Dynamiq vs Glean

DynamiqEnterprises in regulated industries that need chat, voice and workflow agents on one governed stack, deployed inside their own environment.

GleanEnterprises that want one AI assistant and search experience for every employee, grounded in a permission-aware index of company apps, with agents built on the same context, per Glean's positioning.

DynamiqDynamiq Cloud, or self-hosted on your AWS, Azure, GCP, IBM Cloud, Red Hat OpenShift or any Kubernetes 1.32+ cluster, or on-prem. Fully isolated or air-gapped setups are delivered with our engineers.

GleanGlean Hosted, a single-tenant SaaS in multiple GCP and AWS regions, or Customer Hosted (formerly Cloud-Prem), a tenant Glean deploys and operates as a managed service inside your own GCP project or AWS account, per its docs.

DynamiqYes. Self-hosted on your cloud or on-prem, or Dynamiq Cloud; both run the same engine.

GleanNo on-premises option is documented. Customer Hosted runs in your GCP or AWS account, but Glean calls it not a traditional self-hosted model: Glean handles upgrades, patching and monitoring, keeps support access, and does not support customers deploying or patching its services.

DynamiqFully isolated and air-gapped environments are delivered with our engineers.

GleanNot documented. In both models Glean keeps support access, and a Customer Hosted build on AWS pulls container images and control-plane bootstrap secrets from Glean's central AWS account, per its AWS deployment guide.

DynamiqThe Python SDK is open source under Apache-2.0 (github.com/dynamiq-ai/dynamiq), and the visual canvas runs on the same engine. The platform around it is not open source.

GleanClosed platform. Glean publishes API clients in Python, TypeScript, Java and Go, a Web SDK and an Indexing SDK for building on it, per its developer site.

Dynamiq29 model providers in the SDK, the most-used models behind one OpenAI-compatible AI Gateway endpoint, plus open models served on vLLM and LoRA fine-tuning.

GleanA Model Hub of 40+ open and proprietary models: OpenAI GPT models through Azure or OpenAI, Gemini through Vertex AI, Claude through Vertex AI, Amazon Bedrock or Anthropic, Amazon Nova, and open models such as Nemotron 3 Ultra. Glean's Universal Model Key adds auto routing (beta); with your own keys, Vertex AI is limited to GCP-based deployments and Amazon Bedrock to AWS, per its docs.

DynamiqChat, inbound voice and workflow agents on one engine. AI Coworker works with its own cloud sandbox computer, in the browser, Slack, Microsoft Teams and Telegram; Voice Agents answer inbound calls; Agent Builder runs workflow agents.

GleanGlean Assistant for chat, with real-time voice in the app, and Glean Agents: workflow agents with branching and loops, autonomous Auto Mode agents, sub-agents and triggers. Independent agents are in beta and the Glean Tau desktop workspace is coming soon, per its August 2026 launch. No phone-line voice agent product is described.

DynamiqKnowledge Bases built from uploads, websites and selected files and pages synced from Google Drive, Notion, Dropbox, OneDrive, SharePoint, Box and Confluence, re-synced in the background. Permission syncing on Google Drive and Confluence sources enforces source permissions at retrieval time; agents retrieve with hybrid search, metadata filters and optional knowledge graphs.

GleanIts core product: a hybrid search index and Enterprise Graph across connected apps, with source permissions inherited and enforced, content and permission changes synced in real time, results personalized by role, and people and expert search, per its search and connectors pages.

DynamiqAgent Builder pairs a visual canvas with the open-source Python SDK on one engine, with Choice and rules nodes, workflows generated from a prompt, and versions with rollback.

GleanA no-code Agent Builder, conversational or drag-and-drop, with Auto Mode, drafts, versioning and rollback; Search, Chat, Agents and Indexing APIs with clients in Python, TypeScript, Java and Go; a Web SDK; and a hosted MCP server that brings Glean search, chat and agents into ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, VS Code and other MCP hosts.

DynamiqGuardrails that detect PII and prompt injection, policy detection, validators and approvals with editable fields on any tool step, on every plan; SSO (OIDC with Okta and Microsoft Entra ID) on Enterprise.

GleanSSO is mandatory (OIDC or SAML), agents check source permissions on every read and write, write tools pause for confirmation in the web app, admins set agent sharing rules, Agent Access Policies are in beta, and audit events stream to a SIEM. AI security models for prompt injection, malicious code and harmful content come with Glean Protect+, licensed site-wide for an annual fee.

DynamiqEvals with datasets built from traces, LLM-as-a-judge, predefined and code metrics, and real-time evaluations on live deployments; traces with cost and latency per node, monitoring, and an AI agent that surfaces issues from production traces.

GleanDebug and trace views for every agent run, with inputs, tool calls, model decisions and outputs; insights into adoption, error rates, feedback and ROI for agents; and lifecycle guidance for testing agents against golden test sets before launch.

Dynamiq2,100+ app integrations and 11,800+ actions, plus MCP servers and per-user connections.

Glean275+ native and MCP-based connectors, per its connectors page, plus native read and write actions, custom actions from OpenAPI specs, an Indexing SDK for custom sources, and a growing library of MCP server templates.

DynamiqSOC 2 and CASA Tier 2, with a BAA for HIPAA workloads and a DPA under GDPR.

GleanSOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, HIPAA, GDPR and TX-RAMP Level 2, per its homepage; zero LLM data retention and encryption in transit and at rest are part of Glean Core Suite.

DynamiqForward-deployed engineers run a bootcamp in your environment, ship the first production agent with your team, then hand over.

GleanGlean describes its platform as deployable without the burden of heavy professional services; deployment and adoption help comes through the Glean Partner Network, launched in August 2026, whose partners hold more than 2,000 accreditations across sales, technical and delivery work.

DynamiqFree to start ($0), and Enterprise with custom pricing. Available on AWS Marketplace, Microsoft Azure Marketplace and IBM Marketplace.

GleanNo public price list. Per-user, per-month seats: Glean Core Suite adds model usage on an upfront commit at provider API rates plus a management fee, and Enterprise Flex adds a pooled allowance of FlexCredits for agents, APIs and premium models. Seats and credits cost less when you host Glean in your own cloud or bring your own model keys, per its docs.
