Onyx suits teams that want a Glean-style search and chat layer with more control over models and hosting. The Business plan costs $20 per user per month on annual billing for teams of any size and includes a chat and search UI, access to all major LLMs, custom agents, actions over MCP or OpenAPI, more than 40 app connectors, web search, deep research, a code interpreter, a Slack integration and developer APIs. Permission inheritance and RBAC are included on Business. Enterprise adds OIDC and SAML SSO, on-premise and region-specific deployments, white-labeling, custom integrations and an enterprise SLA. Onyx says more than 1,000 teams use it and it handles over 1 million queries per week. The main caution is corporate: Onyx has announced it is joining Zoom, so buyers should ask how plans and product direction will change. Its connector catalog is also smaller than the leaders here.
