Pros & Cons
GoSearch
Pros
- The Free plan and the $20 per user Pro plan let small teams start without talking to sales.
- More than 100 connectors, including MCP and custom ones, and search results respect existing app permissions.
- Agents and workflows can be built without code and run inside Slack and Teams.
- The vendor states SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, CCPA and HIPAA compliance, with zero data retention.
- G2 reviewers praise its fast, accurate search and quick setup.
Cons
- SSO/SAML, audit logs, the API and BYO cloud are only available on the custom-priced Enterprise plan.
- The Free plan's limit of 10 searches and 3 AI queries per day is too low for real evaluation by a whole team.
- There are few independent reviews: about 21 on G2 and very few on Capterra.
- Reviewers mention limited filters and customization, and occasional slowness or bugs.
- Analysts say its analytics and connector depth for niche systems trail Glean-class suites.
Runbear
Pros
- Agents can be mentioned by anyone in a Slack or Teams channel, so teammates do not need another app or a seat license.
- Per-user authorization means shared agents act only within each requester's own access to connected tools.
- Large connector catalog (2,000+ tools claimed) plus custom MCP servers and Claude, GPT or Gemini model choice.
- Event and schedule triggers let agents work without being asked, for example after meetings or on new emails.
- SOC 2 Type II, with HIPAA BAA and SCIM available at Enterprise.
Cons
- Credit caps limit heavy use, because deep-work tasks can consume 300 to 1,500 credits each.
- Prices rose in October 2026, from $79 to $99 for Team and from $319 to $399 for Business.
- SSO, audit logs, BYOK and the HubSpot and Zendesk channels require the $399 Business plan.
- Very few independent reviews: G2 has one review, and Product Hunt ratings are small-sample.
- Small team on pre-seed funding, which carries vendor risk.
