Claude
Anthropic documents different model-improvement treatment for consumer Claude and commercial products, with feedback and safety exceptions preserved.

Microsoft 365 Copilot
The US enterprise page lists a yearly-paid per-user price and a separate qualifying Microsoft 365 license; enterprise data protection has its own service boundary.
Open local Passport candidatePerplexity AI
