Our take
Pick Jina AI if rAG and agent teams who will burn the 10 million free tokens on Reader or jina-embeddings-v4, then top up $50 for 1 billion tokens — not a team looking for a $20 chat seat. Pick Nomic if solo AEC reviewers who will stay on Individual ($20/mo) for drawing and submittal chats, and only buy Business when they need a 25-seat org, live integrations, and the Agent API.
