Which enterprise tier fits your budget scale?

For a team of 100 users, Enterprise Pro costs $3,400 monthly or $40,800 annually. Moving to Enterprise Max for the same team size increases the annual commitment to $325,200. Organizations must evaluate if the functionality of the Max tier justifies an eightfold increase in spend over the Pro version.

How does billing impact the total cost?

All official rates, from the $17 individual plan to the $271 Enterprise Max seat, are predicated on annual billing. When budgeting for larger deployments, such as 250 users on the Enterprise Pro tier, the monthly expenditure totals $8,500.

Measuring the ROI of an AI search tool requires comparing the time saved on research against your team's baseline manual workflows. To determine if the $34 or $271 per-seat cost is a sound investment, teams should track the reduction in research hours for complex queries. NetLift helps finance leaders quantify this efficiency by mapping time savings to payroll costs, ensuring AI spend delivers a clear net return.
