Why AI Subscriptions Aren't Enough
Individual subscriptions solve the access problem -- but not the security problem.

The Better Alternative
Frequently asked questions about individual AI subscriptions vs. a platform
Which limits do individual AI subscriptions have in a corporate context?+
Individual subscriptions are designed for end users. Typical limits: no central audit trail, no unified security policy, missing admin visibility across teams, no DLP or PII detection and no central model selection. IT and compliance have limited visibility.
What are the consequences of multiple parallel AI subscriptions?+
Common consequences: fragmented tool landscape, multiple invoices, inconsistent data protection standards, duplicate licence costs and lack of consolidated usage data. A central platform can reduce these effects — specific evaluation depends on the company.
What does a platform add compared to a single subscription?+
A platform like HOVIGuard bundles access, security filters, audit trail, role and access management, model selection and reporting in one solution. This typically makes tools, contracts and compliance requirements easier to administer.
Do individual AI subscriptions become entirely obsolete with a platform?+
Not necessarily. There can be use cases where an individual subscription still makes sense — e.g. for very specialised tools. A platform can substantially reduce the need for parallel subscriptions and simplify administration.
How does HOVIGuard combine multiple models in one platform?+
HOVIGuard bundles a curated catalogue of EU-hosted models behind a unified interface, combined with central audit trail, data protection filters and admin control. Users pick the use case, the system routes — configuration and model selection remain administrable.
