ChatGPT wins, 8.8 to 8.0
Grok includes SOC 2 on every plan, even Free; ChatGPT reserves SOC 2 for Business and Enterprise only. Grok's cheapest paid plan is $10 a month with full access already included, core chat, images and Grok Build are already free, and the paid tier mainly raises usage limits and adds video generation. ChatGPT's $8 a month Go plan is cheaper, though it mainly raises usage limits rather than unlocking its top models. Both give teams a shared workspace and hold GDPR compliance.
