For operations leaders · Consolidate the stack
$2,800 a month across five tools. Now one bill. Same team.
Grid replaces HubSpot, Asana, Notion, Slack, and Twilio with one platform — CRM, tasks, intranet, comms, AI. One bill, one login, one audit log.
The stack-consolidation maths
Five subscriptions, five logins, five audit logs. Or one of each.
A typical 60-person ops team pays for the stack on the right. Grid does the same job — CRM, tasks, docs, chat, comms — on one tenant, one bill, one access layer. AI is bundled, not an add-on.
- HubSpot Sales Pro$1,200/mo · 12 seats
- Asana Business$1,499/mo · 60 seats
- Notion Plus + AI$1,200/mo · 60 seats
- Slack Business+$840/mo · 60 seats
- Twilio (SMS + WhatsApp)~$320/mo metered
- Grid Studio (all-in)$149/mo · all 60 included
Consolidation that doesn’t break workflows.
Move one surface at a time. Email and calendar sync are bidirectional, so the legacy tool still works while you trial Grid. Cancel the contract once you’ve verified parity — usually one tool a month.

One bill. One login. One audit log.
The ops case for Grid isn’t prettier dashboards — it’s a smaller surface area. One vendor contract, one identity provider, one row-level access layer that decides who sees what across every record in every surface.
A flat operating bill replaces five line items.
- One Stripe customer per tenant — flat headcount-tiered pricing, AI bundled
- Single sign-on at the tenant boundary (Google, Microsoft, SAML on Studio+)
- Three-lens audit log — agent runs, tool calls, raw invocations — all queryable
- Tenant-scoped data export in standard formats: CSV, MBOX, JSON, S3 manifest
- Every read and write inherits the access function — UI, API, AI agent equally
AI that actually does the back-office work.
Drafting a renewal note. Updating a deal stage. Filing a recurring task. The COO use case isn’t a chatbot — it’s a junior who can execute against the data your team already controls. Grid agents call the same access layer as the human they act for.
Agents that write to your data — under your access controls.
- Tools call Payload create/update on CRM, tasks, comms, files
- Per-tenant agent budget cap (default $2.00 per run, configurable per agent)
- Every step traced — F900 tenant isolation enforced at the database boundary
- Approval gates: agents pause before send/delete on policy-flagged surfaces
- Bundle includes drafting, enrichment, briefing, and stale-deal triage
Compliance and tenant isolation, built in.
Procurement wants signed DPAs, sub-processor lists, audit progress, and a tenant-isolation story they can defend to the board. Grid ships with the artefacts most ops teams have to negotiate for.

Status mirrors the trust centre at /security — no ops-buyer numbers overstate the security-buyer numbers. Last reviewed Q1 2026.
Tenant boundaries enforced at the database, not the app.
- Every record carries a `tenant` foreign key — access function runs at DB layer
- AI agents inherit the requesting user’s scope (F900) — cannot escape it
- Signed DPA + sub-processor list + pen-test summary in the vendor pack
- Open-source dependency inventory published with every release
- Security-review-as-a-service included on Studio and above
Real numbers from real ops teams.
Defensible to the board. Auditable in the platform. No marketing-only math — every figure here maps to a checked invariant inside the product.
