Docmost vs Gramax

Docmost

• Organizations that must keep documentation on their own servers
• Teams moving from Confluence or Notion to a self-hosted wiki
• Regulated or air-gapped environments

Gramax

• Teams that want documentation kept as Markdown files in their own Git repository
• Product and developer documentation published as a reader portal
• Companies with many readers and few authors, since only editors need a license

Docmost

• The pricing page covers self-managed editions only: you deploy and run Docmost on your own infrastructure.
• The Business edition has a 10-seat minimum and is priced on annual billing; no monthly price is shown.
• SSO, MFA, AI, Bases, Kanban, templates and page-level permissions are not in the free Open Source edition.
• SCIM, audit logs, SIEM and the page verification workflow are limited to Enterprise, which has custom pricing.

Gramax

• Corporate SSO, admin-panel access management, analytics, training tests and portal notifications are limited to Enterprise Server.
• Enterprise Server has a 10-license minimum, so the smallest purchase is $200 a month or $7,000 one-time.
• In the open-source version the AI agent and AI search run on a model you supply.
• Sharing work between people depends on a Git storage, and the docs list browser and desktop versions but no mobile apps.

Docmost

Real-time collaborative editor

Several people edit the same page at once with live cursors. The editor has a slash menu, @ mentions, tables, code blocks, math equations and Markdown shortcuts.

Spaces and permissions

Unlimited spaces separate content by team, project or department, each with its own permissions and groups. Page-level permissions need the Business edition.

Built-in diagrams

Draw.io, Excalidraw and Mermaid diagrams are created inside a page, and all three are included in the free Open Source edition.

AI search, chat and MCP

Business and Enterprise add AI answers grounded in your pages with source citations, running on a self-hosted or cloud LLM, and can expose the wiki as an MCP server.

Bases and Kanban

Bases organize content as structured databases with properties, filters, sorts and formulas, in table and Kanban views. They are part of the Business edition.

Import and export

Pages import from Markdown, HTML and Notion and export to Markdown and HTML on every edition. Confluence, DOCX and PDF import need Business.

Gramax

Visual editor over Markdown and Git

Articles are edited visually and saved as Markdown files. Syncing and publishing run on Git commands built into the interface, against GitHub, GitLab, Gitea or another Git storage.

Documentation portal

Catalogs are published as a site for readers through Gramax Cloud, a Docker container on your own server or a static site. Portals and readers are unlimited in both versions.

Diagrams, templates and fragments

Articles can include Diagrams.net, Mermaid and PlantUML diagrams, start from article templates and reuse fragments of content across articles.

Versions and change approval

Catalogs keep versions and a change history, and an edit proposed by an author or the AI agent is reviewed line by line before it is accepted.

AI search and AI agent

Readers ask a question and get an answer with links to the source articles, and the agent flags duplicates and conflicts. The free version runs on your own model; Enterprise needs no model setup.

Training and metrics

Enterprise Server adds questions inside articles with test results per employee, plus visit history, search queries and click-through rates for finding gaps.
