Slite alternatives: the wiki to move to, and how to get your docs out
Six destinations, one for each reason to leave, and a six-step exit plan built around Slite's backup.
The short answer: Notion if you want a wiki that also runs databases and projects, Nuclino if you liked Slite because it was simple and want to pay less, Slab if you want a free plan for up to 10 people and the only official guide for importing from Slite, Outline if your team is small or wants to self-host, Confluence if you already live in Jira, and Tettra if your questions get asked in Slack. One thing to know before you pick: Slite has no bulk export button for a channel. The clean way out is the workspace backup, which only the owner can run and whose download link expires after 15 days. We compared the six destinations and checked their 2026 prices in US dollars.

Why teams outgrow Slite, and what makes leaving tricky
Slite does one thing well: a clean, calm team wiki that people actually open. Plenty of teams stay happy with it for years, and some of them say so plainly: it has fewer features than Notion, and that's the point. People leave for six reasons, and most of them show up on the invoice or on the day you try to export.
No free plan, and a short trial
Slite has no free tier in 2026. You get a 14-day trial of Basic or Pro without a card, then an admin has to buy a plan. During the trial you can't invite guests, so you can't check how it works with a freelancer or a client before paying. Nonprofits and schools can ask support for a discount on Basic.
AI is rationed on Basic
Basic costs $10 per user per month, billed yearly. It includes Ask, Slite's AI search, but capped at 30 questions per seat per month, plus 30 AI edits per user. The agent, search across your other tools and the fact-checking that proposes fixes all sit on Pro, at $20 per user. If AI is why you chose Slite, the real price is double the sticker.
Every regular reader costs a full seat
Read-only seats exist only on Enterprise, which is quote-only. On Basic and Pro, a colleague who only reads the handbook pays like an editor. A 40-person company with 8 writers pays for most of those 40 seats, unless its readers can live with guest access, capped at 5 per paid member.
Getting everything out is a one-person job
You can export a single doc as PDF, Markdown or HTML, but there's no button to export a channel with all its docs. The full backup goes through workspace settings, sends a .zip link to the workspace owner only, and that link dies after 15 days. Files over 200 MiB are left out of the backup.
Comments and history stay behind
Exports don't include version history or comments, and large tables can come out truncated. If your team made decisions in comment threads, those decisions don't follow you unless you copy them by hand.
It stays a wiki, on purpose
Users on review sites and forums keep raising the same limits: fewer integrations than the big suites, no relational databases like Notion's, less granular permissions than Confluence, a structure that gets hard to organize as docs pile up, and some slowness on large workspaces. None of it matters for a 10-person team. All of it matters at 150.

Slite alternatives, tool by tool
For each tool: why switch to it, who it fits, its catch, how to bring your Slite docs over, and what it costs. Prices are the ones each vendor shows in 2026, in US dollars, per user per month unless stated otherwise. For scale, Slite costs a 10-person team $100 a month on Basic and $200 on Pro, billed yearly.
Notion: when your wiki needs to do more than store pages
Most versatileWhy switch to Notion. Slite is a wiki and stays one. Notion is a wiki plus databases you can link together, project boards, and team spaces. If half your Slite docs are really lists (clients, hires, roadmap items) pasted as tables, Notion turns them into filterable databases. Plus costs $10 per member per month billed yearly, the same as Slite Basic, and you get far more building blocks for that price.
Who it's for. Teams that want one tool for docs and light project tracking, and that have someone willing to set up a clean structure.
Who it's not for. Teams that chose Slite precisely because it's calm. Notion gives everyone the power to build pages their own way, and without a few rules, a workspace turns messy fast.
The catch. The full AI set (Notion Agent, AI meeting notes, enterprise search) is on Business at $20 per member, the same price as Slite Pro. The free plan is fine solo but limited for a team: a block limit, 5 MB uploads, 7 days of page history and 10 guests.
How to migrate. Notion has no Slite importer. Run Slite's Markdown backup, then import the .zip in Notion through Settings, Import. Notion accepts zip files up to 5 GB, but archives with more than 10,000 files can fail, so split a big workspace by channel. Individual Markdown or HTML files are capped at 5 MB on Free and 50 MB on paid plans. Our Notion review rates it 4.0 out of 5 and covers the rest.
- Free
- yes, limited for teams
- Paid
- Plus $10/member/mo yearly
- Best for
- docs plus databases
- Catch
- full AI on Business, $20
Nuclino: the closest thing to Slite, for less
Best valueWhy switch to Nuclino. Nuclino keeps what people like about Slite: a fast, uncluttered editor, linked pages, and a team that reads instead of fiddling with layouts. It also gives you canvases for visual planning. Starter costs $6 per user per month billed yearly ($72 a year), or $8 month to month. A 10-person team pays $60 a month instead of $100 on Slite Basic.
