- **Know who opened it** – On Team and Business, see who opened which doc, and when, before you follow up.

## Questions about Display and Glean

### How much do Glean and Display cost?

Glean's website shows no price, and its purchase button is “Get a demo”. Glean's pricing document describes a per-user, per-month seat and FlexCredits for usage. It gives no amount. Display Free costs $0. Solo costs $12 a month, Team costs $79 a month for up to 150 Editors and Contributors, and Business costs $265 a month. These prices are for monthly billing, without VAT. Viewers and Commenters are free on every plan.

### Is Display secure enough for company docs?

A new doc is private by default. People sign in with a one-time password before a private or company doc opens. Solo and higher plans add Google and Microsoft sign-in. Business keeps audit logs for 365 days. Enterprise adds SAML sign-in by contract. We do not use customer content to train AI models. Display lists no security certification today. Glean shows SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 badges. If your buyer requires those, choose Glean.

### Can clients and partners open what we share?

Yes. Invite them by email to a doc or a folder, and give them a role: Viewer, Commenter, Contributor or Editor. They sign in with a one-time password, Google or Microsoft. They do not join your organization. For its interactive HTML artifacts, Glean says that people outside your organization cannot open the links.

### Which agents work with Display?

Any agent that writes HTML or Markdown, for example Claude Code, Claude, ChatGPT, Codex and Cursor. Agents connect through the Display MCP server, the CLI or the API. Each person can use a different agent on the same doc. Glean also has an MCP server, and agents from other vendors can save artifacts to the Glean Library through it.

### Does Display search our other apps, as Glean does?

Display searches the docs and files that you keep in Display. You and your agents can search every doc you can open. Display does not search your other apps. Glean connects to more than 275 apps and applies each app's permissions to the results. If you need search across the apps your company already uses, Glean or another enterprise search product is the right choice.

### Does Display have an AI assistant that answers from company data?

Your own agent answers from the docs that you keep in Display. The agent, for example Cursor, Codex, Claude Code or ChatGPT, connects through the Display MCP server. It reads and searches your Display docs, and publishes new docs there. Display has no assistant of its own, and it does not run agents. If you need an assistant that answers from all your company data and cites its sources, Glean has one.

### How do people and agents work on a doc together?

Teammates comment on any line of the page. People with edit access select Edit and change the doc right on the page. Your agent reads the doc and its comments, publishes the next version at the same URL, and resolves the threads it answered. Each save or publish adds a new version. On Solo and higher plans, you can open and restore earlier versions.

### Is Display open source?

No. “Open” means three things. Any agent can publish to Display. Anyone you choose can open a doc without a seat. You can download the source file of any doc at any time.

## Give your agents and your team one place for shared context

Display works with Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, ChatGPT and any other agent that writes HTML or Markdown. The Free plan costs $0, and you can start today, without a demo call.
