XWiki
Open-source enterprise wiki with structured data and apps
What is XWiki?
XWiki is an open-source wiki platform, distributed under the LGPL license, for knowledge bases and intranets. Besides pages edited in a WYSIWYG editor with comments and a full history of changes, it lets teams add structured data, forms and small applications to the wiki and extend it with more than 700 extensions. The Community version is free to set up yourself, and XWiki SAS sells cloud hosting and support subscriptions priced in euros by team size.
XWiki has a free plan. Paid plans start at 309 € per year for 10 users (Starter, XWiki Cloud only). See every plan