Who it's for. Small teams that want Slite's simplicity and don't need AI on every seat.
Who it's not for. Teams that rely on Slite's doc verification or AI answers. Nuclino has no doc verification, and its AI assistant, Sidekick, only comes with Business.
The catch. The free plan stops at 50 items, 3 canvases and 2 GB in total, with no AI: enough to try, not to run a wiki. Business costs $10 per user yearly ($12 monthly) and adds Sidekick, SAML SSO, audit logs, unlimited history and 20 GB per user. Above 100 users, you talk to sales.
How to migrate. Nuclino doesn't document a Slite importer, so plan to work from Slite's Markdown backup. Start the 14-day Starter trial (no card needed) and bring in one channel first: check headings, tables and images before moving the rest.
- Free
- 50 items, 2 GB, no AI
- Paid
- Starter $6/user/mo yearly
- Best for
- small, simple teams
- Catch
- AI only on Business
Slab: the free plan and the one official Slite import guide
Easiest switchWhy switch to Slab. Slab sits in the same family as Slite: a focused team wiki rather than an all-in-one workspace. Two things set it apart for someone leaving Slite. It's free for up to 10 users with unlimited posts. And it's the only alternative we found with an official help article for importing from Slite, which cuts guesswork on migration day.
Who it's for. Teams that like the Slite way of writing and want to stop paying for it, or pay less once they grow.
Who it's not for. Teams that want databases or project management inside the wiki: Slab stays a pure wiki.
The catch. The free plan caps attachments at 10 MB and keeps 90 days of history. Startup costs $6.67 per user per month billed yearly, Business $12.50. Nonprofits and schools get Startup for free, and Slab offers a 30-day refund.
How to migrate. Request the backup from Slite (it arrives as a .zip link by email), then import the Markdown or HTML files into Slab following its Slite guide. The guide doesn't list what is kept, so check one topic with tables, images and links before you move everything.
- Free
- up to 10 users
- Paid
- Startup $6.67/user/mo yearly
- Best for
- small teams leaving Slite
- Catch
- 10 MB attachments on Free
Outline: a flat team price, or your own server
Cheapest for 10Why switch to Outline. Outline doesn't charge per seat on its cloud plan. It charges per team size: $10 a month for 1 to 10 members, $79 a month for 11 to 100, $249 for 101 to 200, and a quote above that. For a team of 10, that's $10 a month in total, against $100 on Slite Basic. It's also the simplest tool on this list to run on your own server.
Who it's for. Teams of 5 to 10 people that want a clean wiki for almost nothing, and technical teams that want to host their docs themselves.
Who it's not for. A team of 11. The jump from $10 to $79 a month hits at the eleventh member, so do the math before you grow.
The catch. After 30 free days without a payment method, your workspace goes read-only (you can still export). Self-hosting has a free Community edition with limited features and no support, then Business at $4 per user per month yearly (10 users minimum) and Enterprise at $5 (100 users minimum). Nonprofits and schools get 30% off. Check the self-hosted license terms with your tech lead before you count on it as open source.
How to migrate. Outline doesn't document a Slite importer. Use the 30-day cloud trial to import part of your Slite Markdown backup and see how pages and links come through before you commit.
- Free
- 30-day trial; self-hosted Community
- Paid
- $10/mo for up to 10 members
- Best for
- teams of 10 or fewer
- Catch
- $79/mo from 11 members
Confluence: when your team already lives in Jira
Jira teamsWhy switch to Confluence. If engineering tracks work in Jira, Confluence puts specs, runbooks and tickets under the same roof. It also handles what Slite users often miss as they grow: fine-grained permissions by space and page. The free plan covers up to 10 users with 2 GB of storage.
Who it's for. Product and engineering teams on Jira, and companies that need strict access control.
Who it's not for. A small non-technical team. Confluence is heavier than Slite, and people who loved Slite's calm editor tend to find it busy.
The catch. Past 10 users you move to Standard or Premium, billed per user, and the per-user price drops as you add seats. Rovo, Atlassian's AI, is included from Standard. Standard has a 14-day trial.
How to migrate. There's no Slite importer: you bring in your Markdown backup page by page or channel by channel, then rebuild the space tree. If you're weighing Confluence against leaving it, our guide to leaving Confluence shows the other side of the trade.
