Kowiki vs Slab: External Docs vs Modern Wiki Slab is known for its clean
design and unified search across multiple tools. Kowiki connects your existing cloud documentation to Slack, Teams, and the web — with support for both internal and public wikis. ## The Core Difference Slab is a modern wiki platform with a focus on clean design and unified search. You create content within Slab, and it can search across some integrated tools. Kowiki is a wiki platform that supports both internal and public wikis. It connects to various content sources like Google Drive and Dropbox, and delivers content through native Slack and Teams interfaces, the web, and public wikis with custom domains. ## Slack Integration: Interface vs Search Kowiki provides a native App Home interface in Slack. Your team can browse folders, search documents, and read content without leaving Slack. Slab's Slack integration is more limited: - Search for documents from Slack - Notifications when content is updated - No native browsing interface ## Teams Integration: Kowiki Has It, Slab Doesn't Kowiki offers native Microsoft Teams integration with tab-based interfaces. Slab has no Microsoft Teams integration. ## Where Kowiki Wins ### Native Chat Platform Interfaces Real, browsable interfaces in both Slack and Teams. Your team accesses knowledge without leaving their chat platform. ### Works With Existing Docs If your documentation is already in various content sources like Google Drive and Dropbox, Kowiki makes it accessible without migration. ### Multi-Source Search Search across all your connected cloud storage platforms from one search bar. ### Flat Pricing Kowiki's pricing doesn't scale with team size. Slab charges per user.
Real-Time Sync Changes in your cloud storage are immediately reflected in
Kowiki. ## Where Slab Wins ### Clean Design Slab is known for its beautiful, distraction-free interface for reading and creating content. ### Unified Search Slab can search across its content and some integrated tools (GitHub, Figma, etc.). ### Integrations Slab integrates with GitHub, Figma, Linear, and other modern tools. ### Content Organization Topics and nested structures for organizing content. ## Pricing Comparison | Plan | Kowiki | Slab | |------|--------|------| | Free | Yes (limited) | Yes (up to 10 users) | | Pro | {{ PRO_PRICE_MONTHLY }} flat | $8/user/month | | Enterprise | {{ BUSINESS_PRICE_MONTHLY }} flat | Custom | Slab's free tier is generous for small teams (10 users), but per-user costs add up. Kowiki's flat pricing is predictable at any scale. ## The Bottom Line Choose Kowiki if: - Your docs already live in cloud storage - You want native Slack and Teams interfaces - You need multi-source search across cloud platforms - You prefer flat pricing over per-user - You want to keep docs in their original location Choose Slab if:
- You want a clean, modern wiki experience - You use GitHub, Figma, or other tools Slab integrates with - You're building a knowledge base from scratch - You want unified search across multiple SaaS tools - You don't need Microsoft Teams integration
