide where the index should live

Onyx offers on-premise and region-specific deployments on Enterprise, and GoSearch Enterprise lets you bring your own cloud and LLM keys. If data residency or model control is a hard requirement, shortlist these before cloud-only options.
