Kowiki vs Tettra: Two Approaches to Slack Knowledge Bases Both Kowiki and
Tettra offer native Slack integration with App Home interfaces. But they take different approaches to where your content lives and whether they support Microsoft Teams. ## The Core Difference Tettra is a wiki platform with built-in content creation. You create and organize content within Tettra, and it integrates with Slack for access. Kowiki is a wiki platform that supports both internal and public wikis. It connects to Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive, and delivers content through native Slack and Teams interfaces, the web, and public wikis with custom domains. ## Slack Integration: Both Have Real Interfaces This is where both tools shine compared to many competitors. Both provide: - Slack App Home: A native interface to browse and search your knowledge base - AI-powered answers: Ask questions and get answers from your documentation - Search from Slack: Find content without leaving the chat Many "Slack-integrated" knowledge bases only offer slash commands or notifications. Both Kowiki and Tettra give you actual interfaces to browse content. ## Teams Integration: Kowiki Has It, Tettra Doesn't Kowiki offers native Microsoft Teams integration with tab-based interfaces. Your team can browse and search documentation directly within Teams channels. Tettra has no Microsoft Teams integration. If your team uses Teams, you're out of luck. ## Where Kowiki Wins ### Microsoft Teams Support Native Teams integration with tab-based interfaces. Tettra offers nothing for Teams users. ### Multi-Source Search Search across all your connected content sources simultaneously. Tettra can link to external files but doesn't search across them. ### Real-Time Sync When someone updates a document in Google Drive, that change is immediately reflected in Kowiki. Tettra requires manual updates. ### Works With Existing Docs Your documentation stays in its original location. No migration project, no duplicate content. ### Flat Pricing Kowiki's pricing doesn't scale with team size. Tettra charges per user. ## Where Tettra Wins ### Built-In Content Creation Tettra includes a full wiki editor for creating content directly. If you're building a knowledge base from scratch, this can be useful. ### Content Verification Tettra offers workflows to verify and keep content up to date, with reminders to review pages. ### GitHub & Confluence Integration Tettra integrates with GitHub and Confluence, making it useful for engineering teams. ### Longer Track Record Tettra has been in the Slack knowledge base space longer and has more established features. ## Pricing Comparison | Plan | Kowiki | Tettra | |------|--------|--------| | Free | Yes (limited) | Yes (up to 10 users) | | Pro | {{ PRO_PRICE_MONTHLY }} flat | $8.33/user/month | | Enterprise | {{ BUSINESS_PRICE_MONTHLY }} flat | Custom | Tettra'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: - You need Microsoft Teams integration - Your docs already live in Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive - You want multi-source search across cloud platforms - You prefer flat pricing over per-user - You want real-time sync from your cloud docs Choose Tettra if: - You only use Slack (no Teams) - You want built-in content creation tools - You need content verification workflows - You use GitHub or Confluence and want integration - You're building a wiki from scratch Many teams use both: Tettra for actively maintained wiki content, Kowiki to make their broader Google Drive documentation accessible in Slack, Teams, and the web — including public wikis.
