Why Teams Choose FileFeed over OneSchema

If your workflow stops at manual uploads, OneSchema’s spreadsheet-like validation and guided importer can be a great fit. If your files also arrive via SFTP exports, partner integrations, or automated systems, you’ll benefit from FileFeed’s end-to-end automation.

Key Differences

  • Start free vs gated: FileFeed includes a free embeddable importer you can use forever and a free plan for Automated FileFeeds. OneSchema offers paid plans with no public pricing and typically starts via demo/sales.
  • Scope: OneSchema focuses on the importer and pull-based recurring ingest via SFTP. FileFeed automates the entire pipeline capture, validation, transformation, and delivery with monitoring and reprocessing.
  • Visibility & control: FileFeed provides unified monitoring, reruns, and full-text document search.

Pricing & Getting Started

  • OneSchema: paid plans with no public pricing; onboarding typically goes through a demo or sales contact. Embedding requires SDK configuration with clientId, userJwt (session token), and a templateKey.
  • FileFeed: embeddable importer is free forever drop it into your app without contracts or tokens. Upgrade to Automated FileFeeds with a free plan.

What FileFeed Automates

  • Capture from every source: SFTP, email attachments, integrations, manual uploads, API drops all in one pipeline.
  • Validate and transform: schema checks, mapping, normalization, custom rules, and automatic fixes.
  • Monitor and reprocess: track run status, inspect errors, rerun jobs, and download originals/processed files.
  • Search across documents: full-text document search so teams can query by any word across feeds.
  • Deliver clean data: push to webhooks, APIs, databases, storage, or your backend reliably and securely.

Why Teams Switch

  • End-to-end pipeline that eliminates manual handoffs beyond the importer.
  • Lower operational burden no bespoke cron jobs, scripts, or runners to keep alive.
  • Faster onboarding with reusable schemas, mappings, and transformations.
  • Better visibility unified monitoring, reruns, and search in one place.

If all data flows through your UI, OneSchema may cover your use case. If files also arrive via SFTP exports, partner integrations, or automated systems, FileFeed is the only option that removes the manual work end to end.
