Best for hosted wikis for communities and small teams
Wikidot hosts wiki sites, free for 5 sites with 300 MB each, and from $49.90 a year for Pro Lite. The free plan shows ads you cannot control, and the API and custom layout are paid.
Who Wikidot is for
- Fits if you run a community wiki or hobby project on a tight budget
- Works for a small group that wants a private wiki for up to 5 members free
Who Wikidot is not for
- Watch out: free accounts show ads you cannot control
- Tight if you want an API or custom layout, as both are paid
- Watch out: prices are in US dollars for customers outside the EU, and EU customers see euro prices with 23% VAT
- Watch out: Community Sites cannot be made private and are only for approved sites
Why Wikidot gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- AValue for moneyPro Lite is $49.90 a year, about $4.16 a month, under 60% of the category's cheapest quarter at $4.20. Pro is $119.90 and Pro Plus $239.90 a year.
- BFree plan and trialA free account with 5 sites, 300 MB per site, unlimited pages and revisions, and private sites for up to 5 members. Ads are shown with no control over them.
- CFeaturesWiki pages with full history, members and roles, themes and domains, and private sites. Gaps: the XML-RPC API and custom layout are paid, and extra sites and storage are sold in packs.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. Wikidot has its own markup and layout to learn, and permissions and themes are yours to set up.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with an XML-RPC API on the paid plans. No apps or integrations are listed.

Keep Wikidot, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Wikidot you could make: wiki. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $49.90 a year.
What you could make
- Wiki: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- An API that other software can build on.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.
What this rests on. Wikidot’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.
