| Pricing | USD $170/month (billed $2,040 annually) — Premium · free tier: Free plan (not a trial): knowledge base on a custom domain, search, versioning, unlimited viewers, 25,000 AI credits, no credit card, no expiry | Not published · free tier: Free-to-start path exists via cloud.onyx.app signup; open-source self-host build available at no stated price |
| Pricing model | Subscription with credit-based AI usage plus one-time credit packs | Freemium / Subscription (details unverified) |
| Best for | Budget-conscious documentation teams, multilingual product doc teams, and agencies or ERP/SaaS implementation partners with recorded training or legacy PDFs to convert — especially those who can exploit the free tier, one-time credit packs, or non-profit/academic pricing. | Engineering-resourced teams that want an AI knowledge interface over their existing tools, need to control their own LLM choice, and have a compliance or cost reason to self-host instead of buying Glean-class SaaS. |
| Avoid if | Your documentation workflow lives inside Jira, GitHub or Slack; you need formal approval, sign-off or document-locking for regulated/QMS use; you need a mobile app, SSO on a modest budget, or current high-volume peer evidence before signing. | You want an authored, structured wiki, have no DevOps capacity for a self-hosted deployment, or need published per-seat pricing and verified peer reviews before you commit. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
