What AI models recommend in internal communications

Read the same way at every company size.

The standing depends on who is buying. Every model is asked the same questions for each company size.

“Best low-budget option for many small teams Google Workspace + a shared drive + Sites”GPT-5.4 mini · Budget-constrained question · first choice
“Best Overall Free/Low-Cost Option: Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 (with SharePoint)”Grok 4.20 · Budget-constrained question · first choice

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page google.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated.
