Buy if you're publishing a customer-facing help center or docs site and want simple per-knowledge-base pricing. Pass if you need an internal wiki or run many separate knowledge bases — Notion, Slite, or SharePoint are cheaper fits.

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

Pricing is per knowledge base, not per seat — running several KBs multiplies cost fast.

medium

AI help consumes AI credits; heavy usage adds unpredictable cost.

low

Enterprise plan is custom-priced (~$500 listed); confirm included features before assuming enterprise capabilities.
