The full answer
The dominant pricing model in 2026 is a $20 per user per month subscription (ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, Gemini Advanced). A solo user on one flagship tool spends about the same as a streaming service. A small team of five typically lands around $100–$150 per month for user seats plus one shared tool. Heavy API usage is billed per token and, for most business tasks, still costs cents. SynaBot's own pricing bundles assistants, prompts and tools under a single subscription instead of paying per vendor.
