Does free Onyx include single sign-on?

Yes. Community includes OIDC and SAML SSO. Paid plans add controls such as roles and permission inheritance. Skyller includes SSO from Corporate; workspace permissions also exist in other plans.

Did Skyller beat Onyx in EnterpriseRAG-Bench?

That comparison cannot be made: Onyx created the benchmark and excludes itself from the leaderboard to avoid conflicts of interest. The Answer Quality page presents Skyller’s public result, context and limitations. This does not establish a direct win over Onyx.

What differs beyond platform hosting?

Compare ready-to-use workflows: document review and publication, specialist Teams, assigned boards, assessments and schedules. Onyx offers agents and connected actions; a demo should show how your required capabilities fit together in each alternative.

Does every action need another person’s approval?

No. Actions configured for confirmation wait for the person who initiated the run. Documents have separate governance: a workspace may require single approval or review followed by approval, with recorded roles and decisions. These are different, configurable controls.

What happens when AI credits run out?

When the balance or AI quota runs out, Skyller conversations switch to economy mode. This does not make every feature unlimited: modes, usage, allowances, permissions and API access remain subject to the plan and configuration.

What is being compared

Onyx is published in three shapes, with very different economics. All three went in.

On their side: all three published shapes: Self-hosted Onyx Community and paid Business and Enterprise plans, including managed cloud. Community includes OIDC/SAML SSO; advanced access controls and permission inheritance are available in paid plans.
On our side: a contracted Skyller plan: What any company gets when it subscribes, with the numbers from the platform's commercial catalogue. Whenever something depends on a plan, an add-on or a project, the condition is written in the cell.
Workflow evaluated: Company knowledge, agents, execution and work management. App-specific features and custom projects are identified in the rows.
When this was checked: Official sources consulted on 6 and 7 September 2026. Each reading date appears in the source list. Confirm the offer and commercial terms before deciding.

This comparison evaluates platforms and workflows. Skyller uses models from providers such as OpenAI and Anthropic; available features depend on the plan, permissions and credits.

