The Decisive Differences in Detail

1. Own Infrastructure from Day 1 vs. SaaS

The most fundamental difference is the operating model. Langdock is operated primarily as SaaS (the provider names further deployment options). CompanyGPT provides dedicated infrastructure from the very first user in your own cloud subscription, with no minimum user counts. For organizations in regulated industries or with strict compliance requirements, this is a decisive advantage.

2. Cost Model: Per-User SaaS vs. Usage-Based

Classic SaaS license models typically bill per user – license costs then scale linearly with the user count. Langdock states its current conditions directly.

CompanyGPT takes a different approach:

No per-user licenses
Fixed price for maintenance incl. all addons
Cloud and token costs of the model providers
n8n workflows included at fixed price

Because the model is independent of the user count, the cost advantage shifts increasingly in favor of CompanyGPT as the employee count grows. For a robust comparison, we recommend calculating the total cost of ownership based on the respective current provider prices and your own usage intensity.

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:

Fast feature releases driven by the community
No vendor lock-in – the source code is open and auditable
Community-driven innovation – new models and integrations are often supported quickly

Langdock is a proprietary platform; features are developed by the Langdock team.

4. 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.

According to its own information, Langdock also offers a SharePoint connection. However, we were not able to compare the exact integration and recommend contacting the provider directly.

5. 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
Custom agents: Private or shared with teams/groups

Both platforms support MCP integrations; the provider states the details for Langdock.
