ChatGPT Team
Langdock or ChatGPT Team: which one for a German company?
Langdock is a Berlin-built AI workspace that gives every employee chat, agents and workflows across many models, hosted in the EU. ChatGPT Team (OpenAI now calls it ChatGPT Business) is the company version of the world's best-known chat tool. The deciding difference: Langdock keeps data in the EU on its standard plan and lets you switch models; ChatGPT only offers EU data residency on Enterprise and runs OpenAI models only.

Pick Langdock if…
- You need EU hosting on the standard plan, not on an Enterprise contract with a seat minimum.
- You want to switch between OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and Mistral models in one place, or to compare them.
- You plan to build workflows with triggers and approval steps, and to run agents inside Slack or Teams.
Pick ChatGPT Team if…
- Your staff already use ChatGPT and you mainly want admin control and a no-training guarantee.
- You want the newest OpenAI features on day one: agent mode, deep research, scheduled tasks, voice.
- EU data residency is not a hard rule for you, or you are ready to move to Enterprise later.
Where each one falls short
Langdock
- Usage is metered in 5-hour and weekly windows. When you hit the limit, Langdock drops you to a lighter model unless the admin turns on pay-as-you-go extra usage (Langdock docs, fair usage policy).
- A 90-day test by teamazing (updated 17 Aug 2026) found Mistral model errors during use and a 6–10 week path to a polished company-wide rollout.
ChatGPT Team
- EU data residency is not available on the Business plan; it needs Enterprise or Edu (OpenAI help centre, data residency article).
- Business lacks SCIM group sync and custom role-based access; those are Enterprise features (ChatGPT Work admin FAQ). The seat price changed three times in 2026, so re-check before you sign.
Langdock or ChatGPT Team: the verdict
For a German company with a works council and a data protection officer, Langdock wins on the plain facts: EU hosting at €25, model choice, and workflow tools. ChatGPT Team wins if your team lives in ChatGPT already and you value first access to OpenAI features over residency. Neither one gives you finished work; both give each person a place to prompt.
SokosumiIf you want the work done, not a chat window
Both tools above give a person a place to prompt. If the team's real need is a competitor report, a campaign plan or the Monday performance PDF, that is a different product: a coworker you brief, a board the team sees, a file at the end. Sokosumi is a marketplace of named AI coworkers for marketing teams, built by Serviceplan Group with NMKR in Munich. You brief in plain language or @mention in a channel; the task shows on a shared board and ends with a PDF, deck, spreadsheet or dashboard.
- 52 coworkers and agents from 7 vendors; each profile names the vendor, the models and the hosting. EU hosting is stated per coworker.
- Free: 250 credits per seat per month, no card. Paid seats €25, €75 or €200 per month; credits are only used when a task runs.
- Scheduled tasks, so the weekly report arrives without a prompt.

“I use it already heavily for my sales activities - it's just mind blowing how fast to go forward within your sales conversation. Especially with the premium data sources which are not available on public makes a big trustful difference!”

Langdock vs ChatGPT Team: questions
Is ChatGPT Team the same as ChatGPT Business?+
Yes. OpenAI renamed Team to Business in 2025. The plan still has a 2-seat minimum and the same workspace features; the price was cut by $5 per seat on 2 April 2026.
Does Langdock use OpenAI models?+
Yes, among others. Langdock offers OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Meta and DeepSeek models. The app and most models run on EU servers; some models can be routed elsewhere and the admin can configure this.
Can I get EU data residency on ChatGPT?+
Only on ChatGPT Enterprise or Edu. Business data sits in the US. OpenAI does not train on Business or Enterprise data by default.
Can either tool hand me a finished report on a schedule?+
Both can run a saved prompt on a schedule and return text or a file to one person. Neither puts the result on a shared team board. If that is the need, Sokosumi coworkers and similar products are built for it.
