Agentspace vs Microsoft Copilot: 2026 Gemini rebrand¶

Google Agentspace, the company's enterprise-AI offering, was folded into Gemini Enterprise in early 2026. The conversational and agent-orchestration technology that was Agentspace now powers Gemini Enterprise's core functionality. A side-by-side of Gemini Enterprise and Microsoft 365 Copilot, the two horizontal productivity-AI platforms most enterprises are comparing.

Verdict¶

The two platforms now price and position almost identically ($21 to $30 per seat per month) and both pitch the same thing: an enterprise assistant that reads across your corporate data, invokes tools, and deploys into your existing collaboration surface. The choice is mostly determined by which productivity suite you already pay for. Google Gemini Enterprise is the cleaner bet if you are on Workspace or want Gemini 3 as the default model. Microsoft 365 Copilot is the cleaner bet if you are on M365 and want multi-model (GPT-5 and Anthropic now in the lineup). Neither is a cloud-neutral choice; both lock you into the publisher's cloud identity layer.

Scorecard¶

What actually happened with the rebrand¶

Google launched Agentspace on December 13, 2024 [3], the company's enterprise-AI answer to Microsoft Copilot. Ten months later it folded. At the October 9, 2025 Gemini Enterprise launch [2], Google folded Agentspace into Gemini Enterprise, positioning the combined offering as "the" Google enterprise AI platform rather than maintaining two. Google's own framing: "The conversational AI and agent creation and orchestration technology behind Agentspace is now powering the core functionalities of the Gemini Enterprise platform." [1]

Existing Agentspace customers keep their entitlements. New customers land on Gemini Enterprise: $21 per seat per month for Business, $30 per seat per month for Standard and Plus editions [2]. Both are Google Cloud products, priced separately from Google Workspace and Microsoft 365.

What each platform actually is in April 2026¶

Gemini Enterprise is Google's enterprise AI offering. Three things in one: conversational assistant, agent orchestration, connectors into corporate data [1]. The assistant runs on Gemini 3 by default. The platform ships with connectors into Workspace, Microsoft 365, Salesforce, SAP, and BigQuery, a deliberately cross-cloud connector story.

Microsoft 365 Copilot is the enterprise assistant. Copilot Studio is the low-code agent-authoring platform that extends it. The \(30-per-user-per-month headline <a href="#cite-4" class="cite-ref">[4]</a> is an add-on: it requires a qualifying E3 (\)36 rising to \(39 on July 1, 2026) or E5 (\)57 rising to $60) base licence. Copilot runs across GPT-5, Claude Sonnet 4, Claude Opus 4.1, and Azure OpenAI. Microsoft added Anthropic in September 2025 [5].

Pricing, side by side¶

Published list pricing, April 2026

On list, Gemini Enterprise Business is materially cheaper: $21 vs $30 [2]. In practice, enterprise buyers rarely pay list. Volume discounts. Bundles with Workspace or M365 commitments. Usage metering. All three move the effective number. The more interesting signal is that Google is willing to publish a $21 entry at all, a procurement lever Microsoft has not matched (especially once you factor in the required E3 or E5 base licence [4]).

Which fits which organization¶

Decision framework · based on public product documentation

What to watch through 2026¶

• Multi-model coverage on both sides. Microsoft added Anthropic and GPT-5 to the Copilot lineup in 2025. Google's multi-model story is still Gemini-first. If Google opens multi-model routing inside Gemini Enterprise, the comparison narrows.
• Connector-catalog parity. Microsoft's "1,400+ external connectors" figure is difficult to match; Google's connector story is sharper but narrower. Both are investing heavily; the gap will close.
• MCP rollout. Microsoft Copilot Studio reached MCP GA in May 2025; Google has announced MCP support for Gemini Enterprise and is rolling out through 2026. MCP-native vendors (including Jarvis [8]) are betting the interoperability layer (MCP was released by Anthropic November 25, 2024 [7]) meaningfully reduces lock-in; how much that plays out here is one of the more important 2026 questions.
• Procurement line-item simplicity. Gemini Enterprise's $21 list price is a procurement-friendly anchor. If Microsoft responds with an equivalent entry tier, a category-wide price reset is on the table.

FAQ¶

Q: How much does Google Gemini Enterprise cost per seat in 2026?

Two tiers, twenty-one and thirty. Gemini Business runs $21 per seat per month. Gemini Enterprise (Standard and Plus) is $30 per seat per month [2]. Both are Google Cloud products, priced separately from Workspace, and ship with the Agent Development Kit and connectors into Workspace, Microsoft 365, Salesforce, SAP, and BigQuery.

Q: How much does Microsoft 365 Copilot cost per user in 2026?

Thirty dollars per user per month for the Microsoft 365 Copilot add-on [4]. That sits on top of a qualifying base licence. The base goes up on July 1, 2026: E3 from $36 to $39, E5 from $57 to $60. All-in: $42.50 to $87 per user per month, depending on which base seat you already own.

Q: Is Google Agentspace the same product as Gemini Enterprise in 2026?

Yes, the same product with a new label. Agentspace was folded into Gemini Enterprise at the October 9, 2025 launch [2]. The agent-creation and orchestration technology that was Agentspace now powers Gemini Enterprise. Existing Agentspace customers keep their entitlements. New customers land on Gemini Enterprise. The original Agentspace launch: December 13, 2024 [3].

Q: Should I pick Gemini Enterprise or Microsoft 365 Copilot if I am on Google Workspace?

Gemini Enterprise. The assistant runs on Gemini 3 by default. Native integration with Docs, Sheets, Drive, Gmail, and Meet. And at $21 to $30 per seat, it prices below a full Microsoft 365 Copilot stack if you do not already pay for E5. Copilot reaches Workspace via connectors, but the integration tax and the duplicated governance surfaces are real.

Q: Should I pick Gemini Enterprise or Microsoft 365 Copilot if I am on M365?

Microsoft 365 Copilot. Three reasons. Native integration with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and SharePoint. Governance via Purview and Entra. And the multi-model lineup: GPT-5 as default, with Claude Sonnet 4 and Opus 4.1 added in September 2025 [5]. Copilot also ships with 1,400+ Power Platform connectors [6].

Q: Which platform has broader MCP support in 2026?

Microsoft, today. Copilot Studio reached MCP GA in May 2025, the deeper production rollout. Google has announced MCP support for Gemini Enterprise and is rolling it out through 2026. For MCP-first architecture bets (protocol released by Anthropic November 25, 2024 [7]), a cloud-neutral option like Jarvis [8] is worth evaluating. Gemini Enterprise and Microsoft 365 Copilot both lock you into the publisher cloud.
