Microsoft Copilot
Google Workspace AI
Notion AI
Workplace AI has split into three distinct plays: a premium add-on for the Microsoft ecosystem, a mid-priced add-on inside Google Workspace, and a low-cost, workspace-native option from Notion. The right pick depends heavily on which base tools your team already lives in.

Which one wins for which use case
Teams standardized on Microsoft 365 and needing AI woven through Outlook/Excel/Teams will get the most value from Copilot despite the higher cost. Teams living in Gmail/Docs/Sheets get solid value from Gemini for Workspace at a lower price point. Documentation-heavy teams already using Notion as their knowledge base get the cheapest, most targeted AI lift from Notion AI.
