The trade-off

Security, secret leakage, model churn. Use a small, representative task before committing your team or moving important data.

Data and administration

Privacy Mode prevents training; inference still sends code to service.

Teams SSO privacy mode usage analytics.

Understand the bill

Subscription + model/usage billing. Current prices, limits, regions and billing terms need to be checked at the official source.

Price notes from the September 2026 research

Hobby free; Individual 20/month; Teams 40/user/month

Try it with a review step

  1. Choose a real task and record your current time and error rate.
  2. Use a non-sensitive sample and give the product only the access it needs.
  3. Check the result against your source, including review and rework time.
  4. Try exporting your work before you expand the rollout.