The question: Skyller / Onyx
Feature or criterion	Skyller	Onyx
Offer and purchasing
	Skyller One monthly fee for the company Up to the plan’s user limit	Onyx Conditional / limited Free Community; paid plans per user [1][6]
Who pays to use it? Skyller One monthly fee for the company. Each plan includes a number of users and a shared AI credit balance; the fee does not change when more people start using it, up to the plan's user limit. The price is published on the Plans page. Onyx Community can be self-hosted without a license fee; infrastructure and model providers still incur costs. Business has published per-user pricing and Enterprise has custom terms. Self-hosting a paid edition does not remove its license fee. Compare edition, deployment mode and contracted services. Onyx · Plans and pricing Onyx · Features and terms by plan
Knowledge and work
	Skyller Boards, owners, deadlines and checklists	Onyx Not confirmed Native equivalent not confirmed [1]
Does the answer become a task with an owner and a deadline, in the same place? Skyller Conversations create and move cards in the platform’s boards. Teams track owners, deadlines, priorities, subtasks and checklists, with configurable reminders and recurring cards, subject to access and allowances. Onyx The consulted sources do not describe native board with owners and deadlines equivalent to Skyller’s combination. The offer may use apps, integrations or additional configuration for this process; confirm the complete workflow in the edition under review. The official pages cited in this row were consulted; lack of mention does not prove a feature is absent. Onyx · Plans and pricing
	Skyller From document to assessment and results No certificate	Onyx Not confirmed Native equivalent not confirmed [1]
Does a published document become training with a grade and a deadline? Skyller Generate an editable assessment draft from documents, review it and publish it. Assign it to people or groups, set a deadline and passing score, and track attempts and results. Assessment quantities depend on the plan; no certificate or formal read acknowledgement is issued. Onyx The consulted sources do not describe native assigned assessments with deadlines and scores equivalent to Skyller’s combination. The offer may use apps, integrations or additional configuration for this process; confirm the complete workflow in the edition under review. The official pages cited in this row were consulted; lack of mention does not prove a feature is absent. Onyx · Plans and pricing
	Skyller 177 templates written in Portuguese	Onyx Not confirmed Native equivalent not confirmed [1]
Is there a library of ready-made policies and processes, in Portuguese? Skyller Yes. 177 templates for policies, processes, procedures and manuals written in Portuguese, organised by area — you pick one and it becomes your company's draft. Onyx The consulted sources do not describe native library of Portuguese policies and procedures equivalent to Skyller’s combination. The offer may use apps, integrations or additional configuration for this process; confirm the complete workflow in the edition under review. The official pages cited in this row were consulted; lack of mention does not prove a feature is absent. Onyx · Plans and pricing
	Skyller Conditional / limited Slack, Telegram and WhatsApp Additional credits · requires an API-enabled plan	Onyx Not confirmed Native equivalent not confirmed [1][2]
Can the team talk to the AI on WhatsApp or Telegram? Where most of a Brazilian operation already talks every day. Skyller Slack, Telegram and WhatsApp can become a conversation channel with a company agent, and approval for a sensitive action arrives in the same conversation. Two honest conditions: it is a credit-based add-on and the connection requires a plan that includes API access. Onyx The consulted sources do not describe native WhatsApp and Telegram channels equivalent to Skyller’s combination. The offer may use apps, integrations or additional configuration for this process; confirm the complete workflow in the edition under review. The official pages cited in this row were consulted; lack of mention does not prove a feature is absent. Onyx · Plans and pricing Onyx · Docs · Deployment overview
	Skyller Teams with a lead and specialist agents	Onyx Conditional / limited Agents with MCP and OpenAPI actions [5][1]
Can AI specialists work together? Skyller Depending on the selected mode, the lead routes to one specialist or coordinates several members and combines their output. A Team can consult all members or execute tasks; each agent uses its allowed model configuration, including different providers. Models and usage follow the plan’s modes and credits; access follows permissions. Onyx Onyx offers custom agents and actions through MCP or OpenAPI, enabling work in connected systems. Process and model configuration should be evaluated in the selected edition. Agents are documented; coordination of several specialists in one Team must be confirmed in the offer under review. Onyx · Actions through MCP and OpenAPI Onyx · Plans and pricing
	Skyller Draft, review and publication with history	Onyx Conditional / limited Permission-aware search; review at the source [6][5]
Who validates knowledge before the team relies on it? Skyller The company can configure single approval or review followed by approval, with recorded roles and decisions. Drafts, pending content and rejected documents stay out of production knowledge answers. Company workspaces define access to published material. Workspace policy defines stages and responsibilities; individual spaces may publish automatically. Onyx Onyx connects knowledge sources; paid plans include access controls and permission inheritance. The consulted sources do not describe an equivalent native editorial workflow for reviewing and publishing company documents. Evaluate the editorial process in the source repository or custom development. Onyx · Features and terms by plan Onyx · Actions through MCP and OpenAPI
	Skyller Scheduled agents and Teams, with run history	Onyx Not confirmed Agent scheduling needs confirmation [1][5]
Can a routine run again without repeating the request? Skyller Schedule agents and Teams for recurring routines or event-triggered runs. Set a time and timezone, track run history and receive notifications. Work runs on the server under the access context of the person who configured it. Runs use available permissions and credits. API access depends on plan; local connectors need Desktop and the connector running. Onyx The consulted sources confirm agents, actions and integration interfaces. They did not confirm native agent-team scheduling equivalent to the capability described here. An external solution may trigger runs through integration. Pricing and action documentation consulted; confirm edition and triggers with Onyx. Onyx · Plans and pricing Onyx · Actions through MCP and OpenAPI
Operations and control
	Skyller We operate it; nothing to install	Onyx Conditional / limited Either the company runs it, or pays their cloud [2][1]
Who keeps the platform running? The question that decides whether this arrives as a subscription or as an IT project. Skyller The company subscribes and uses it. There is no server to size, no vector store to maintain, no sync process to watch and no upgrade to schedule — that is ours. Onyx The documentation publishes two modes: a lightweight, chat-only one, and the full platform, recommended for serious teams, which includes vector and keyword indexes, background processes to sync the connectors and model inference servers for indexing and inference. Installation goes through Docker Compose, Kubernetes or Terraform, and there is a dedicated resourcing guide. Whoever wants none of that uses their managed cloud. Without an infrastructure team, the practical route is the cloud — and then billing goes back to per person. Onyx · Docs · Deployment overview Onyx · Plans and pricing
	Skyller Access set in the workspace, in every plan	Onyx Conditional / limited Community SSO; paid controls from Business [7][6][3][1]
Does role-based access control come with every plan? Who can see each document is the first question any legal team asks. Skyller Yes. Each workspace has its own access list, and each person's role applies on any plan — it is not a high-tier feature. Company single sign-on, that one does start at Corporate. Onyx The changelog records OIDC/SAML SSO in Community. Business and Enterprise include additional controls such as roles, groups and source permission inheritance. Single sign-on is not exclusive to Enterprise. Check the controls included in the selected edition. Onyx · Official changelog, including SSO Onyx · Features and terms by plan Onyx · Docs · Enterprise Edition Onyx · Plans and pricing
	Skyller Result published, with date and methodology	Onyx The leaderboard is theirs; they opt out [4]
Can answer quality be checked on a public leaderboard? Here the honest answer requires saying whose leaderboard it is. Skyller Yes, and the test is Onyx's own: half a million documents, 500 questions and grading by their program. Skyller submitted, the Onyx team checked the live product with questions we had never seen, and the result — position, score, date and the two weakest measures — is laid out in full on our Answer quality page. Onyx EnterpriseRAG-Bench is Onyx's work, and the official repository says why the company does not appear on it: it sells a product of the same kind and excludes itself to avoid a conflict of interest. That is the right call — and it means there is no score of theirs to compare with ours. Onyx · Official EnterpriseRAG-Bench repository
	Skyller Conditional / limited Enterprise, on customer infrastructure Enterprise · project and contract; models and services may process data externally	Onyx Self-hosting of the open edition [2]
Can the platform run on the company's own infrastructure? Skyller Under the Enterprise arrangement the platform can be deployed on customer-controlled infrastructure, in your own cloud or on-premise, subject to project and contract. Installing the application does not mean everything is processed there: models over API, connected services and channels may still process outside. There is no off-the-shelf on-premise plan. Onyx Onyx allows installation of the open edition on company infrastructure, with documented deployment options. Operational control benefits teams that want to adapt and manage the environment; external model services and connections depend on configuration. Onyx · Docs · Deployment overview

