Provision ChatGPT
Create a workspace, invite your team, and configure SSO or auth to match your current setup.

What switchers say
Paraphrased from verified user reviews of teams that migrated away from Perplexity.
We switched after our team hit the pricing ceiling — the migration took a weekend and we haven't looked back.

— Product Manager, mid-market
Same features, roughly a third of the cost. The only thing we lost was one integration we barely used.
