An honest comparison
Switchy vs ChatGPT Team
Both give your team AI in one place. The difference is what happens to your team's memory — and whether it's locked to one model.
Where ChatGPT Team shines
ChatGPT Team is an excellent single-vendor experience. If your team is happy living inside OpenAI's models, it's polished, fast, and well-supported, with a shared workspace, admin console, and no-training-on-your-data guarantee. For an OpenAI-first team that doesn't need other models or to work inside Slack/Teams, it's a strong, simple choice.
How they compare
Memory portability
Switchy: Memory is the product — it travels across every model, Surface, and teammate, with visibility on each item.
ChatGPT Team: Memory and custom GPTs live inside ChatGPT; they don't travel to other models or apps.
Models
Switchy: 350+ models — Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, Llama — @mentioned in one thread, one pooled budget.
ChatGPT Team: OpenAI models only.
Where it lives
Switchy: Lives inside Slack, Teams, Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT — no new app to adopt.
ChatGPT Team: The ChatGPT app/site is the destination you go to.
Org vs personal scope
Switchy: Every Connection is explicitly org or personal, admin-managed.
ChatGPT Team: Workspace-level; less granular per-connection scoping.
Approvals
Switchy: Sensitive actions pause for a human — Approve / Decline — by design.
ChatGPT Team: Limited human-in-the-loop for tool/agent actions.
Pricing
Switchy: Free to add a Surface; pooled credits, no per-seat limits until Team.
ChatGPT Team: Per-seat subscription.
Lock-in
Switchy: Export memory any time; it was never trapped in one vendor.
ChatGPT Team: Switching vendors means leaving your memory behind.
