Pros & Cons

open-webui

  • Genuinely free and open-source for typical use, with no license fee below the user threshold
  • Connects to any LLM backend, providing flexibility in model choice
  • Enterprise License adds real value (SSO, RBAC, audit logs) for organizations needing it
  • Crossing the 50-user branding threshold without an Enterprise License creates a real compliance issue
  • No official Cloud plan or per-token pricing — actual cost depends entirely on your own infrastructure and LLM backend choice
  • Enterprise License pricing requires direct contact rather than a published rate

Gemini

  • Deeply integrated across Google’s broader ecosystem (Search, Workspace, Android)
  • Ultra tier pricing was reduced from its original $250/month, improving accessibility
  • API pricing offers genuinely low-cost options (Flash-Lite at $0.10/million tokens) for cost-sensitive applications
  • Full Workspace integration requires at least Business Standard ($14/user/month), not available on cheaper Workspace tiers
  • Credit-based system layered on top of tier usage limits adds complexity to understanding real usage capacity
  • Ultra tier’s $99.99-$199.99/month range represents significant cost for maximum usage limits and Deep Think access