Where the difference shows up

How this combination changes daily work.

The value comes from connecting the steps your team handles every day. See what already works together in Skyller.

The complete workflow

Choosing search is one part of the operation

Onyx combines search, agents and MCP or OpenAPI actions, with self-hosted and managed options. Skyller adds configurable document lifecycles, native boards and assigned assessments to business workflows. When evaluating onboarding, test everything from looking up a procedure to the manager’s task and training results. The differences become visible across that complete sequence.

Test the whole path, from request to tracked delivery, in both alternatives.

The company’s choice

Freedom to operate, or an integrated workflow

Onyx Community includes SSO, and paid plans extend access controls. Your team can adapt and operate the open edition or use the cloud. Skyller’s subscription delivers the operated platform and connected work features, with workspace, agent and permission configuration. The choice depends on how much software control you need and how much of that product you want to maintain internally.

Choose based on what your team can execute, validate and maintain every day.

Trackable execution

Give the output an owner, deadline and next run

In the same platform, a conversation can create cards with an owner, deadline, priority and checklist. Documents can become editable assessments assigned to people or groups, with a passing score and result tracking. For recurring work, schedule agents or Teams and inspect run history. Every stage respects permissions, allowances and available connections.

The information you consult becomes assigned work, tracked learning and a repeatable routine.

An ordinary Tuesday

The announcement was about to go out to the whole team. It stopped first.

An example workflow configured in Skyller, using fictional data. Permissions, approval and features follow company and plan rules.

What comes in
Somebody in internal communications asks, in plain language, for Skyller to tell the sales team about the new travel policy, published in the workspace yesterday.
What happens
1. 01The agent prepares the message from the published policy and presents the send action parameters.
2. 02Because this function is configured for confirmation, execution pauses for the person who started the request to check the action.
3. 03After confirmation, the integration sends the message and the conversation retains the action record.
What is left
The configured send action happens after confirmation by the requester, with a conversation record.

What Skyller does not do here

The pause depends on the function configuration; there is no universal confirmation rule for every send action.
The person who initiated the run confirms it. This does not replace document review by designated roles.
Sending requires an authorized, available integration. Conversation channels cost additional credits and require plan API access.
