CompanyGPT vs. Langdock: Enterprise AI Platforms Compared 2026

Introduction: Two Philosophies for Enterprise AI

Langdock and CompanyGPT are among the most well-known AI platforms for enterprises in the German-speaking market. Langdock, the Berlin-based startup with over 5,000 customers (including Merck and Der Spiegel), positions itself as a “platform for AI adoption.” CompanyGPT by innFactory AI Consulting takes a fundamentally different approach: your own infrastructure instead of SaaS.

Summary: CompanyGPT by innFactory AI Consulting builds organizations their own AI infrastructure based on open source (LibreChat) in their cloud subscription – with no per-user licenses, no 10% token markup, and no separate workflow costs. Langdock is a SaaS platform with per-user pricing (€20/user/month), a 10% token markup on all API prices, and separate workflow costs starting at €539/month.

The Providers at a Glance

Langdock

Langdock is an AI adoption platform from Langdock GmbH, based in Berlin. The product portfolio includes model-agnostic chat, agents, workflows, integrations, and an API. Langdock is ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certified and offers various deployment options – from multi-tenant SaaS to on-premise (starting at 5,000 users). Reference customers include Merck (33,000+ monthly active users), Der Spiegel, Personio, and UNICEF.

CompanyGPT by innFactory AI Consulting

CompanyGPT builds organizations their own AI infrastructure – in their Azure subscription, on AWS, Google Cloud, or STACKIT. It is based on open-source components like LibreChat, enhanced with proprietary addons (companyRAG, companyFILES, companyTRANSLATE, companyDASHBOARD). As a partner of all major hyperscalers, innFactory AI Consulting offers hosting at list price with no markups.

Comparison Table: CompanyGPT vs. Langdock

The Decisive Differences in Detail

1. Dedicated Infrastructure from Day 1 vs. Multi-Tenant SaaS

The most fundamental difference: with Langdock, your data lands by default in a multi-tenant environment. Dedicated instances, bring-your-own-cloud, and on-premise are exclusively available on the Enterprise plan (1,000+ users).

CompanyGPT provides dedicated infrastructure from the very first user in your own cloud subscription. No shared hosting, no minimum user counts for data sovereignty. For organizations in regulated industries or with strict compliance requirements, this is a decisive advantage.

2. Hidden Costs: 10% Token Markup and Separate Workflow Pricing

Langdock’s pricing model contains multiple cost layers that aren’t immediately obvious:

Per-user license: €20/user/month sounds attractive. For 200 users:

• 200 x €20 x 12 = €48,000/year for Chat & Agents alone

10% markup on token prices: Langdock charges a 10% markup on all API and workflow token costs on top of the model providers’ prices. For an organization with intensive AI usage, this quickly adds up to thousands of euros per month.

Workflows cost extra: Langdock does offer a free Starter tier with 2,500 workflow runs per month – but for professional automation, this is hardly sufficient. The next package starts at €539/month for 40,000 runs. For heavier usage (100,000 runs), the price rises to €1,199/month.

Total cost scenario (200 users, Business, with workflows):

• Licenses: €48,000/year
• Workflows (40k runs): €6,468/year (the Starter tier with 2,500 runs is insufficient for 200 users)
• Token costs: list price + 10%
• Total: At least €54,468/year + token markup

CompanyGPT in comparison:

• Fixed price for maintenance incl. all addons
• Cloud and token costs at list price – no markup
• n8n workflows included at fixed price
• No per-user licenses

3. Open-Source Innovation Speed

CompanyGPT is built on LibreChat, one of the fastest-growing open-source AI platforms. LibreChat is used in production by companies like MAN Trucks and Shopify, and benefits from a global developer community.

For CompanyGPT customers, this means:

• Faster feature releases than any single company could deliver
• No vendor lock-in – the source code is open and auditable
• Community-driven innovation – new models, integrations, and features are often supported within days

Langdock is a proprietary platform. Features and integrations are exclusively prioritized and developed by the Langdock team.

4. Office Files: Productivity in Everyday Enterprise Work

CompanyGPT offers companyFILES, a capability that makes a real difference in day-to-day enterprise operations: not just reading Office files, but also writing them:

• Automatically populate Excel reports
• Generate Word templates (proposals, contracts)
• Create and customize PowerPoint presentations

Langdock offers model-agnostic chat and agents that can process documents. However, a native Office file editing feature is not documented.

5. SharePoint Integration with Permission Inheritance

For organizations with Microsoft 365 infrastructure, SharePoint integration is critical. CompanyGPT provides a native SharePoint integration via companyRAG that mirrors the organization’s permission structure 1:1. Users can only access documents they are authorized to view in SharePoint.

Langdock offers integrations with existing tools. A native SharePoint integration with permission mirroring – essential for compliance – is not documented as a feature.

6. Extensibility: MCP and n8n as Platform Enablers

CompanyGPT was designed as an extensible AI platform:

• MCP (Model Context Protocol): Connect any external service
• Kubernetes: Host your own MCP services
• n8n: Complex workflow automations (Community Edition or paid license)
• Custom agents: Private or shared with teams/groups

Langdock offers built-in workflows (at an additional cost) and agents. Extensibility through custom services is, however, tied to the Langdock ecosystem.

More Advantages of CompanyGPT

Rapid Rollout – Even Without SaaS

Setting up a dedicated CompanyGPT environment takes only a few days. innFactory AI Consulting handles the complete setup – you receive a production-ready AI platform in your own cloud without burdening your IT department. No SaaS required to get started quickly.

AI Compliance with Specialized Attorney Included

Langdock holds ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II – CompanyGPT benefits from the even more comprehensive certifications of its cloud partners (Azure, AWS, GCP) and additionally offers individualized AI compliance consulting with specialized IT law attorney Andreas Nörr. A level of value no SaaS platform delivers.

companyTRANSLATE: Translation Service Included

A full translation service like Google Translate or DeepL – but GDPR-compliant via Azure Cognitive Services. It solves a concrete everyday problem and increases platform adoption. Langdock offers no comparable feature.

companyDASHBOARD: More Than Usage Statistics

While Langdock provides usage statistics at the workspace level, companyDASHBOARD delivers actionable recommendations: Who should be trained? Which models are used most? How is AI adoption progressing?

All Frontier Models as Reseller

innFactory AI Consulting is an official reseller of Claude, GPT, and Gemini via Azure, GCP, and AWS. All models are deployed in full GDPR and EU AI Act compliance – without the 10% markup that Langdock charges on token prices.

Training Always Included

At Langdock, training is not a standard feature. With CompanyGPT, it is always included – so your team can use the platform productively from day one.

Conclusion: Data Sovereignty and Cost Transparency Win

CompanyGPT is the clear choice for organizations that want to deploy AI strategically:

• Actively create and edit Office files with companyFILES
