Fig vs. Glean
Glean built the category: a permission-aware knowledge graph over 275+ connectors, 40+ models, and an agent platform that Fortune 500 companies roll out wall-to-wall. Fig shares the thesis and changes the entry point — self-serve today, priced on usage instead of seats plus credits, and built for the companies that aren't buying a six-figure rollout.
Fig vs. Glean, in short
Glean and Fig both ground AI in company context and run on models from multiple labs. Glean is sold and priced for wall-to-wall enterprise rollouts — per-user seats plus pooled FlexCredits, 100–250-seat minimums reported, and roughly four to five weeks to first value. Fig is self-serve the same day, has no seats, bills usage from one shared pool, and delivers Enterprise Graph context inside the platform a single team can adopt without a procurement cycle.

No seats. Team members are free to add, and usage is billed from your team's shared credit pool — you only pay for what the team actually consumes, starting today.
See how usage pricing works →Unpublished and negotiated. Enterprise Flex has two meters: per-user Flex Seats, and pooled FlexCredits spent on premium models, agent runs, Deep Research, and slide or meeting-note generation. Third-party indexes estimate $45–50 per user/month before AI add-ons, premium support at about 12% of license, a median contract near $99K, and 100–250-seat minimums. Figures are from pricing aggregators, not Glean.
Glean is priced for wall-to-wall rollouts — most of its customers deploy company-wide. Fig is priced so a single team can start without a contract and grow from there.
Glean's Enterprise Flex has two meters: you buy Flex Seats per user, then draw down a pooled credit balance whenever someone uses a premium model, runs an agent, or kicks off Deep Research. Budgeting means forecasting both. Fig has one meter. There are no seats to count and no separate bucket for the good models — the team consumes usage from a shared pool, and that's the bill.
Glean's knowledge graph and Fig's Enterprise Graph start from the same conviction: the model needs to understand your people, teams, projects, and activity, not just your files. Glean delivers that through a company-wide rollout program. Fig delivers it inside a platform a team can adopt this afternoon, with access that follows the permissions of the systems it connects to, and grows outward from there.
Glean's own community guidance for a mid-sized company is four to five weeks from contract to first value, after a sales cycle that third parties say can include a paid proof of concept. That's reasonable for an enterprise platform; it's also a lot of runway before anyone gets an answer. Fig's first value is the first question a team asks in Slack.
Teams and mid-market companies that want enterprise context, governed agents, and multiple models they can start using today, priced on usage rather than seats plus credits, without a sales cycle or a rollout program.
Enterprises of 500+ people planning a company-wide rollout, who need the broadest connector catalog available, a full certification portfolio, and a customer-hosted deployment option, and who have budget for a six-figure annual contract.
For most companies, yes. Both provide AI grounded in company context, a model-agnostic stack, and governed agents. Glean is sold and priced for wall-to-wall enterprise rollouts with a broad connector catalog and full certifications. Fig is self-serve, priced on usage without seats, and built for teams and mid-market companies. If you need 275+ connectors and a customer-hosted tenant on day one, Glean is built for that.
Glean doesn't publish prices. Its Enterprise Flex model charges per-user Flex Seats plus pooled FlexCredits consumed by premium models, agent runs, and Deep Research; third-party indexes estimate $45–50 per user/month before add-ons and 100–250-seat minimums. Fig has no seats — team members are free to add, and usage is billed from a shared credit pool.
Yes. Glean offers 40+ models across OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and others with bring-your-own-key options and its own routing model. Fig routes each task across frontier models from multiple labs with per-team usage controls.
Fig's Enterprise Graph plays the same role: it maps the people, teams, projects, and activity behind your data so answers reflect how the business actually works, with access following source permissions. Glean's graph spans 275+ connectors and is delivered through an enterprise rollout; Fig's is available to a team on day one.
Fig. It's self-serve — a team creates a workspace, connects tools, and is working in Slack, desktop, mobile, or web the same day. Glean is sales-led; its own community guidance puts first value at roughly four to five weeks for a mid-sized company.