- Free
- up to 10 users, 2 GB
- Paid
- Standard, per user
- Best for
- teams on Jira
- Catch
- heavier than Slite
Tettra: when your wiki is really a Slack help desk
Slack teamsWhy switch to Tettra. Some teams don't browse a wiki, they ask in Slack. Tettra is built for that: answers to recurring questions, and a knowledge base that lives next to the chat. If your Slite Ask quota runs out every month because people keep asking the same things, Tettra tackles the problem where it starts.
Who it's for. Teams of 10 or more that run on Slack and want fewer repeated questions.
Who it's not for. A team of 4. With a 10-user minimum, you pay for 10 seats anyway.
The catch. Scaling costs $8 per user per month with that 10-user minimum, so $80 a month at the floor. Yearly billing saves 20%. There's no free plan, but a 30-day trial, after which you add a card. Only invited users who accept count toward the bill.
How to migrate. Move your most-read Slite docs first, the ones behind the questions that keep coming back in Slack. Use the 30-day trial to import a slice of your Markdown backup and see how it reads in Tettra.
- Free
- no, 30-day trial
- Paid
- $8/user/mo, 10 minimum
- Best for
- Slack-first teams
- Catch
- $80/mo floor
Slite and its 6 alternatives side by side
Our default pick: Slab or Outline for a team of 10 or fewer, Notion if the wiki needs databases, Nuclino if you just want Slite for less. To compare like for like, here's what a 10-person team pays per month, billed yearly: Slite Basic $100, Slite Pro $200, Notion Plus $100, Tettra $80, Slab Startup $66.70, Nuclino Starter $60, Outline Cloud $10, Confluence Free $0. One row per tool: the free option on the left, the first paid price and the way in from Slite on the right.
| Free option | First paid plan and migration | |
|---|---|---|
| SliteWhere you're leaving | None, 14-day trial without card | Basic $10/user/mo yearly (30 AI questions per seat); Pro $20 |
| NotionMost versatile | Free plan, limited blocks and 7-day history for teams | Plus $10/member/mo yearly; zip import of the Slite Markdown backup |

| ConfluenceJira teams | Up to 10 users, 2 GB | Standard, billed per user; no Slite importer |
| TettraSlack teams | None, 30-day trial | $8/user/mo, 10 users minimum; 20% off yearly |
Prices shown by each vendor in 2026, in US dollars, per user per month unless stated. Outline Cloud is billed per team size, not per seat.
Leave Slite in six steps
Slite gives you two exits: one doc at a time, or the full workspace backup. For a real move you want the backup, and you want it from the right account. The order below protects your docs, the context around them, and the links people already use.
Map your workspace before you export
Day 1List your channels, who owns each one, which docs people open every week, and which ones nobody has touched in a year. Note the integrations too: links pinned in Slack, docs embedded in your tools, public docs on a custom domain if you're on Pro.
This is the moment to leave dead docs behind. A migration is the cheapest cleanup you'll ever get: everything you archive now is one less page to check in the new tool.
- Time
- half a day
- Output
- one sheet, one row per channel
Get the workspace owner involved
Only the workspace owner receives the backup link. If the person who created Slite has left, or the owner is a shared admin address, sort that out first.
Then switch on the automatic monthly backup in the same settings page. It only produces Markdown, but it gives you a safety net while the move is under way.
- Where
- Settings, Workspace, General Settings, Export & Backup
- Risk if skipped
- no access to the backup
Run the backup and download it the same week
Launch a manual backup in Markdown (or HTML if your target tool handles it better). Slite emails a .zip link that stays valid for 15 days. Download it right away and store it outside Slite, in your shared drive.
Open the archive and check two things: that every channel is there, and whether any file over 200 MiB is missing. Those big files are excluded from the backup and need to be downloaded by hand.
- Link valid
- 15 days
- Excluded
- files over 200 MiB
Save what the backup leaves out
Comments and version history don't leave Slite. For docs where a comment thread holds a decision, copy the conclusion into the doc itself before you export, or print the doc to PDF. Check your large tables too: they can come out truncated, and an HTML export of that single doc is the fix.
If a team needs a whole branch of docs with its sub-docs, Slite publishes an official script that exports a doc and its children through the API.
- Lost on export
- comments, history
- Fix
- PDF or single-doc HTML
Import one channel first, then the rest
Pick a channel with tables, images and internal links, and import it alone during your trial in the new tool. Notion takes the zip directly; Slab follows its Slite guide; elsewhere you import the Markdown files. Check headings, images and links, then fix the method before importing everything.
On Notion, keep each archive under 10,000 files. On Slab's free plan, remember the 10 MB attachment limit.
