| Pricing | $10 per user/month, billed yearly (Basic) · free tier: 14-day free trial covering everything in Basic and Pro, no credit card required; no free-forever tier on the live pricing page | USD $100/month (Basic: 1,000 articles, 1 author, 1 knowledge base, unlimited readers, 100 AI credits) · free tier: None — no free version; 30-day free trial with no credit card required, extendable for free |

| Best for | 20–300 person English- or French-speaking companies that want a dedicated best-of-breed knowledge base, will standardise on the $20 Pro tier, and already work in Slack plus Jira, Linear, Google Drive or HubSpot. | Small-to-mid documentation or support teams of roughly 1-10 authors publishing a heavily branded public help centre or permissioned internal KB to a large reader population, who value responsive human support, included migration and HIPAA/GDPR agreements over the lowest sticker price — nonprofits and B Corps get a further 25% off. |
| Avoid if | You need a permanent free tier, self-serve SSO/SCIM/audit logs without an Enterprise negotiation, heavy uncapped AI usage, multilingual UI beyond English and French, or a combined docs-plus-project-management workspace. | You need a free or sub-$50 plan, have many casual or occasional authors (per-author fees compound fast), maintain a very large documentation estate on a lower tier due to the article caps, depend on heavy AI-assistant usage against low credit ceilings, or require customisation beyond CSS/HTML theming. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
