Honest comparison

Sanaf AI Solutions vs ChatGPT

The short answer: ChatGPT is a general assistant that any one person on your team can use for almost anything, and its business plans now add connectors to your apps, an agent mode that can carry out multi-step work, and workspace agents that can run in Slack. Sanaf is an AI employee: it holds a written job description, works on a schedule whether or not anyone asks, keeps its own scoped logins, and waits for a person before anything consequential. If you want the most capable assistant for the people on your team, pay for ChatGPT seats. If you want a job done every day without a person driving it, choose Sanaf. Many businesses run both.

At work

An illustration of how the conversation reads, not a transcript from a client account.

ChatGPT needs no introduction. Its business plans give every user a private, capable assistant with memory of their own work, connectors into the calendar, the inbox, the documents and the CRM, and an agent mode that can take a task through several steps. Workspace agents, still a preview at the time of writing, let an admin build repeatable agents that colleagues can use in ChatGPT or in Slack. Business plans do not train on your data by default and come with the enterprise controls a larger company expects.

The difference is not intelligence. It is employment. ChatGPT acts when a person opens it and acts as that person. Sanaf is hired into a job, runs the job on Monday morning without being mentioned, works inside the apps under its own scoped sign-ins, drafts before it sends until you promote it, and writes everything it did in a log your team reads in a thread. One is the best tool your people have. The other is a colleague they hand work to.

Choose ChatGPT if

  • You want the most capable general assistant for each person on the team, for writing, analysis, research and code.
  • The work is driven by a person in the moment, and that person should see every step.
  • You already pay for business seats and want connectors and agents inside the tool your team knows.
  • You need enterprise controls, admin policies and a vendor with a full compliance program today.

Choose Sanaf AI Solutions if

  • You want a job done every day whether or not someone remembers to ask.
  • You want the employee to hold its own scoped logins rather than act as a person.
  • You want rules per kind of action and a shadow period before it sends anything.
  • You want one work log the whole team can read, and to pay for the work rather than a seat per person.
Questions

Frequently asked

Does Sanaf replace ChatGPT?
No, and it is not trying to. ChatGPT is a tool your people use; Sanaf is a colleague they hand a job to. Most businesses that run Sanaf keep their ChatGPT seats for the people who use them daily.
Can ChatGPT do the work on its own?
Increasingly, yes, while a person drives it: agent mode carries a task through several steps, and workspace agents on business plans can run in Slack. What it does not have is a job: a written description, rules per kind of action, a shadow period, its own scoped sign-ins, and a schedule it works without being asked. That is what Sanaf adds.
Which models does Sanaf use?
Named providers through one gateway, including OpenAI models. Your data is never used to train any of them, and the security page names every provider and what reaches it.
How does pricing differ?
ChatGPT charges per person: a free tier, individual subscriptions, and per-seat business plans. Sanaf starts free with $120 of credit and no card, then credits from $20 that never expire, for the work it does, however many people talk to it.
