Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Ombud and Matterlyt?

Ombud is a presales operating system for enterprise teams with dedicated Sales Engineering and proposal management functions — it handles RFPs, InfoSec questionnaires, POC frameworks, and presales workflows at scale. Matterlyt is built for AEs who need to answer security questionnaires themselves, instantly, without a presales team behind them.

Can Matterlyt replace Ombud for security questionnaire handling?

For most B2B SaaS sales teams without a dedicated proposal function, yes. Matterlyt gives AEs instant AI answers from day one, no enterprise onboarding required. If you run a mature presales organization with high RFP volume and a dedicated proposal team, Ombud may be the better fit for that complexity.

How does Ombud pricing compare to Matterlyt?

Ombud uses enterprise custom pricing with no published rates — all deals require a sales process and multi-week implementation. Matterlyt starts at $499/month with same-day setup and no sales engineering or proposal team required to get value from day one.
