Glean alternative, side by side
Glean is the dominant enterprise-search vendor with a recently layered AI-agent claim. Per-seat + AI add-on + FlexCredits for premium = three meters running simultaneously, with a 100-seat minimum that translates to ~$60K ACV floor. FidelicAI's ZADO-01 is flat monthly with citation-on-every-answer hard-coded.

Where Glean falls short
- Three meters running simultaneously: per-seat, AI add-on, FlexCredits
- 100-seat minimum (~$60K ACV floor) gates SMB
- AI agent claim is recent layering on a search product
- Citation as a hard-coded gate is not the published default
Who FidelicAI suits
Heads of operations at 100–1,000-person companies who want internal Q&A grounded in their docs without the per-seat + AI add-on + credits structure.
