Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.8
GPA, above 34 of the 51 other docs and wiki tools we grade
Slite is a knowledge base for company documentation such as handbooks, runbooks and help content. Docs have owners and a verification status, and an AI search feature called Ask answers questions with citations. On the Pro plan, the Slite Agent watches connected tools such as Slack, Linear and GitHub and drafts doc updates for a person to approve.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Slite, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No app rating on record, but there's nothing to set up: sign up, start writing, and the trial asks for no card.
- 1
Best for a team knowledge base with AI answers
Slite is a knowledge base where each doc can have an owner and a verified status, and an AI called Ask answers questions with sources.
- 2
Paid plans start at $10 a month for each person
As its pricing page puts it: $10 per user / month, billed yearly.
- 3
You can try it first
14-day free trial covering Basic and Pro features, no credit card required
- 4
It runs on 5 platforms
Web, macOS, Windows, iOS and Android, with a browser extension too.
- 5
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.
- 6
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.
- 7
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.
- 8
A 2.8 GPA, above 34 of 51
That is against the other docs and wiki tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace Slite you would be making a search engine with an AI model behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for a team knowledge base with AI answers
Slite is a knowledge base where each doc can have an owner and a verified status, and an AI called Ask answers questions with sources. There's no free plan: after 14 days it's $10 a person a month billed yearly, and the monthly price isn't published. Basic caps AI at 30 questions a member a month, and the Agent, search across your other tools and SSO wait on Pro at $20.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Basic is $10 a person a month billed yearly, in the broad middle band for this category. The Slite Agent and search across your other tools need Pro at $20, and the monthly price isn't published at all: the pricing page shows yearly figures only. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan. You get a 14-day trial of the Basic and Pro features with no card asked for, which is the ordinary arrangement, and after that you pay or you stop using the workspace. |
| Features | B | It covers the whole knowledge-base job: a real-time editor with templates, recurring scheduled docs and history, owners and a verification status on every doc, a panel for reviewing docs in bulk, Ask answering with citations, and public docs, an API and an MCP server on every plan. |
| Ease of use | B | No app rating on record, but there's nothing to set up: sign up, start writing, and the trial asks for no card. Admins get a Knowledge Management Panel for going through a pile of docs in one sitting. |
| Platforms and integrations | A | Web, Mac, Windows, iPhone, Android and a browser extension. It connects to Slack, Google Drive, GitHub, Linear and Jira, and the API and MCP server are on every plan, so Claude or ChatGPT can read and edit your docs. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Slite is for
- 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
Who it is not for
- 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
Good to know
Good for
- Teams that want an internal knowledge base with owned, verified docs
- Companies that want cited AI answers drawn from their own documentation
- Remote teams documenting handbooks, processes and runbooks
Worth knowing
- There is no free plan: after the 14-day trial, a paid subscription is needed to keep using the workspace.
- The pricing page shows yearly-billed prices only; a monthly plan exists, but its price is not published there.
- The Slite Agent, search across connected tools, OpenID SSO and custom domains for public docs need Pro at $20 per user / month.
- Basic limits each member to 30 AI questions and 30 AI edits a month, 5 GB of storage and 200 MB file uploads.

Part 04 · Standing
Where it stands
Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
34/51
Other docs and wiki tools it is graded above
Slite's GPA of 2.8 is higher than 34 of the 51 other docs and wiki tools we grade, and level with 8.
It stands best on platforms and integrations (A, above 48 of 51) and worst on free plan and trial (C, above 4).
Its paid plans start at $10 a month for each person, against a middle price of $16.50 for the category: 17 of the 41 others that charge start lower.
On features, ease of use and platforms it scores 3.3 out of 4. Nothing scores higher for less, though at least one tool matches that score at a lower price.
Each grade against the category
Every bar is all 52 docs and wiki tools we grade, cut by the letter each got. Slite’s own letter is outlined.
- CValue for moneyAbove 10 of 51
- CFree plan and trialAbove 4 of 51
- BFeaturesAbove 21 of 51

- APlatforms and integrationsAbove 48 of 51
Price against what you get
Each dot is one of 47 docs and wiki tools. Further left costs less; higher up scores better on features, ease of use and platforms. Slite is the marked dot.
What paid plans start at, a month (each step along is roughly double) →
Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Slite you would be making a search engine with an AI model behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 34 of the 51 other docs and wiki tools we grade. It costs $120 a year.
What you could make
- Wiki and documents: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A search engine with an AI model behind it.
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- Several people working in it at the same moment.
- It plugs into other products, Slack, Google Drive and GitHub among them, and has an API.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Slite’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
