Updated
In short: BookStack is ranked #1 of 33 as of 1 October 2026, ahead of Wiki.js and Docmost. The best-ranked option with a free plan is Wiki.js. The lowest first paid tier on this page is BlueSpice at €4.50/mo.
Shared documentation can range from an internal reference library to a broader knowledge base, and wiki software varies in how teams create and govern pages. Compare page permissions and version history, then check page limits alongside API access, custom domains and SSO support. Self-hosting is included for teams weighing where the software runs. BookStack and Wiki.js lead the ordering, followed by Docmost and BlueSpice; Confluence is also among the first entries. Free-plan availability and paid-from pricing round out the comparison. Match those details to your team's access rules, infrastructure preferences and integration needs.
