Elium vs Slite (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Elium if

• Fits if you have 10 or more people who need one governed knowledge base
• Works for companies that tie their wiki to Microsoft 365 or Zendesk

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you have fewer than 10 users, as every plan has a 10-user minimum
• Skip it if you want a free plan, as there isn't one
• Watch out: the trial starts with a call to the Elium team
• Pricey if you need approvals or SSO, which need Corporate at €20 a user billed yearly
• Watch out: prices are in euros and Enterprise isn't priced

Pick Slite if

• Fits if you want every doc to have an owner and a verified status
• Works for teams that want Claude or ChatGPT reading their docs, as MCP and the API are on every plan

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a free plan, because after the 14-day trial it's pay or stop
• Pricey if you want the Agent, search across connected tools, OpenID SSO or a custom domain, which need Pro at $20 a person
• Tight if your team leans on AI, as Basic caps each member at 30 questions and 30 edits a month
• Watch out: the pricing page shows yearly prices only, and the monthly price isn't published
• Tight if you store lots of files, as Basic allows 5 GB and 200 MB uploads; reader-only seats are Enterprise only

Content ownership and review

Each article has an owner, and stale content or gaps are flagged and routed to that owner to verify. Expiry reminders are on every plan.

AI answers with sources

Staff can ask questions and get AI answers that cite the source article. Unlimited AI search and answers are included, with no usage credits.

MCP and AI agent connections

The Corporate plan connects ChatGPT, Claude or custom agents over the Model Context Protocol, keeping permissions and citations.

Templates, AI editor and decision trees

Articles are written with an AI editor and reusable templates, and decision trees guide readers through multi-step procedures.

Governance and reporting

Approval workflows, duplicate and gap detection, and dashboards on content, search and AI answers come with Corporate. SSO and audit trail are on Corporate as well.

Connectors and import

Slite

Collaborative editor

A real-time editor with comments, mentions, custom templates, recurring scheduled docs and doc history. Docs can be exported as PDF, Markdown or HTML.

Doc verification and ownership

Each doc can have an owner and a verification status, and the Knowledge Management Panel lets admins review and act on many docs at once.

Ask: AI search and answers

Answers questions with cited sources. Basic searches Slite docs with 30 questions per member a month; Pro and Enterprise search connected tools with 100 per member.

Slite Agent

On Pro and Enterprise, an agent watches connected tools, drafts updates to out-of-date docs and routes them to a person for approval. It draws on pooled credits, 50 per seat a month.

MCP and public API

Every plan includes a public API and an MCP server, so assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor can search, read and edit docs under the user's permissions.

Public docs

Docs can be shared publicly on every plan, with AI answers for readers. Search-engine indexing, custom branding and a custom domain for public docs start on Pro.
