| Pricing | Not published · free tier: Free-to-start path exists via cloud.onyx.app signup; open-source self-host build available at no stated price | Not published (vendor pricing page price fields did not render; third-party figures conflict between $6 and $8/user/month) · free tier: Free plan: up to 50 items, up to 3 canvases, 2GB total storage, basic email support; Starter includes a 14-day trial with no credit card required |

| Best for | 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. | Teams of roughly 5-50 in software, IT services, games and startups that want a fast, clean internal wiki people will actually adopt, with graph/board navigation and optional public docs publishing. |
| Avoid if | 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. | You need SCIM provisioning, IdP group sync, attachment search, database-style tables, deep API automation, published enterprise pricing, or you have many read-only viewers and guests who would each be billed as users. |

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.
