Slite: pricing, pros and cons
Slite is deliberately small: a wiki with AI search that answers from your own docs, plus flags for pages going stale. It will not try to be a database.

Questions
Slite, answered
What is Slite best for?
Teams whose real problem is that nobody can find anything. Companies wanting EU hosting without self-managing it. In short: a deliberately small wiki with AI search, built to keep knowledge current.
What are the downsides of Slite?
Not a fit if you want docs and structured data in one tool. Fewer integrations than the larger platforms. Smaller vendor, which matters to some procurement teams. The trade-off in one line: Intentionally limited — no database layer, no app-building.
How much does Slite cost?
About $8/seat/mo on its common paid tier — roughly $4,800 a year for 50 people. There is a free tier. That figure is our unverified estimate; confirm it with the vendor before budgeting.
What are the best Slite alternatives?
In documentation & wiki the credible alternatives are Coda, Confluence, Notion, Outline. Which fits depends on your team size, budget and non-negotiables — our questionnaire ranks all of them against your answers in about three minutes.
Is Slite worth switching away from?
Only if one of its real drawbacks is costing you something concrete. Intentionally limited — no database layer, no app-building. If none of the downsides above describe your situation, staying is almost always cheaper than moving — a migration costs weeks, and a tool that merely annoys you is not worth them.
Prices are unverified estimates — useful for comparing orders of magnitude, not for budgeting. Confirm the current figure with the vendor before you commit to anything.
Is Slite still the right call for your team?
Answer about a dozen questions and we will rank Slite against every alternative in documentation & wiki — with the reasoning shown, and the cost of switching at your actual seat count.
