Glean
Fact sourceWhen to pick it Choose Glean when search has to cover many internal systems while answers may only show what the asker was already allowed to see: the official homepage makes users only seeing what they’re allowed to see, and permission-aware answers, its premise.
When to skip it With only personal notes and no company directory or permission model, Glean is not the place to start, and its public page states only enterprise positioning and compliance items; to ask questions over a local note vault, the closer record is Obsidian Copilot; to search team meeting content, the closer record is Fireflies.ai. The public page states no amount, so ask the vendor directly before procurement. This is not a ranked review.
Exact price not verified. Any pricing-model label describes a billing category, not a verified amount.
Napkin AI
Fact sourceWhen to pick it Choose Napkin AI when a paragraph has to become an editable diagram and you need SVG export or the branding removed: the official pricing page lists SVG export and branding removal on Plus, while Free only gives PNG and PDF.
When to skip it For a full deck with layouts, templates and a brand library a single diagram is not enough, and the closer record is Beautiful.ai; to draw vectors by hand inside an existing design-file workflow, the closer record is Figma AI. Free also gets only 500 AI credits per week and every extra team member adds a seat, so size the credits first when volume is high. This is not a ranked review.
