Tiki Wiki is a free open-source wiki, CMS and groupware package with trackers and layout control. You install and update it yourself, support comes from the community or paid consultants, and it has far more settings than a focused wiki. - **Value for money: C.** Free software, but it only runs on a server you provide or on TikiHosting, which is sold separately. That needs a server, so it sits at the middle. - **Free plan and trial: A.** Free and open source with no plan caps. You pay only for hosting and any consultant help. - **Features: B.** Wiki pages with full layout control, trackers, built-in CMS parts and groupware, on an active release line. It covers the whole wiki job and more, and nothing in the listing shows a gap. - **Ease of use: D.** You install and maintain it yourself, including the frequent security releases, and it has many more options to configure. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, served from your own server. No integrations or apps are listed on the pages read. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Tiki Wiki's own pages on 12 November 2026.

And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces. - You could make: Wiki and forms: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: A builder that other people can use without writing code. - You could not: Databases with views, filters and links between them. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool.
