Osmos alternative
Osmos Is Shutting Down. FileFeed Is Your Migration Path.
Microsoft acquired Osmos in January 2026 and all standalone products are being sunset. FileFeed has the same two-product architecture with deeper AI capabilities and a free embeddable importer.

Why teams migrate
Key differences
Same architecture, still running
FileFeed has the same two-product model Osmos had: embeddable importer for manual uploads plus automated pipelines for recurring SFTP feeds. The difference is that FileFeed is actively developed and growing, not being folded into an enterprise platform.
AI capabilities Osmos never shipped
Cross-client mapping memory, natural language transformations, an AI Assistant that sets up pipelines from conversation, and an MCP server with 38 tools for AI agent integration. These go well beyond what Osmos offered.
No per-record pricing
Osmos charged $0.0001 per record on every tier, including free. At scale, this added up. FileFeed's embeddable importer is free forever with no per-record charges.
No vendor lock-in risk
Osmos customers learned the hard way what happens when a platform gets acquired and shut down. FileFeed is focused on the B2B data onboarding use case with no plans to pivot into enterprise analytics.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What happened to Osmos?
Microsoft acquired Osmos in January 2026. All standalone Osmos products (Uploaders, Pipelines, Datasets, AI Data Wrangler) are being sunset. The Osmos team has joined Microsoft's Fabric engineering organization.
Is FileFeed a replacement for Osmos?
Yes. FileFeed has the same two-product architecture: an embeddable importer (replacing Osmos Uploaders) and automated SFTP pipelines (replacing Osmos Pipelines). FileFeed adds AI capabilities that Osmos never shipped: cross-client mapping memory, natural language transformations, an AI Assistant for conversational pipeline setup, and an MCP server for AI agent integration.
How do I migrate from Osmos to FileFeed?
Sign up for a free FileFeed account, recreate your schemas (the AI Assistant can help from sample files), create clients with SFTP credentials, configure pipelines with field mappings, set up webhooks, and point your clients to the new SFTP endpoints. Most teams complete the migration for their first 5 to 10 clients within a week.
Does FileFeed have a free tier?
Yes. FileFeed's embeddable importer is free forever with no record limits. Osmos charged $0.0001 per record even on their free tier. FileFeed's automated pipelines also include a free plan to get started.
Why not just use Microsoft Fabric instead?
Microsoft Fabric is an enterprise data analytics platform, not a B2B data onboarding tool. It does not offer embeddable importers, per-client SFTP endpoints, or multi-tenant pipeline management for normalizing files from enterprise clients into your product schema. It solves a different problem.
Do not wait for your Osmos pipelines to break.
The shutdown is already in progress. Start migrating today with a free FileFeed account and the AI Assistant to rebuild your pipelines in minutes.
