Best Wiki Software in 2026
Updated
Shared knowledge can be easier to maintain when teams have a dedicated home for reference pages and documentation. Compare API access, custom domains, and SSO support for integration and administration, then weigh page permissions and version history for managing access and edits. Page limits, self-hosting, free plans, and paid-from pricing round out the tradeoffs as your requirements take shape. The options include BookStack, Docmost, and MediaWiki, alongside MoinMoin and Wiki.js. Consider how your team publishes and maintains content, and which controls or hosting arrangements need to fit your existing setup.
