What each one is for
They answer different questions. Nightfall asks "did sensitive data just leave?". Typort asks "how is the team using AI, and what is it costing?".
Nightfall AI is good at
- Checking every AI prompt before it is sent, and blocking credentials, personal and health data
- Redacting only the sensitive part of a prompt, not the whole prompt
- Coaching people in the moment, and sending them to the approved AI tool
- Tracing a file from download to upload, USB or personal cloud
- Covering AI coding tools such as Claude Code and Cursor, and the tools AI agents connect to
- Desktop apps as well as the browser, on macOS and Windows
Typort is good at
- Who is using AI, how much, and which tools, per person and over time
- Estimated spend per person, with allowances and warnings
- A pie of what the team spends its time with AI doing
- Flags for what went in, and client rules marked broke or close
- Searching the team's chats and meetings, and asking questions of them with Ask Typort
- Five plain switches for what the company sees, shown to everyone on their first screen
What Nightfall does with AI tools
From Nightfall's own website and help center.
Blocks and redacts. Nightfall says it "checks every AI prompt before it's sent and blocks credentials, PII, PHI, and IP on the spot", and that it "redacts just the problematic content, not the entire prompt".
Coaches and redirects. It can stop the action, redact the sensitive fields, or send the person to the approved tool, with a notice such as "Use ChatGPT Enterprise for corporate data."
Shows who tried to share what. Its shadow AI page says it shows "which users or groups are attempting to share what type of data with which AI app."
Agents and coding tools. Policies cover command line activity and tools like Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, and it finds the tools AI agents connect to in Claude Desktop, Cursor and VS Code.
What it needs
An agent and browser plugins on each device. Nightfall says to "Push agents and browser plugins via MDM", across macOS, Windows, Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge.
A quote. Nightfall's pricing page lists Foundation and Premier editions priced per user a year, and says to contact sales for a tailored quote. No dollar figure is shown.

| Client rules | Policies on kinds of sensitive data | Rules per client, with chats marked broke a client rule or close to one |
| Coding tools and agents | Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code and the tools agents connect to | Claude Code chats in the vault; not a coding tool monitor |
| What it needs | An endpoint agent and browser plugins, pushed by MDM | The Typort browser extension and a sign in with Microsoft or a work email. No API keys |

A walk through the team page: usage and estimated spend per person, what the work is, and the chats that broke or came close to a client rule.
What you get
The team page, flags and client rules, and the five switches.
The team page
Who is using AI this week, what the work is, people using AI each week, tool share by AI tool, and allowance warnings for anyone near or over.
Flags and client rules
What went in across the team: sales figures, strategy, client documents, passwords and keys. Each chat that broke a client rule, or came close, is listed with the person and the tool.
Five switches
Count usage and spend, AI analysis, keep the chats, let admins and team leaders read chats, keep voice typing. Every opening of a chat is recorded, and everyone sees the switches in plain words. Chats in the AI's own temporary or incognito mode are never collected.
Use them together
Nightfall stops the leak. Typort shows the pattern. Keep Nightfall to block and redact sensitive data before it reaches an AI tool. Add Typort to see who uses which AI tool, how much, what it is costing, and what the work is.
They run side by side. Both read the browser, so nobody changes how they work. Typort needs no change to your Nightfall policies.
The team view runs on Typort's servers. It is free for a limited time and will move to Typort Pro later.
FAQ
Is Typort a replacement for Nightfall AI?
No. Nightfall prevents data loss: it blocks, redacts and coaches before sensitive data reaches an AI tool. Typort shows how a team uses AI: usage and estimated spend per person, allowances, what the work is, flags and client rules.
Does Nightfall show AI spend per person?
Not on Nightfall's website. It shows which people try to share which kind of sensitive data with which AI app. Typort shows tokens and estimated spend per person and per tool.
Can Typort block a prompt?
No. Typort shows what went in after the fact, with flags and client rules marked broke or close. If you need a paste or a prompt stopped before it is sent, use a tool built to block.
Which AI tools does Typort see?
ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Grok in the browser, through the Typort browser extension. Microsoft 365 Copilot capture is built and comes in the next extension update. It reads what is on the page, so it works on Business and Team seats and needs no API keys from the AI vendors.
Are the dollar figures exact?
No, they are estimates from the tokens in each chat at the AI vendor's API list price. A chat page cannot show system prompts, hidden reasoning, attachments or tool calls, so the figures are a floor. They are there to compare people and tools, not to replace the invoice.
Can staff see what the company sees?
Yes. The five switches are shown to everyone in plain words on their first screen, and every time an admin or team leader opens someone's chat, it is recorded. Chats in the AI's own temporary or incognito mode are never collected.
What does the team view cost?
The team view runs on Typort's servers. It is free for a limited time and will move to Typort Pro later.
