Gotchas
- highCommunity Edition has no SSO — a hard blocker for many companies; Enterprise pricing isn't public.⁴
- mediumSelf-hosted: you handle updates, backups, and security patching yourself.¹
- mediumEvidence confirms flat $10/month only for 10 hosted users; larger-team pricing unverified.⁴
- mediumConfluence/Notion migration is marketed as easy — pilot the import before moving everything.¹
Best for
- Regulated teams requiring self-hosting
- Engineering teams already running servers
- Cost-sensitive Confluence/Notion replacements
- Small teams (≤10) wanting a cheap hosted wiki
Not for
- Non-technical teams with nobody to run a server
- Anyone needing SSO without paying Enterprise
- Buyers who need published enterprise pricing and SLAs
- Guess: enterprises needing a mature integration/plugin ecosystem
