Pros

  • Live co-editing, comments and page history in the free edition
  • Draw.io, Excalidraw and Mermaid diagrams
  • Spaces, a drag-and-drop page tree and full-text search
  • Free Markdown, HTML, Notion and ZIP import

Cons

  • SSO, LDAP, two-factor login, page-level permissions and the REST API are paid
  • First commit in 2024 and still pre-1.0 in early 2026
  • Enterprise code sits under a proprietary license in the same repository

Choose if: You want live editing and a lighter setup than Outline, and can live without single sign-on or pay for it.

Rankings and alternatives

Self-hosted team wikis scores

Evaluated Nov 14, 2026 Evidence ↓
  • Writing experience · counts double 4

    4/5 means: A good visual or Markdown editor with diagrams or comments built in.

    Real-time editor with comments, page history, Draw.io, Excalidraw and Mermaid diagrams, math and Markdown shortcuts; younger and less polished than Outline.

  • Simultaneous editing 5

    5/5 means: Proven live co-editing with cursors, built in.

    People edit the same page at once without overwriting each other, in the free Community edition.

  • Track record · counts double 2

    2/5 means: Young (pre-1.0) or a very recent rewrite that its own users advise testing before production.

    First commit in 2024 and still pre-1.0 in early 2026, with docs thinner on advanced configuration.

  • Structure and search 4

    4/5 means: Nested structure plus built-in full-text search that works for a team-sized wiki.

    Spaces, a drag-and-drop page tree and full-text search with filters.

  • Access control and sign-in (free edition) 2

    2/5 means: Group or space permissions, but single sign-on, directory login or two-factor login are missing from the free edition or need unreliable add-ons.

    Free edition has email and password sign-in with workspace and space permissions; SSO, LDAP, two-factor login, page-level permissions and the REST API are paid.

  • Setup and upkeep · counts double 3

    3/5 means: The app, a database and a cache or extra service, or a stack whose extensions break on upgrade.

    Three containers (app, PostgreSQL, Redis), SMTP for invites and resets, and a reverse proxy that passes websockets.

  • License and lock-in 4

    4/5 means: Open source (AGPL) but with proprietary enterprise code in the same repository.

    AGPL-3.0 core, but enterprise features live under a proprietary license in separate directories of the same repository.

  • Import, export and API 3

    3/5 means: Export plus an API or importers, with a notable part locked behind a paid edition or limited.

    Markdown and HTML export, free Notion and ZIP import; Confluence, DOCX and PDF importers and the REST API are paid.

  • Extensions and customization 2

    2/5 means: A deliberately narrow product with an API but few extensions.

    Integrations and embeds, but a young project with a small ecosystem.