- Time
- one to three days
- Test
- one complex channel
Switch the links, then close Slite
Update the links in Slack, your onboarding checklist and your tools so they point to the new wiki. Rebuild permissions and invite guests. Tell the team the date after which Slite becomes read-only in practice.
Keep your Slite subscription until the end of the billing period if you can, and run one last backup before it ends. You can't undo a deleted workspace.
- Time
- one to two weeks of overlap
- Last action
- a final backup

What makes a Slite migration go wrong
Moving a wiki looks easy because it's just text. The trouble comes from what isn't text: who can run the export, what the export leaves out, and the hundreds of links pointing at the old pages.
Letting the backup link expire
The .zip link lasts 15 days and goes to one person. If the owner is on vacation, the window closes and you start over. Plan the backup for a week when the owner is around, and download it the same day.
Losing the decisions in comments
Comments don't follow the export. On a product team, that's often where the "why" lives. Spend an hour bringing the key conclusions into the doc bodies before you leave.
Picking on price per seat alone
Per-seat prices hide minimums and steps. Tettra bills 10 users at least, Outline jumps from $10 to $79 at the eleventh member, and Notion's full AI is on Business, not Plus. Price your real team size, and next year's too.
Paying editors' prices for readers
If you're leaving Slite because readers cost full seats, check the target's rules. Confluence and Slab are free up to 10 users, Tettra only counts people who accept the invite, and Outline Cloud charges by team size, not by seat.
Moving everything at once
A wiki that took three years to grow doesn't need to move in one afternoon. Import the docs people actually read, archive the rest in the backup, and pull them in later if someone asks.
Forgetting the docs outside the wiki
Public docs on a custom domain, links in your help center, bookmarks in Slack channels: they all break on the day you close Slite. If you're also rethinking chat, our guide to leaving Slack covers that move, and our knowledge base software ranking compares the wider field.
- Channel inventory with owners and most-read docs
- Workspace owner confirmed and available
- Automatic monthly backup switched on
- Manual backup downloaded and stored outside Slite
- Files over 200 MiB downloaded by hand
- Key comment threads copied into the docs
- Large tables checked, re-exported in HTML if truncated
- One complex channel imported and checked first
- Links in Slack and tools pointing to the new wiki
- Final backup taken before the subscription ends
Slite alternatives: frequently asked questions
Is Slite free?
No. Slite has no free plan in 2026. You get a 14-day trial of Basic or Pro without a card, then a paid plan starts at $10 per user per month billed yearly. You can't invite guests during the trial, and nonprofits or schools can ask support for a discount on Basic.
How much does Slite cost for a team of 10?
$100 a month on Basic and $200 a month on Pro, both billed yearly. Guests are free, up to 5 per paid member. Read-only seats only exist on Enterprise, which is quote-only, so every regular reader on Basic or Pro is a full seat.
What's the best free alternative to Slite?
Slab for a team of up to 10: unlimited posts, but 10 MB attachments and 90 days of history. Confluence is also free up to 10 users with 2 GB. Notion's free plan works solo but limits blocks for teams, and Nuclino's free plan stops at 50 items.
Slite or Notion: which one should you pick?
Slite if you want a calm wiki and nothing else. Notion if you also need databases, project boards and linked pages. Notion Plus costs the same as Slite Basic, $10 per member yearly. Our Notion alternatives page covers the reverse move, and our ClickUp vs Notion comparison helps if tasks matter as much as docs.
How do I export all my Slite docs at once?
Through the workspace backup: Settings, Workspace, General Settings, Export & Backup. Choose Markdown or HTML. The .zip link goes to the workspace owner only and is valid for 15 days. There's no bulk export of a single channel from the interface.
Does Slite limit AI by plan?
Yes. Basic includes 30 Ask questions per seat and 30 AI edits per user each month. Pro unlocks the Slite Agent, search across connected tools, doc fact-checking with suggested fixes and unlimited AI edits, with 50 agent credits per seat a month.
Is there an open-source or self-hosted alternative to Slite?
Outline is the most direct one: a free self-hosted Community edition, or $4 per user yearly for the Business edition with a 10-user minimum. Check its license terms before calling it open source. BookStack and Docmost are other self-hosted wikis; plan a technical owner for updates and backups.
Can ClickUp replace Slite?
Yes, if your docs mostly support tasks. ClickUp puts docs next to projects, from $9 per user yearly on Core. Its wiki is less polished than Slite's. Our ClickUp review rates it 4.2 out of 5, and ClickUp pricing breaks down the tiers.
How long does a Slite migration take?
For a team of 10 to 30, plan two to three weeks: a day to map and back up, one to three days to import and check, then one to two weeks of overlap while links switch over. The backup itself arrives by email; download it within the 15-day window.
