Compare us with the competition
Data verified April 2026. If you find anything outdated, email us at hello@rags.cc.
rags.cc was born to fill a very specific gap in the enterprise RAG market: no competitor simultaneously offers deployment in the customer's AWS VPC, verifiable multi-tenant isolation with RLS, flat pricing without brutal minimums, and real verticalization. This table compares the criteria that matter to an enterprise buyer.

Our real advantages
Only provider meeting all 10 criteria
None of the 9 main competitors simultaneously meets AWS-native + verifiable multi-tenant + flat pricing + BYO-LLM + verticalization. rags.cc was designed from day one for these 10 points.
Your AWS, your KMS, your audit
Glean, Vectara, Mendable, Writer, Dust, and Harvey run in THEIR cloud, not yours. ChatGPT Enterprise and Microsoft Copilot either. Only Bedrock Knowledge Bases runs in AWS, but it's DIY: you build the UI, RBAC, audit, billing. rags.cc delivers all of that built on top of Bedrock.
Flat pricing, no abusive minimums
Glean requires 100 seats minimum and $50-60k/year entry. Vectara requires $100k/year minimum. Dust requires 100 users minimum in Enterprise. ChatGPT Enterprise requires 150 seats. rags.cc starts at USD $99/mo with 1 workspace, no minimums. Mid-sized companies don't need to justify 100 seats to get started.
Multi-tenant verifiable with automated tests
Any vendor can say 'we are multi-tenant'. We verify it with Row-Level Security in PostgreSQL plus automated tests in CI that block the merge if they detect a cross-tenant leak. This is real defense in depth, auditable by your security team.
LLM replaceability (BYO-LLM)
If your customer requires Claude via your own Anthropic account, you plug in credentials and rags.cc routes to your account. If a better model than Claude comes tomorrow, you change the adapter in one line. Zero vendor lock-in. No competitor in the table offers this.
Deep verticalization, not horizontal
Glean, Vectara, Mendable, Writer, Dust, and ChatGPT are horizontal: they treat your operations manual the same as a CFO email. rags.cc verticalizes: we start with fitness/training, then boutique legal, healthcare, and education. Metadata, guardrails, and prompts understand your vertical.
Forensic traceability 6+ months later
Every answer has a complete fingerprint: user, tenant, workspace, retrieved chunks, model used, tokens, USD cost, latency. The audit log is append-only at the PostgreSQL level — not even a superadmin can modify it. Your compliance team can reconstruct any decision months later.
