Tettra vs Waybook

Tettra

• Slack-based teams that field the same questions repeatedly
• Support and operations teams building an internal knowledge base
• Companies that want to reuse existing Google Docs as a wiki

Waybook

• Companies of 20 or more documenting SOPs and onboarding new hires in one place
• Teams that need a record of who has read and acknowledged a policy
• Compliance training with deadlines, tests and completion reports

Tettra

• There is no free plan: a card is required once the 30-day trial ends, and the Scaling plan has a 10-user minimum.
• Single sign-on (SAML) and SCIM provisioning are paid add-ons on Scaling and are included only in Enterprise.
• The app interface is English-only, although content can be written in any language.
• Tettra's site lists no desktop or mobile apps; it is used in a browser and through its Slack integration.

Waybook

• There is no free plan, only a 7-day trial, and every plan is priced for a minimum of 20 members.
• Approvals, the audit log, SSO and directory sync, enforced 2FA and custom domains need Pro, which costs twice as much as Core.
• Core limits the glossary to 5 terms, and self-serve pricing stops at 500 seats; larger teams are sent to sales.
• The pricing page says SSO and directory sync carry minimum seat requirements that depend on the identity provider.

Tettra

Internal knowledge base

Pages are written in Tettra's editor or built from existing Google Docs, Markdown files and other content, then grouped into categories with unlimited version history.

AI answers from Kai

When someone asks a question in Tettra or Slack, the Kai bot searches the knowledge base and replies. If it finds nothing, it helps assign the question to the right person.

Questions and answers

Questions and their answers are stored alongside pages, so a question that has been answered once can be found again instead of asked again.

Verification and content reports

Subject-matter experts verify pages on a set schedule, teammates can request new pages or updates, and reports list stale, unowned and public content.

Slack integration

From Slack, teammates can search Tettra, get AI answers in channels and direct messages, summarize threads and turn existing answers into knowledge base content.

Sharing and permissions

Single pages can be shared by link and whole categories published as external sites. Read-only users, guest users, invite-only categories and page locking control access.

Waybook

Subjects, documents and steps

Every plan allows unlimited subjects, documents and steps. A step can hold video, images, checklists, tables, callouts, code, maps, PDFs and web embeds, added with a slash command.

Learning paths, tests and tracking

Learning paths put documents and tasks in a guided order for a role, with tests, fixed due dates and reports on who has completed what. Recurring due dates need Pro.

Search and Waybook Ask

Search covers every title and step, and Waybook Ask answers questions in plain English from the workspace's own published documents, respecting each member's permissions.

AI writer, templates and flow charts

The AI content writer is unlimited on every plan, alongside a template library for SOPs, policies and training and interactive flow charts with decision points.

Waybook Shots

A Chrome extension that captures a workflow on screen and turns each click into a step of an SOP, which can be shared by link, embedded in Waybook or exported as PDF.

Approvals and audit trail

Pro adds approval stages that block publishing until signed off, document verification with review dates, confirmation steps, full version history and an audit log.
