Glean vs osFoundry comes down to a best-in-class enterprise search product vs a broader orchestration platform. For an Indian company, pricing transparency and data residency add to the decision. Here’s the grounded view. (dgm implements osFoundry, a separate company’s platform — dgm is an independent integration partner, not osFoundry, and does not resell Glean.)
At a glance
| Glean | osFoundry | |
|---|---|---|
| Centre of gravity | Permission-aware enterprise search + agents | Model-neutral orchestration (search is one part) |
| Connectors | 100+ workplace tools | Connector library + BYO data |
| Pricing | Not public (est. ~$50/user/mo, ~100-seat min) | Usage-based, no per-seat fee |
| India residency | Not publicly documented | Self-host in your own India cloud account |
| Models | Model hub across cloud providers | BYO key across providers + open models |

Where Glean wins
Glean is a strong, focused product: permission-aware unified search across 100+ connected tools (Google Workspace, Slack, Jira, Salesforce and more), an AI assistant, and Glean Agents on top — all respecting each source’s access controls. For a large knowledge-worker organisation whose core pain is “we can’t find anything across our tools,” Glean is purpose-built for that.
Where osFoundry fits
osFoundry treats enterprise search and knowledge bases as one capability among many. It also covers multi-model routing, agents, internal data-backed apps, code and automations, with bring-your-own-key model access and self-hosting. So if your needs go beyond search — or you want provider neutrality and India self-hosting — osFoundry is the broader base. The trade-off: it’s a younger product with limited independent coverage, so test it against your needs (dgm’s role).
Pricing and residency — two practical gaps for India
Two things matter for Indian buyers:
- Pricing transparency. Glean doesn’t publish list pricing; third-party estimates suggest ~$50/user/ month with a ~100-seat minimum (unconfirmed) — a notable commitment. osFoundry is usage-based with no per-seat fee, so broad access doesn’t multiply cost.
- Data residency. Glean publishes no India residency detail (confirm directly). osFoundry has no managed India region but is self-hostable in your own India cloud account (see AI data residency in India).
How dgm helps
dgm implements osFoundry for Indian businesses — including enterprise search across your knowledge — with India residency via self-hosting and transparent pricing: $399 assessment, $3,999/month implementation, no per-seat fees (INR approximate; 18% GST for domestic clients). If your single need is best-in-class search and Glean’s commercial terms work for you, dgm will say so. Explore the platform at osFoundry, or talk to dgm about enterprise AI search done your way.
