Glean is AI search and an assistant across a very long list of company apps, built and sold for large companies. If you are a 5–100 person team, these tools let you connect a few sources and start asking this week, and one of them drafts the follow-up for you to approve.

What are the best Glean alternatives? For self-serve AI answers across Slack, Drive, Notion, Jira and GitHub with source links, Enhanciar. If most questions are about code, Unblocked ($29/user/mo annual). For free self-hosting, Onyx. For a verified knowledge base, Guru; for a simple wiki, Tettra or Slite.

Glean is a strong product: AI search and an assistant across a very long list of company apps. It is also built and sold for large companies. Glean doesn’t publish prices; you talk to sales (source). If you are a 5–100 person team, you probably want to sign up, connect a few tools and start asking questions this week. These tools let you do that. We make one of them, Enhanciar, so weigh our view accordingly. For a direct head-to-head, see Enhanciar vs Glean.

The short version

  • Want Glean-style answers across your tools, self-serve, with the follow-up drafted for you to approve? Enhanciar.
  • Engineering team that mostly asks about code, PRs and tickets? Unblocked.
  • Want open source you can host yourself? Onyx.
  • Want a verified knowledge base your team maintains? Guru.
  • Want a simple wiki with AI answers? Tettra or Slite.
  • Everything already lives in Notion? Notion AI.
  • Big company, big budget, lots of apps? Glean is still a good pick.
When to stay with Glean
  • You are a large company, you need a very wide set of connectors, strict permission syncing across all of them, SSO and a dedicated account team.
  • Glean does that well, and most of the tools here, Enhanciar included, don’t match it yet.
  • No public price. You can’t tell what it costs without a sales process; at enterprise scale that is normal.
When Enhanciar fits
  • You want the core of what Glean does, answers across your tools with links to the source, without the enterprise process.
  • Connect Slack, email, Google Drive, Notion, Jira and GitHub; ask in plain English; open the link to check. It works for sales, support, new hires, founders and engineers.
  • Does the follow-up. The ticket, reply, doc or calendar event is drafted for a person to approve; pull-request review posts on its own once you turn it on for a repo.
  • You bring your own AI key, so you pay your AI provider directly with no markup, and AI tools can ask the same brain over MCP.

A dash means the vendor’s public pages we checked do not describe it; it is not a claim that the feature is missing.

Then hand it the follow-up

Search finds the page. A brain does the next step.

After the answer, say what you need. It drafts the work and waits in your Actions queue for a person to approve.

Glean vs Unblocked for enterprise search

They solve different problems. Glean is company-wide enterprise search and an assistant across 275+ apps, sold through sales with no public price (source). Unblocked is aimed at engineering: it answers from code, conversations, issues and docs, and is used in Slack (via an @Unblocked bot) and Microsoft Teams, on the web, in a Mac app, from the CLI and over MCP in tools like Cursor and Claude Code (source). Unblocked publishes its price: $29/user/month annual or $35 monthly, a 21-day free trial with no card, and an Enterprise plan with SSO and on-prem options (source).

  • Pick Glean if the whole company (HR, sales, legal, engineering) needs one search box across many apps and you have an enterprise budget.
  • Pick Unblocked if the people asking are mostly engineers and the answers live in GitHub, Jira, Confluence and Slack.
  • Pick Enhanciar if a small team wants both kinds of question (sales, support and code) answered from Slack, Drive, Notion, Jira and GitHub at $35 per person with your own AI key, and the follow-up drafted for a person to approve.

More detail: Unblocked alternatives and Enhanciar vs Glean.

Why small teams look beyond Glean

  • No public price. You can’t tell what it costs without a sales process.
  • Built for scale you may not have. Admin controls and a huge connector list matter at 5,000 people. At 30, you mostly need Slack, Drive, Notion and your ticket tracker.
  • Time to value. Small teams want to try it on a Friday afternoon, not after a procurement cycle.

Getting started with Enhanciar

  1. Sign up at enhanciar.in.
  2. Add an AI key from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google or a compatible provider.
  3. Connect the places your team already writes things down: Slack, email, Google Drive, Notion, Jira, GitHub.
  4. Ask the ten questions people asked most last month, in plain English. Every answer links to where it came from, so you can check it.
  5. Add the Slack bot (/invite @Enhanciar) so sales, support and new hires can ask where they already work, and connect AI tools over MCP.

What Enhanciar costs

It is $35 per person a month (cancel anytime), or $315 per person a year paid once, which works out to about $26 a month. You bring your own AI key (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google or a compatible provider) and pay that provider directly; Enhanciar adds $0 on tokens. Sign-up is open: start at enhanciar.in, pick a plan and connect your first source the same day. Any number of people can share one workspace, each on their own plan. There is no self-hosted version.
