How Liminal
compares.

Most enterprise AI options tie you to one provider or one ecosystem. Liminal gives regulated organizations every leading model, with sensitive data protected and every interaction governed.

See Liminal

The right enterprise AI platform depends on three things: how many model providers your teams need, how sensitive your data is, and how much oversight your regulators expect.

How many model providers do your teams need?

One provider can work for a single team on a single use case. Most organizations end up needing several, because each model is best at different work.

How sensitive is your data?

Public and general internal content can go to most tools. PHI, PII, PCI, and IP need protection before any prompt reaches a model.

How much oversight do your regulators expect?

Vendor attestations may be enough for light oversight. Audits need prompt logs, alerts, and exports your team controls.

When the answers are several, regulated, and audit-ready, Liminal is built for that.

Four ways enterprises adopt AI

Single-provider subscriptions

Examples: ChatGPT Enterprise, Claude Team

Each gives you one company's models in that company's workspace.

access

One provider's models per subscription. Add a provider, add a subscription. Assistants only run on its models.

data protection

By attestation. Prompts reach the model as written.

observability

Limited. Where logs exist, reading them takes a separate compliance product.

best for

Teams standardized on one provider, with light sensitive-data needs.

Productivity suite copilots

Example: Microsoft 365 Copilot

AI built into the apps your teams already use, with models chosen by the suite provider.

access

Models chosen by the suite provider, priced on top of the suite license. Agents only run on its models.

data protection

By attestation, within the suite's permissions. Blocking sensitive data takes an added compliance license.

observability

Seeing what was sent takes a separate compliance product.

best for

Organizations that work mostly inside one productivity suite.

AI gateways and workspaces

Examples: nexos.ai, Expedient

Access to many models through one platform.

access

Many models, usually metered by the token, so cost rises with use.

data protection

Varies by product. Check whether sensitive data is protected before it reaches the model.

observability

Usage and cost. Seeing what was sent usually takes a separate product.

best for

Teams that want many models and can manage usage-based cost.

Secure AI enablement platform

Examples: Liminal

Every leading model in one governed workspace, on a single-tenant service for every customer.

access

Unlimited use of OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Perplexity, and xAI models, plus your own, at one per-user price. No token metering. Assistants work across every model.

data protection

By architecture. PHI, PII, PCI, IP, and your own terms are protected in prompts, documents, audio, and text in images before any model sees them.

observability

Built in. Every prompt logged, alerts on sensitive data, and secure exports to your SIEM.

best for

Regulated organizations that need every leading model, with sensitive data protected.

What should regulated organizations look for in an enterprise AI platform?

Regulated organizations should look for a platform that gives teams the leading models while keeping sensitive data protected, access controlled, and every interaction on record.

  • Model choice

    Access to several leading providers, so your strategy doesn't depend on one company's roadmap.

  • Protection before the prompt

    Sensitive data protected before it reaches any model, not only commitments about how it's handled afterward.

  • Where your data lives

    Clear answers on data residency, and whether you share infrastructure with other customers.

  • Compliance fit

    The certifications and agreements your regulators expect, such as SOC 2 Type 2 and business associate agreements for health data.

  • Oversight

    A complete audit trail, identity integration, and logs you can export to your own systems.

  • Adoption and cost

    A workspace people want to use, priced so you can roll it out across the organization, not just to a pilot group.

Liminal is built around all six.

Questions from
technology leaders.

What is a multi-model AI platform?

A multi-model AI platform gives an organization access to models from several AI providers in one place, so teams can choose the best model for each task. Liminal is a multi-model platform built for regulated industries, with sensitive data protected before any prompt reaches a model. For a deeper look, see multi-model vs single-model AI.

Why choose a multi-model platform over a single-provider subscription?

The best model for a task changes every few months. A multi-model platform lets your organization use whichever model leads, under one set of policies, without switching vendors.

What are the alternatives to ChatGPT Enterprise?

Alternatives to ChatGPT Enterprise include other single-provider subscriptions such as Claude Team, productivity suite copilots such as Microsoft 365 Copilot, AI gateways, and secure AI enablement platforms such as Liminal, which includes OpenAI's models alongside Anthropic, Google, and others. See how Liminal compares to ChatGPT Enterprise.

Can we use models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google in one platform?

Yes. Liminal includes unlimited use of the latest models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Perplexity, and xAI in one governed workspace, with the same policies applied to every model. See how the Liminal platform works.

What is the difference between an AI gateway and an AI workspace?

An AI gateway routes requests from applications to many models, mainly for developers. An AI workspace is where employees use AI directly. Liminal is a workspace for every team, with governance built in.

How is a secure AI enablement platform different from an AI governance tool?

An AI governance tool oversees AI that people use elsewhere. A secure AI enablement platform such as Liminal provides the AI itself, with governance built in, so access, protection, and oversight live in one place. Our enterprise AI governance guide covers this in depth.

How do enterprise AI platforms price?

Most charge per seat, some add usage fees, and productivity suite copilots typically require the suite license as well. Liminal costs 40 to 60% less than per-seat AI subscriptions such as ChatGPT Enterprise, Claude Team, or Microsoft Copilot, with unlimited use of every leading model included.

Is it safe to use AI models with sensitive data?

It depends on what happens before data reaches the model. Liminal detects PHI, PII, PCI, and intellectual property in every prompt and protects it before anything reaches a model, according to the policies you set. See how Liminal protects sensitive data.
