Hops vs Glean: three big differences

  • No seat fees, and fewer tools to pay for
    Hops has no seat fees, so every team can join without waiting for a license. Docs, slides, dashboards, tables and project tracking come built in, so you can cut seats in other tools.
    With Glean

    Glean licenses each user, per month, with no public price list. You get a quote after a demo.

  • Your whole project, in one place
    Your team and Hops plan, write and build in the same workspace, so the work stays in one version. What one person teaches Hops, everyone on the team can use.
    With Glean

    Glean drafts docs, decks and dashboards in its own canvas, then exports them to Google Docs, Word or PowerPoint. Edits made after export don't sync back.

  • Keep private data private, even in team threads
    Hops uses only what the person asking has been granted. If an answer draws on something others in the thread can't see, Hops holds it until the person who asked approves.
    With Glean

    Glean offers permission-aware search across your company's systems.

Hops isn’t another chatbot connected to your company. It’s a place to run your business. We started with hiring, and instead of fitting into an off-the-shelf applicant tracking system, we can build the workflow around how we actually work.

Hops is the Collaborative AI™ workspace that helps your whole team move faster. Your team and its AI agent work live in the same docs, slides and dashboards, and what one person teaches it, everyone can use. You only pay for the AI's work.

Glean is an enterprise search, assistant and agent platform that connects to your company's apps. It answers from what's in them and drafts content you can export back to them. Hops is a workspace where teammates work on the same docs, slides and dashboards together and bring Hops in to help, so what it finds turns into work your team edits in one place.

Not in the way Glean is. Hops reads your team's spaces and the tools you connect when it works on a task, but it isn't a search index for the whole company. If search across hundreds of systems is the main job, Glean is built for that.

Hops has no seat fees, so everyone can join. You pay in AI credits for the work Hops does. Glean doesn't publish prices. It licenses per user, per month, and you get a quote after a demo.

No. Hops uses your data only to complete the requests your teams make. It's never used to train models, for Hops or for any other customer. See the Hops Trust Center for retention details.

Keep Glean for search. Do the team's work in Hops.

Hops is the all-in-one team workspace with AI built in. Start free with your team and pay only when Hops does work.
