Squirro alternative for SMEs: Squirro and yeos

Enterprise platform or a start without a project

Since 2012, Zurich-based Squirro has built enterprise search and GenAI for large, regulated organisations – banks, central banks, insurers, governments and industrial groups. yeos is for SMEs that want to start with their company knowledge without an IT project. Both put sourced answers first.

What is Squirro?

Squirro AG describes itself as a "connected AI layer" for enterprises: agents, knowledge graphs, guardrails, a privacy layer, taxonomy management and enterprise search, with shared governance and audit across agents.

According to its website, Squirro runs in the customer’s private cloud, on-premise or hybrid. Squirro is ISO 27001 certified, SOC 2 Type I attested and connects language models in a vendor-agnostic way. Named customers include Henkel, Bühler, the Bank of England and Deutsche Bundesbank.

Where Squirro is strong

For large, regulated organisations that must run AI in their own infrastructure, Squirro brings experience, security attestations and tools such as knowledge graphs and taxonomies that go beyond document search.

Ready-made agents for RFP responses, regulatory research or contract analysis are designed for enterprise processes.

Where yeos differs

Squirro does not publish prices; you start with a demo and a project, with first users about eight weeks after signing according to its website. yeos has a permanent free plan and fixed prices per organisation – a SharePoint library connects in a few clicks.

yeos runs as a service at Infomaniak in Switzerland; you need no infrastructure of your own. Every answer names its source, the Brain keeps decisions with their origin, and agents prepare offers, status reports and replies.

Which one fits?

Squirro fits corporates, banks and public bodies that want to run an enterprise platform in their own environment and plan for an implementation project.

yeos fits SMEs that want to start today – no infrastructure, no project, and a price that matches the size of the team.
