Proper licensing, usage-based pricing
As legitimate for the whole company as an enterprise plan — but the bill tracks actual usage, not headcount.
| Criteria | StepX AI Chat | Per-member enterprise plans (ChatGPT Business, Copilot…) |
|---|---|---|
| How you're billed | By actual usage — use more pay more, use less pay less | A fixed fee per user, every month |
| Occasional users | Cost close to nothing when they don't use it | Full price for that member even in months they never log in |
| AI models | 20+ models from several vendors, picked per task | Mostly limited to the vendor's own model family |
| When a new model ships | Added continuously, available as soon as it lands | You wait for the vendor to fold it into the plan |
| Getting started | Credits included with your plan, top up when they run out | Usually a minimum member count and an annual commitment |
| Business governance | Proper licensing, org-level roles, usage reporting | Available, but tied to the members you paid for |
