Rival facts from each vendor's public pricing and feature pages, November 2026, prices billed yearly. Not listed means the vendor's pages do not say. Prices change, so check theirs before you decide.

## Why per-seat pricing hurts

With per-seat pricing, the bill grows every time someone joins. Teams end up sharing one login, or leaving the people who send documents most out of the tool. Neither helps you see who read what.

ArtifactSend earns only when its AI works for you, not when your team grows. Invite everyone who sends decks, proposals or reports, and the price stays $0.

## What a team pays in a year

| 10 people | $0 | $3,600 | 2,304 euros | $3,600 |
| 25 people | $0 | $9,000 | 5,724 euros | $9,000 |
